The thing is, some state laws have warrantys regulated (such as mine), and purchasing and pricing is regulated. In my state, prices are fixed and non-negotiable. Furthermore, it is against the law to sell warranties to someone in Florida either on-line or over the phone.
If you actually go to Ford's ESP website they tell you this. A dealer told me this, as I was trying to negotiate, I did not believe him until I looked several places and found this out myself.
It is a little disingenuous if you are in any way associated with this company to be posting this stuff, as this is NOT Ford.

Wow, this is the first time I've heard any such thing... I just bought one from them a few months back. Does that mean that my ESP is not in effect? What can I do to confirm/verify? Now I'm getting a little nervous.
