I have an ESP through EasyCare - Total Care coverage. My local Dealership confirmed it as very good coverage. Gives me peace of mind. I bought my 2006 Lariat in 2008 with 40,000 miles on it. Got a warranty to cover me until 75,000 or 2012. The amount I drive (4 miles to work), 2012 will come first. Here's a question... When this runs out on me, can I still get another extended warranty at say 65,000 miles and a 6 year old vehicle?

Yes... but it might cost more in your case since you didn't go with a Ford ESP.

That is why I went with a Ford ESP... because after the 7y/100k warranty is up, I can get a third warranty for 4y/47k miles from Ford without an inspection (obviously).

However, you can get a warranty, but you will need an inspection and it will probably cost more.

I'd only do it if you really love your truck and want to keep it forever.

The only reason I want to do it to mine is 3 reasons:

1. There is no reason for me to trade it in. It does everything and more.
2. It is standard shift... Ford will never make a F150 standard shift ever again. So I want to keep this one as long as possible before I go to the dreaded -- automatic.
3. I love my truck.

 

I doubt I will, but maybe... who knows, I keep my trucks for a while as well. My last F150 was a 95 that I got new in October of 94. Had it 14 years until I got my 06 last year. Oh, by the way, it was a standard shift :-) I do miss it at times!

Well, I was flipping my deck on either getting an extended warranty or a F250 diesel... but it just didn't make any sense.

Yeah, it's nice having a new truck... but it ain't nice paying for it each month when I could be spending the money on bigger and better things than a truck that does the practically the same thing that the current one does.

AFAIK, I will never be pulling large trailers and such, so I will never need the power of diesel...

Plus the new trucks are not standard... and I just can't compel myself to drive an automatic pickup truck, it just isn't happening so soon.

In another couple months it will be payed off and totally in my name... I just can't wait for that month...

 

I was not aware that I could get another Ford Warranty after my 7Yr-100K Ford Premuim ESP was expired. Is that something new?.....If that is true I might just get it after 7 years!....

 

Yes it is something new Ford has developed. Ford is the ONLY manufacturer able to offer it.

I suppose Ford really has been building better vehicles -- at least enough to stand behind them for 11y/147k miles.

 

What do they call it? Extended Extended Premium ESP+? (LOL)......I'll have to look into it, before my seven year ESP is up.......Thanks!........

 

No.

According to Mike at Lombard Ford (fordwarrantys.com), you can only get an additional Powertrain Care or Base Care plan.

You can't get the Premiumcare Plan after the 7y/100k.

However, I think after a 100k, all you need is Powertrain care... Basecare would be way more than you'd need... because if anything was going to break, it would have already.

 

Nice work manual!

 

Thanks!

You can also get a Premium Maintenance plan, where you can get oil changes to tire rotations covered with no out of pocket expense as well. I'm not sure what this costs, but I'm sure it is cheaper than paying for them time after time (think of it like locking in the price of oil for oil changes and other dealer services!). It's a great idea because you can just drive your truck into any dealer and have them do all the required maintainance and just drive home without needing to pay anything.

Plus you can get a dent repair program too...

Don't Worry About the Little Dings in Life
The road can take its toll on your vehicle. Then again, so can that shopping cart in the parking lot of your local supermarket

It happens. Sooner or later, your vehicle gets dented by any number of mishaps that occur over the life of your vehicle. They can add up, ultimately diminishing the looks of your car, truck or SUV.

Certified repir technicians remove minor dents, dings and creases by utilizing specialized tools to flex or manipulate metal back to its original form

DentCARE/TireCARE is not available in all 50 states.

 

Also keep in mind the warranty through Ford is transferable should you decide to sell, a great selling feature that will normally pay for itself and make selling easier.

 

Which would be excellent for my V6 F150...

But I'm not getting rid of it.

 

I went to one of these sites before I bought my truck, and printed out the plan I wanted and took that along with me. When I was asked if I wanted to purchase the extended warranty from the dealer I just said I was going to get it online. When they asked me where, I showed them my printouts. They could not match the 7yr/75k for $1200, but could match the 7yr/100k for $2000.

 

$2000?!

You should've waited and called them! Right now they are taking $195 off all their warranties.

I did the same thing, and right now for your's it is $1,965-$195=$1770... <-- Now that's a deal with $0 deductable PremiumCare 7yr/100k for a 08 F150 4wd.

Mine was far less because it isn't 4x4 though...

 

I'm still learning how to maximize the deal.
