Extended Warranty

I just did a quick search for extended warranties on google and their must be over a hundred.
Let me give you some suggestions. If your vehicle is still under manufacturer's warranty you have access to Ford's own extended warranty-I think the maximum you can get is 5 years or 75K-which ever comes first.
If you go aftermarket-get details on what they DO NOT cover. If the list of exclusions is longer than what they cover, move on. Ideally you want bumber to bumber coverage with a $50-100 deductible per visit-not per item. Also find out about reimbursement, rental cars, trip interruption, etc. I own a repair shop in the Atlanta area and had a warranty company want me to repair a vehicle for next to nothing (both in labor hours and labor rate)-and they were going to SEND me the parts-like taking your steak to Outback!
Good luck-should not pay more than $1500

This is a dealer in the mid-west that sells the Ford Extended Warranty at a discount. I saved about $500 over the best price my local dealer would offer. It is indeed the actual Ford plan, good at any dealer in the country.

I checked out the website, and that dealer has some great prices. I talked to my dealer last Sat. and they wanted $1195 for the premium care with 60month/75000mile coverage. This dealer will sell me the same coverage for $835. Guess where I'm going to buy it? He's about 90 minutes away on I-80, but it wouldn't matter if he was 2000 miles away because the plan works with any Ford dealership.

Hi Tonka01,
A good site to check on Ford Extended Service Plan is \\www.fordesp.com. Since I put an average of 20K miles/yr on my truck I purchased the 5yr 100k PremiumCare. They charged me $1232.60. My home dealer wanted me to pay $1640.00.
