I'm new here. Granger and Flood are Ford dealers? What is the advantage buying an extended warranty from them rather than my local Ford dealer?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Is the Maverick Extended warranty worth it?
- Thread starter Edge Haley
- Start date
- Watchers 17
using an example
7 year 100k 0 deductible
granger - 1850.
local dealer, 3500.
SAME THING. order over phone at granger, use it at your local dealer next day. states/dealers charge their own pricing, but you can use it anywhere, so why not buy it cheaper elsewhere?

Price.
Any Ford dealer can sell you an EV unless you live in like Florida or California I wanna say. Those states require you to buy in-state. Ford sells the EV to the dealers who then mark it up, some ore than other. Places Like Granger mark it up very little, hoping to make it up by selling a lot of them.
so they are the costco and sams club of warranties?

Sort of, and I found their price for the warranty very reasonable. Given what even a minor service/repair costs these days I think it is absolutely "worth it" if you plan to keep your vehicle 6-8-or more years. Be sure to get the day one rental and "bulb replacement" coverage too, they cost additional peanuts and cover you even more. I used my Ford points to cover part of the cost and went for the interest free 18 mo pay plan, so the cost is not noticeable. JMHO.
The fact these extended warrantys even exist is a sad commentary On the long term reliability of a vehicle. They never used to be offered, or needed. I think they are a money grab, but its your money,if it gives you peace of mind,go for it!

If I'm still driving (you never know) I'll trade it in for the newest Maverick with the "Flying option"!

Wrong......I purchased a $2205 ESP warranty 5 yrs 125 K $50 deductible for my Edge. From Ziegler Ford FL . @ 61K New trans Bill was $6800......2 other repairs totaling $1800. Most Ford dealerships charge over $200 hr labor. Still have 1 yr and 20 left on the warranty.

Sounds like it but all vehicle manufacturers are having a very difficult time with the secondary suppliers of software driven electronics...and having to replace expensive components...mfgers like Ford did not make. I'm a long time Honda fan, but their reliability has really gone downhill in the last 10 years....with them admitting most of their slide in reliability is from 3rd party supplied electronics, like air-bags.
I've decided not to get the EW on the Maverick since I take relatively good care of the Maverick...The Porsche to the left had EW but every time something little breaks the Dealer seemed to always say it's not covered under my EW...so I dropped the EW on it.
I'd never touch one of the TV ad Extended Warranties. I've done some projects for people like Caravan, CarMax, etc...and they have the CarFax data that reveals the history of weak components of models, but the Maverick has very little history track record. If I had a major cost I'd probably fix it and look for a trade-in. Right now, the increased price of 2025 Maverick would probably push me to another brand. My Maverick XLT was a steal for $24,XXX but not at $40,000.

I think it's worth it to insulate yourself from some of the risk of expensive items like major engine or transmission repairs, LED lights, heater core (dash out), or anything involving a wiring harness (dash out, major disassembly).
People are buying warranties that are priced right, from reputable vendors that do make sense financially because the average vehicle age and length of ownership is creeping up. I kept my last one for 8, and would like to get 10 out of this one realistically. When I was younger I was switching vehicles every 3-4 years.
