Ford Maverick Extended Warranty at $25 Over Dealer Cost from Granger Ford- PAYMENT PLAN AVAILABLE!!!

[Rob Cactus Gray]

I'm dumb and need someone to break this down for me. Ford offers a 3 year warranty with the purchase of the vehicle? Then adding a 6 year extended warranty gives you double coverage for 3 years. Then 3 years after the expiration of the original Ford warranty? So you are actually only getting 3 additional years. Correct?

You are correct. The extended (key word) warranty won’t do much (if anything) for the first three years. You’re really buying the years after the manufacturer warranty. The marketing is to make it sound like more than it is. The first 3 years is included with the vehicle and additional years can be purchase. Ford could call it a +3 year, + 4 year, etc. warranty which would likely confuse people as well. So, a 6 includes the 3-year bumper to bumper and 3 years of extended warranty. This is true if you buy the 6-year warranty at the end of the 3 years as well, but the price will be a few hundred more.

I won’t be buying one, but I’m mechanically inclined. My recommendation is to take the $2k and throw it in a S&P 500 ETF. When (if) you need to do a major repair tap into it. If you decide the Maverick isn't for you before the 3-year period is up, you pocketed some nice cash. If you want to add the warranty at 35 months into owning the Maverick, you will likely have made enough money to cover the price increases plus a little.

Some people like the "peace of mind" and Granger Ford are offering a good deal on these warranties. Not knocking them, they have done a great job giving people deals on tons of Ford products.

That is my understanding. So with the additional purchase, you're really just buying the later years. However, the additional coverage might cover more items than the "automatic" coverage Ford gives on every purchase. Also, it's the later years that are more likely for some problems to appear. I don't know much about cars, certainly not much about these plans. They seem like a good deal from my limited knowledge. It would be nice to hear others talk about the different levels. Also there is the maintenance plan which might be necessary in a way to keep them honest on the warranty plan.

Typically the cost is lower if you purchase when the vehicle is new. You can purchase up to the time/mileage that your warranty ends, but the cost is higher then.

This shows the power of the internet. Dealers which are transparent and understand how to WWW will win out over those that try to keep doing things the old ways.

Um, unless something has changed in the last 8 months, there is no price difference in purchasing the Ford ESP on day one of ownership vs at any time during your inherent 3/36k warranty. I recall there is no differentiation in the rate tables. At least that was the case when i purchased mine for my Raptor at the end of it's factory warranty last Summer. Unless of course the pricing goes up for the plans over time.....

I believe even if you buy it toward the end of the factory warranty, it is still considered effective from the vehicle purchase date, correct? In other words, regardless of when the extended warranty is purchased, you're still essentially getting coverage for the number of years purchased less the 3-year factory warranty. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

Ford ESP starts at delivery date and mileage.

[MikeYork5]

And dealer cost is how much did you not say?

?? Depends on plan, time, mileage, etc.

 

[MikeYork5]

I really hope you have this offer available when my Maverick arrives later this summer (I hope!). Are y'all considering grandfathering those who order from you but the vehicle does not arrive prior to the offer closing? That would be nice!

LOL - You need a VIN# and other vehicle info to purchase the plan -

Well, duh! I'm hoping it is still available when my VIN arrives or they make an exception for those who ordered thru them.

$100 surcharge when purchasing AFTER 12 months or 12,000 miles of ownership

Duh...Not happening, you need a Warranty Start Date (sale date) as well - relax brother, if not through Granger, Flood, Zeigler, and others offer basically same deal, within a few bucks of each other.

There is a surcharge after 12 months or 12,000 miles when pricing goes up.

There have also been small price increases that mirror inflation as well, but not huge bumps.

I emailed the address provided by Grainger. to get a quote. Brooke from “Ford ESP” responded with a quote (8 yrs/85K miles)?that was $500 over dealer cost ($1140 cost, my price $1640…) What’s going on?

When I pointed this out, I got the following is a return email:

“TYPO $1,190

(mistakes happen)”

 

[PNWMaverick]

Yes, our price is better than the link here by $50 on average.

I was quoted about $200 more than what those prices would be. Granger is quoting $1,000 for a 6/100K with a $200 deductible. When $50 below the prices listed in the link would put it around $800 for that warranty.

Would location throw the quote that much?
