Ford ESP 1000% vs some aftermarket crap.

Check Flood Ford, etc. for options and best prices.

I read some place on this forum that Granger Ford will sell at $50 above cost. Seems reasonable to me. My plan is to see if local dealer will offer me the same deal and if so, buy from local, supporting local business. HOWEVER . . . if not willing to negotiate, I plan on going with Granger Ford.

I would not buy an ex warranty 3 yrs in advance of maybe needing it, or 8 years for all hybrid components. What if you sell your Mav before then because someone makes you an offer you can't refuse? (Like in The Godfather.) I would buy Car Shield or some other ex warr later.

This video I posted of my window stickers shows the warranties. I did not pay the $10k ADM fyi...

Went with the middle package, "Premium", added 5 years(to 8 total, the limit) and 100k(low mile driver) for about $1260) went with $100 deductible as it was little extra.
Went OEM as I have more belief they will be around, and the cost was very close. I figured if the A/C went, I was $$ ahead. DItto one hit on: engine, injection, turbo, trans... pick one.
If not, well life is a gamble with known outcome...

If you decide to buy an extended warranty, just make sure its from Ford.
i’ve had good luck with pricing from my dealer matching Flood Ford.

Genuine Ford ESP is honored at all Ford dealers and is cancelable for a prorated refund as well as transferable..

Granger, Flood Ford, etc. generally offer the best deals on genuine Ford ESP warranties and might be a bargaining chip locally.

Thanks for all replies; I will go with the consensus!

I went with Ford Protect Premium Care. I like the fact that it shows up on my Ford customer profile and hopefully that means I don't have to go through too much bureaucratic b.s. when I need to use it. I hope, anyway.

My dealer wouldn’t talk to me about warranty after I told him of Granger. So I called Granger and did the deal.

Which extended warranty did you get?

Which extended warranty did you get?

Ford ESP 6 yrs 85,000 miles with light, key and towing. I wouldn’t buy aftermarket because of the amount of calls I get from these companies.

You can buy the extended warranty from a dealer you did not buy the vehicle from?
