7 Year/100K “Platinum” Ford Service Contract for $3495.

[RAnSD619]

Just got word that my Mav arrived at the dealer. Picking it up tomorrow. They are honoring the order price. They have also offered a 7 year / 100K miles “platinum” Ford service contract for an additional $3,495. I have asked for more info but all she could tell me was that included everything except windshield, tires, and brakes. I don’t have a gauge if this a good or bad deal. Help… I’d like to phone a MTC-friend. If it helps I’m in SoCal where everything is expensive (we call it the “sun tax”).

Bad deal, go to floodfordesp.com it’s way cheaper than that. Like under $1500 and you can add tires etc for a bit more.

Never mind my first reply, you’re screwed California law won’t allow you to buy online from out of state providers. Here in Arkansas I just looked and it would cost me $1460
For a $50 deductible 7yr/100,000 mile warranty.

My dealer’s version of Platinum was about $6k (!!!) though they were also offering ceramic coating, PPF on the front end, oil changes, etc…. I passed on all of their offerings, fully aware ahead of time of Flood Ford’s ESP pricing. A 10 year 100k Premium ESP on a brand new truck was roughly $1500. You do have your first three years to decide to even buy the ESP warranty or not.

I was concerned about costs rising in the future, which yes, everything gets more expensive, but I ran my numbers on Flood Ford both using “under 12 months” of ownership and 300 miles, vs. under 36 months of ownership and 30,000 miles. The (current) cost difference was roughly $400 more if you waited. Not much difference to me.

I had a friend who moved to California years ago and was bragging about his $5000 sign on bonus. I told him he’d be sorry. A month later he e-mailed and told me I was right he was sharing an apartment with 6 other people and his share of rent was over $1000

Yeah $5k doesn’t get far.

You have time to decide, you can always get it later. Seems pretty expensive to me. Shop around.

Just went and it looks like under 1600 gets you a "0" deductible and 100k miles... covering most but hybrird batter and dash pad ? among other things...

Know how that is. I live in the worst city in Arkansas because family is close by, only thing going for it is that it is in Arkansas.

Get the quote in writing for the $1500 deal from flood ford. Let your dealer “match” it. Even if they only drop to 2 grand look how much you saved. If not walk away. Tons of fat in maintenance plans!

I am also in socal and was getting a pretty awful warranty offer as well. Politely declined and contacted Granger. If you have access to out of state address Granger may be able to help out. I recommend you contact them.

My family has a vacation house in Vegas. I could possibly use that address. If anything, I used Nevada for Flood / Granger quotes that I will be taking me into the dreaded finance office.
