ESP Warranty through Ziegler Ford

[jsus]

What does an extended warranty cover that a regular does not? Just last longer? If a part wears out and needs replacement is it covered? I am new to new cars lol

Depends which option you select as to what all is covered, from PowertrainCARE all the way up to PremiumCARE. At minimum, it covers the powertrain longer - the components that provide power to move the vehicle down the road (focused around engine, transmission, etc.). At the high end, basically everything.

There are also options for key, lighting, and rental coverage, if you're worried about any of those. If it needs to be kept overnight, a rental is included, but you have the option to pay more for an immediate rental even if repairs will be done same day. Though, I'm not sure when that ever happens unless you find a unicorn dealer that's not busy...

FordProtect is the most recommended option as it is direct through Ford and valid at any dealer in the country. 3rd party warranties tend to be less reputable.

Take a look at Ford's site to learn more: https://fordprotect.ford.com/extended-service-plan

If you do decide to purchase one, know that dealers tend to mark them up a lot over their cost. They aren't always willing to negotiate, as they prefer to make hundreds or more on each sale, just for filing the paperwork with Ford.

However, you can buy it at any time during the 36 mo/36,000 mi factory bumper to bumper warranty. Combine that with dealers like Zeigler Ford, Flood Ford, Granger Ford offering low markups when purchased online and it becomes much more affordable.

Feel free to request quotes from them to compare.

That said, like any form of warranty/insurance, whether or not it does pay for itself is hard to predict in advance. Only you can decide if it makes sense for you.

I wonder why Granger only goes 8 years and the others 10.

It's new, Granger probably just hasn't updated their site yet. They should be able to get you a quote for it if you reach out to them.

Also the prices past 8 years or 100k mi increases quite dramatically so they may not list it to avoid sticker shocking people.

Looking at lighting I thought it made sense, then though you need to add in your deductible. I know a new headlight is expensive now, but how much will it be in 5 years? Of course this should include labor, so that would be worth it if the whole grill needs to come off. Again though, I haven't had those type of issues though.

Granger added 10 year and the prices are fantastic. That is where I will be purchasing from.

I added the lighting option. It was only $70 thru Granger, pretty cheap I thought. That was the only add on I added on. I have dedicated work car so didn't need the rental stuff.

I decided on lighting too. It looks like key fob is included based on the brochure and not being able to add it.

Edit: $1,185.00 10yr/100k miles

That is with Ford points and light option. Not bad at all

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't even consider there would be a difference but I should have since they ask if the vehicle is AWD.

@docsmith1511 , apologies for confusing both of us. Congrats on the great deal!

Just trying to help folks out, thank you for this post.
