The 3/36000 warranty isn't the best, has anyone found a fair price extended warranty that covers the necessities. When I bought my hybrid last year the dealer offered one that seemed good until he changed the price we had agreed on. Price went from 1600 to over 3500, tried to sneak it through on the paper work. Just looking for electrical and drive train, not actually bumper to bumper, just something to cover big ticket items.

My dealer finally came down to 1500 on my Tremor Lariat as i was signing paperwork . It started around 3000 .once they offered me the 1500 they said i could come back .
Never will . All my vehicles are always highly modded and I have always been the warranty .
First new truck purchase.thought about it for about 30seconds.
Dont trust most people to work on my stuff anyways.plus thats an enormous waste of money having dealership labor and parts cost.
If you still want that warranty go back to the finance guy and see if they will come back down , its still an outside policy vendor , just sold through ford .should be right around 1500 for up to 40k truck .carefull on some of those warranties as they may require you do everthing from owners manual as far as regular maintenance at approved shops and at certain mileages , from oil changes to , diff fluids, radiator fluids and even tire rotations.

Measuring from underneath. Roof not covered either. Interior debateable. Definitely not side mirrors. Don't even ask about side mirrors.

Definitely go with Granger. Price is going up soon. Also, if you have the LED lights, get the lighting add on. It's over 1K to replace.

Choose wisely, the number of years and the mileage. We tow our Maverick as much as we drive it, so I chose an 8 yr, 36000 mile Premiumcare ESP warranty from @Granger Ford for both our 2023 and 2024. Granger is a sponsor here, and you should be able to buy from them if you are in Texas.

Here's our 2024 warranty. Includes first day rental and Lights for $475.

Thank you for your support

I am trying to remember all of the National Ford Dealers that sell the Ford Extended "Premium Care" Warranty.

I know about

Lombard
Granger
Ziegler

I thought there were 2 or 3 others.

Granger is a Ford extended warranty. They have an exceptional pricing model that beats standard dealer pricing every day. However, local dealers have tons of flexibility in pricing on warranties, and if you press them you might find they are willing match Granger. Granger is still making a profit in every warranty they sell. If you’re serious about buying, contact your local dealer and tell them you’re ready to buy the warranty. You can give your money to Granger, or to them. Just be firm that dealer needs to match Granger price, which is clearly published for the whole world to see.

but you pay tax locally, if you are out of state, you dont pay tax to granger.

thats a 200-250 dollar savings immediately.

For those states with no sales tax including Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon - it’s a moot point.

You also gain the potential benefit of the local dealer as both the selling agent and servicing agent for your warranty. Are they going to represent you better because you bought the warranty from them versus Granger?

Extended warranty’s are arguably the highest profit add-on in the car sales business. They rarely get fully (if at all) utilized, and there is zero inventory holding cost. It’s just paper. When faced with the prospect of a low margin sale versus a NO margin sale, it’s interesting how motivated a dealership can get.

correct. I got them to take $$ off my car in exchange of paying like WAY WAY EXPENSIVE WARRANTY. was hook line sinker, bc I knew I could cancel it, I came in, canceled warranty and paid car off few days later. they was pissed. they took a few grand off my msrp car and I let them charge me stupid high loan lol. I didnt care bc I knew I was paying it that week

I would have been raped if I didnt have that money in bank though, I was in a car crash, so had the $ from settlement just sitting there. but I wasn't telling dealer that

Interesting thing I just found. I priced an extended warranty on a 22 Hybrid FWD w/under 36k miles and under 36 months. Premium care, 100K/6 years, $100 deductible:
Granger: PA $1170, NY $1305
Flood: PA $1170, NY $1190
Lombard: PA $1434, NY $1571 (both with discount code)
Ziegler: Did not quote as it required my name, address, phone etc.

I was curious on the state aspect as I am in the process of a move (NY->PA).

I’m another happy Granger ESP purchaser.
$1,615 for an 8 yr / 100,000mi Premium Care warranty.
