My plan, 3 year trade in for new car of my choosing.
It appears that your order is an unscheduled hybrid with constrained options. I would not spend too much time thinking about protection plans if I were you.

I see they are being built, but the whippersnappers are getting them first.🤔

Of course they had to put that stupid EGR valve in the highest one.
Your comment seems to imply coverage for the EGR valve is significant, which seems a bit odd given the cheap and easy nature of the fix.

That was kinda the point. The EGR valve is an easy fix and, in my experience, usually an early broken item. Honestly, they should put the thing on the standard maintenance rotation. "35,000 Miles: New Tires, Oil Change, Replace the EGR Valve...."

Who offers the cheapest Ford ESP? I noticed that Granger is pretty inexpensive.

  • I paid $2355 for the 5yr/60k miles PremiumCARE service plan
  • TOTAL for both = $3925
YMMV, but there's a saying about insurance, "it's expensive when you don't need it, and cheap when you do."

I bought the ESPs to give me peace of mind.
OWWWCH !!!! I priced your plan from Grainger - Ford EXP -Premium Plan 0 Deductible - 60K miles - Total = 685.00. If you paid 2355 you got 2 years additional coverage for over 1000 per year under 60K

To item # 2, I financed at 1.9%, so the interest on $3925 is very small. I didn't want to pay for the warranties separately, or out of pocket, so that's why I chose to finance them along with the truck.

My whole point wasnt that ESP plans were a waste of money it was that dealerships try and rip people off which sadly you may realize.

Yeah they got taken for a ride. Also the maintenance plans are like $200 per oil change and they basically only check the other things. Horrible deal.

The friendly "finance manager" strikes again. Dang, they have no shame ripping people off.

I'm leaning toward the ExtraCare, 8 years 100k, $50 deductible.

Granger and Zeigler look the same after the discount code. Both are quoting $965.

I figure at 5 years past the original warranty, I might have occasion to use the ESP about 5 times. That would effectively cost $243 ($193 + 50) per service or $1,215 total. That is probably a fairly average service cost, but the benefit is protection against any major issues. I've definitely had $800+ service bills on cars less than 8 years old, so this would aim to prevent those.

Interestingly, the $100 deductible is only $50 less ($905), which means the same scenario above would cost $281 per service or $1,405 total. There is virtually no scenario (other than not using it at all) where the $100 deductible is worth saving $50 upfront.

The $0 deductible only makes sense if I think I will need 8 or more service visits in the 5 year period.

Now - are there any horror stories out there about people having their plans rejected over silly loopholes? Anything I need to watch out for?

Flood Ford is another with some of the best Ford ESP pricing.

Note that some states (like Florida) are prohibited from participating in these...

I'm sure he enjoyed his HUGE commission. Looks like the dealership made well over $3,000 profit on just the warranty/maintenance plans, gasp! Hopefully the customer did not pay over MSRP for the vehicle or they really cleaned up big time.

Yet another reason why Florida sucks. The only thing we have going for us is no state income tax. I'll be looking for a ESP down the road but don't expect to find any deals.

It just shows how crooked the stealerships are. From manipulating interest rates , doubling or triple warranty plan costs, adding totally useless items like permaplate so called "security packages" vin etching, adding thousands to msrp is really just one of the ways they try and take your money.
