They add a small fee and if you are financing it's something like a 6% add on but the financing itself is currently 0% for 18 months. Overall, cheaper than almost every other dealer for a genuine ESP warranty.

Thank you!

A good trick for searching this site is to check the box for "Search Titles Only."
When I check that box for my search I find what I'm looking for almost 95% of the time.
Also, I don't know how much you've looked into Ford ESP plans yet but you can usually save a lot of money by purchasing them from Granger Ford or Flood Ford. They both have online stores to purchase ESP's and their prices almost always will save you a lot of money over the local dealership prices.

I used the Flood Ford ESP internet pricing page to have my dealer match the price. They matched it immediately.

Save your money each month and you will be a head of the game . if you can't then buy extended warranty imo .

I bought one for mine. 75K, no time limit. Cost $1,800.

Never bought one, never will. Maverick gets traded a month or two before the warranty expires. That's just me. I look at what people pay for extended warranties, and I just apply those thousands to the trade depreciation in my mind, making a new car every three that much more desirable. But to each their own.

No thanks . use money you would have spent on emergency fund or save up an emergency fund . dealerships barely perform fixes right under warranty . I don't want to be stuck with them longer .

That is definitely not always the case.

TLDR:
*Purchased Land Rover For $26,998 + $3,699 Carmax warranty.
*Carmax paid $21,276 in warranty claims over the life of the warranty.

I paid about $1250 for a 8 year warranty, full coverage. I keep my vehicles usually for 10 years.
