I think wear items might be the only exception. But no, I think you are getting that from my comment about new tech? something like the Nissan belt CVTs when they first came out and were failing consistently at around 40k miles, and then against and again after 40kish miles. People with extended warranties were probably really happy to have them in those cases.Are you implying that there's a portion of this brand new vehicle that Ford DOESN'T cover for at least 36k miles - but that only an extended warranty would pay for?
I think I need examples. I've owned a lot of new cars over the course of my long life, and I have never needed or used an extended warranty before the manufacturer warranty expired.
In fact, I've only once had a big repair that MIGHT have been covered by an extended warranty, and that was a collapsed fuel tank at 128,000 miles.
To be clear I don't buy extended warranties in general. I think there is only one case in my entire life that an extended warranty would have actually paid off (got a used car that was a bit of a lemon) and even in that case, an extended warranty would have only saved me a couple hundred.
