Would you buy an extended warranty? Maintenance contract?

Geico does not.

GEICO in fact does. Mechanical breakdown insurance. Credit unions may offer it as well.

The main downside is you need to stick with GEICO for the full duration and you'll probably end up paying as much as more than buying FordCare in full from somewhere like Granger at the start.

If you have full insurance coverage, your insurance company would have a better deal for extended warranty!! I would look into that!!

Not a better deal if paying $38.00 a month for 84 months. 74 X $38.00 = $3192. You can get Ford ESP for a better price than that.

Being forced to stay with one insurance company is enough to keep me from getting it.

As a rule, I don't purchase warranties on small purchase items, but automobiles are a different story. My Maverick being the first year model of a revolutionary vehicle, I opted for the extended warranty. One trouble visit to the dealer would pay for it.

In was quoted $5200 for the extended warranty from Ford website!! So the insurance option was a better deal.. there is cons and pros on both sides..

Flood Ford sells the Ford Premium Care ESP, price for 7 years / 100,000 miles with a $200.00 deductible is $1160.00. (edited I had entered $960 the first time)

That’s very odd that you quote is a lot cheaper then mine!!!! Looking at my quote it’s the full package but still I wonder if it’s age , location or the color of the Maverick haves an influence on the price, that really ticks me off !!

It's the markup from Ford and many dealers. That's why you paid so much. You can cancel it and get a refund and then spend a third of what gets refunded at Flood Ford or Granger Motors (and Ziegler and others I'm sure) to get the same thing - a Ford ESP - at dealer cost plus $50 or plus $100.

Look into it. Ford refunds those plans and prorates the refund based on mileage.

I purchased the Ford ESP (4 years / 48k, $100 ded) on my Edge prior to the standard 3/36k expiring. Cost was $895. (2019). It was a peace of mind as I fear the electronics.

I guess you didn’t google correctly, it’s under mechanical breakdown insurance from Geico and it’s similar to the dealership extended warranty. I only pay $38 a month.. it’s a 7 year 100,000 miles plan.

Well i guess it depends on which state you live. Gieco I called said NO to me on the phone.

**Nailed it. I printed off the price from this site and took it to the dealer with me. He wanted $3200 until I told him I could get it for $1100. He didn't even try to price match.
