Extended warranty help

[MHW100]

Hoping to get some opinions on extended Ford warranty. Here are the options I'm thinking about.

5 year b to b 2,100
6 year b to b 2,800
7 year Powertrain 2,300

I plan on keeping this 2018 for likely at least 7 years and the failures seem drivetrain related so I'm leaning toward the powertrain warranty . If I lose the ac or sync after 3 years I'll just suck it up.

What do you guys think ?

For my 2017 SHO PP (bought this year) I puchased the Ford Protect PremiumCARE, 6 years 125,000 miles. Honestly, I traded my 2013 SHO PP this year with 88k and had virtually no problems, but I just like the piece of mind.

I don't think they have switched refrigerant to 1234cyf yet, but doublecheck on that. If they HAVE, then get the PremiumCARE that laurin1 mentioned. Failures in the 1234cyf system would be EXTREMELY expensive to fix.

 

[laurin1]

Oh, mine was $3501 though. Of course, you could cut those miles down if you drove less than me and save some money.

I didn't realize

I didn't realize there were any significant a/c failures with this car .

These plans are very expensive it seems

How long until the extended is needed? I would not even look at the cost until you get close to the end of the warranty. Then look at the new quotes and go from there. I personally just look at powertrain and cross my fingers on the rest. If this was a high end luxury vehicle I would consider b2b.

I'm thinking about 7 years given its the last of its kind . I think to add it towards the end there is some kind of surcharge or additional cost if I'm not mistaken .

Yes I am debating an extended warranty on my 2014 f150 which is currently way out of warranty. I can still get a Ford Protect ESP before it hits 100k. So my comment is that you have time to wait and see what you think several years in the future as to whether you still want to keep the car, how much warranty may make sense, I totaled it and spent money on a warranty no longer viable, etc.

 

[MHW100]

Really good points . Thank you everyone

These warranties seldom pay for themselves. I've only had one extended warranty that I paid for. They offered an additional 5/50, b-b to my daughter's 16 Fusion for $200. ($50 deductible) I took that.

Otherwise, you are just pre-paying for repairs, and financing that sometimes.

I would just get the power train warranty the majority of failures are power train related, ptu, turbos, water pump etc. but as said before I would wait till your factory warranty is near the end of its life. From what I understand the extended warranty starts as soon as you purchase it so you will have useless double coverage.

I bought the extended warranty from Lombard Ford, who sells these very very cheap.

It's really a gamble....8 years later and I've never made a claim.

FYI, I believe the cost goes up the longer you wait. I waited just a few months to purchase mine and it went up a couple hundred dollars. Yes, you have double coverage, but the extended has extras (like free rental cars instead of being up to the dealer), and I think they include the fact that you have double in the price and if you wait until the end, the cost will be a lot more.

Where are you looking at for warranties? Flood Ford and another that I'll post when I figure out usually offer great prices.

Edit: I think Zeigler is the other one.

 

[MHW100]

Yes it is more expensive from Ford after one year and you always have to pay whatever the increased pricing might be of the plan .

Looking in Canada. Contacted several dealers and found premiumcare b to b for $2k CAD for 100,000 km . That's roughly $1400 and 62,000 mi for my American friends . That seems pretty cheap.

Those seem expensive. When I bough my 2015 in Feb. 2017. I added the Ford 7y100k b2b for $1305. That's with a $100 deductible. But my car was already CPO so maybe that's why your choices are more expensive.

The car being a CPO makes a BIG difference. I was looking at several SHOs before buying mine. The quotes were vastly cheaper for CPO cars. As others have said, they are about 200 cheaper in the first 12 months or 12k miles. Flood Ford is the cheapest usually, but Ziegler will send you a coupon code that saves around $225 if you email them and ask them to match Flood. It makes them slightly cheaper than Flood, and Ziegler has excellent customer service. I have bought an ESP on a brand new car, and yes, it’s a bit redundant, but if you change your mind or sell the car before the basic warranty is up, you get most of your money back. Even once the car has quite a bit of mileage, you get back more than you think you would. We sold our 5 year old Fusion with 80k on it and got back over $800. Plus, your rental benefits start as soon as you buy the ESP. With first day rental, the minute they keep your car you’re entitled to a rental car, not just a loaner. Many dealers will try to make you take their loaner because they make money off Ford by charging them for the loaner, but you are not required to take it. With the enhanced rental, that will get you a premium car, truck, or suv so you’re not driving a Fiesta, Versa, or some other crappy little compact.

On my 2016 SHO with 16k miles I paid $2465 for 7/125 premium care with $100 deductible with first day rental, enhanced rental, and lighting coverage.

Edited because I typed 100 the first time for some reason. It was actually 7/125.

Added like at the dealership? Because they subsidize those as part of the whole package.
