Ford extended warranty???

[Andy C]

Is it recommended to get the ford extended warranty? I know Honda has Hondacare you can get for around 1400 for 8 years 120k miles, but I am not familiar with if ford has similar thing.

If it does, can you please share your recommendations? With so many electronics, maybe it is a good to have for peace of mind.

If you decide to get an extended Ford warranty, Lombard Ford sells them on the Internet for the best price I've been able to find. They're 1/3 the price some dealers charge.

https://www.lombardfordwarrantys.com/

Their Site describes all the options a dealer would offer with samples of the contracts.

I bought one. Go to Lombard or Flood Ford online and get a quote. Take that quote to your dealer and they’ll match it.

It’s cheap insurance if you ask me. $1200 to know my ride is covered bumper to bumper for 100,000 miles is money well spent in my book.

Which coverage did you get? Looks like there are few choices.

8 years, 100k miles (I misremembered in my post above), $100 deductible.

Another perk: it includes rental coverage when your vehicle is in the shop. Although my dealership does free loaners so that’s kinda moot for me, but I’ve got it if my dealer changes it’s policy.

And it was $1600. Apparently my memory gets worse the later it is. Ha!

Andersen Koch Ford was my choice for the extended warranty. I purchased on-line. They are priced about the same as the others. I think I paid around $1400 for 7 years, about 2 years ago.

Great information. Extended warranty is a high profit item for the dealer and finance manager. They typically double their money on the plans they sell.

Lombard Ford is a great alternative from what I am reading. Thx for sharing!

I have extended warranty through USAA.

Here's the link for Flood Ford: https://www.floodfordesp.com/

It doesnt really matter who you use (Flood, Lombard, etc.) They are all selling the same plan that's honored at all Ford dealerships, so just go with whoever is cheaper and either buy from them or use them to lever your dealer down.

Interestingly, the quote you'll get from any of those online folks is not trim-specific. So when you get an online quote, it's just for a general expi. That means if you are covering a Platinum (or a tricked out Ltd) with all the electronic doodads which are certainly prone to breaking, those aren't factored in. I think when you go through the whole purchase process with one of them you have to submit your VIN and they'll give you an updated quote. But I didn't buy from them...I took the general base quote to my dealer and they matched it for my Platinum. So I probably got an XLT priced plan for my Platinum.

There are different plans. One that’s more comprehensive to more basic. All y’all took the more comprehensive approach or more basic?

I think it was called premium warranty and base warranty or something like that.

I have a 2013 Expy for which I bought the Ford ESP Premium Care from Flood online. An important point, which was true when I bought mine, is that whatever length/mileage that you select begins when you buy the ESP, not the date of vehicle purchase. You do need to get it before the factory warranty expires, so I purchased my ESP with 35000+ on the odometer. All that does not address the wisdom of extended warranties. My 5 year old truck runs great, but I’ve had little things fixed, like the seat heater/ventilator, that I would have lived without otherwise. It’s a personal choice.

I purchased a 17 Platinum CPO'ed with 36,000 miles in August. Did the internet research for Ford Protect. Lombard and Flood were similar. I talked to the finance manager at my dealer (Pocaro Ford in Racine, WI), and she beat the best price by $5 (not a big deal, but my dealer).
I purchased a 7 year, 140,000 Mile with key fob replacement, lighting coverage, and $50 deductible. $1885 plus tax.
Again, this was on a CPO'ed vehicle.

Premium Care for me.

 

[ltharley]

Mine is Premium Care

Just checked for mine....$1600 for a 36,000 mile warranty Would only cover me to 96k. From what I've seen, I shouldn't need any of the warranty service items until over 100k....

I self insure everything except except things that (are required or) could be traumatic to pay or bankrupt me (health insurance, homeowner, umbrella). The logic is that you dont get anything for free ... obviously (like in gambling, the house wins) the insurance company is making money on this. Now ... if you need the peace of mind or if the risk of paying a repair bill is critical to you, do it. They try to sell you an extended warranty on EVERYTHING now, pencils, toasters, tv's...

I'm wondering how many people regret paying for extended warranty, wasnt worth the investment?

I have to admit though, lots of doodads on these vehicles now.

I self insure everything, also, but I'm very tempted just to get this extended warranty. At least I have a little time to think about it before my factory warranty runs out. One thing's for sure; if I do get the extended warranty, I will never have any problems with this Expedition!

Truer statements are rarely spoken!

I got the extended warranty on our Navigator. They specifically mentioned it covering the electronics and shocks and struts.... I tow a trailer from time to time and drive on forest service roads. I also got the 21 way seats and I use the massage feature often, I’m thinking I’ll get a claim outta one of these at least lol
