Depends on how you feel about warranty’s. If you like having a warranty then yes. This is a good plan (the premium plan with the add ons) that covers you well. Kinda depends on how long you’re going to keep the vehicle IMO.
I always keep vehicles for over 10 years. Is the premium plan that much better than the extra care? I know more is covered but I’m more concerned with engine, transmission, turbos. I’ve had a transmission go out in a ford and my wife’s last expedition had to get the engine replaced because it messed up. Doesn’t the extra care plan cover what I’m looking at? I don’t mind changing lights out or working on my vehicles but changing out and engine or transmission is to much for me to do. Thanks.

I usually keep my vehicles for 10plus years. I just want the big things covered like engine, transmission, turbos, etc. I don’t mind working on my vehicles doing small couple hundred dollar things but big stuff I can’t do myself. I’ve had a transmission go out before and my wife’s engine had to get replaced in her last expedition($6500 at a mom and pops shop). I’ve looked at the premium plan and extrand compared the two but the extra covers what I’m thinking about going wrong.

I would add - that if you sell the vehicle, the plan can be transferred or sold with the vehicle, or you can cancel the plan and receive a prorated refund.

Premium care is the best ESP plan. Go to flood ford and look at the plans. Everything is well laid out. I don’t know the ins and out and wouldn’t want to give you a wrong answer.

Thanks. I wonder what that looks like IRL. I may chat with them to dig in a bit.

@carymccarr what do you mean "what it looks like in real life"? the links are there and the state specific rules are linked there too. These contracts have been transferable/cancelable for many many years...

I dont think its unreasonable for someone to charge a small fee to execute some change or paperwork...and pro-rating the unused portion (while I dont like it) is necessary for the business to stay alive and minimize financial ruin/risk.

What I mean is what does ‘time and mileage’ mean.

Assuming it’s just time based...if you buy a plan when you get your car and get a 6 year plan for $1500 then cancel at the end of year 5 you’ll get $240 back after, effectively, one year of coverage.

The plans aren’t really ‘6 years’ or whatever. My navigator has a 4 year bumper to bumper and a 6 year powertrain. The ESP would only be effective in year 7 and beyond but I’d have to buy a 7+ year ESP for that to happen.
