Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / January 2005Discounted ? Ford ESP Warranties
I'm interested in buying a Ford new car ESP warranty. Does anyone have the name of a dealer or website of a dealer that offers serious discounts on them? Thanks. > I'm interested in buying a Ford new car ESP warranty. Does anyone have > the name of a dealer or website of a dealer that offers serious > discounts on them? > Thanks. On my last 2 ford purchases I have negotiated the discount at the time I purchased the new car. In one case I paid 50% or list for warranty and the other time 60% of list. Given the heavy discount I received I imagine the markup for the dealer is very steep. As far as I know only dealers can sell ESP warrantees. Howard I had the same experience, bargained for the warranty. Although, I have gotten several offers in the mail recently for extended warranties for my vehicles, completely separate from any the dealership offered. One other note, READ it, and be certain that you know what it covers and more specifically, what it DOES NOT cover. I doubt that I will ever buy another, it has been a waste of time and money and went things did go wrong, they were not covered, Ford's Super Duper Premium Plus warranty.. BAH!

No significant hassles. I believe I paid $700 for the mustang and $850 for the Windstar ESP. I wouldn't buy a Ford without an ESP. Howard Based on the repairs you described at the mileages listed, I think the MORE logical conclusion is NOT TO BUY A FORD AT ALL! >> I had the same experience, bargained for the warranty. >> Although, I have gotten several offers in the mail recently for extended [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.807 / Virus Database: 549 - Release Date: 12/7/2004 I find this amazing...I really dont have much of a life but I STILL dont have time to cruise around other boards looking to start trouble!

Unique!!! Whoops... just saw the crosspost stuff- Sorry, Kate... I can't speak for any "snail mail" extended warranty offers but it doesn't seem to matter how I set my email filters..... I am bombarded with extended car waranty offers that, I'm quite sure, aren't worth the paper they're not printed on. I have my own views on extended warrantys..... they can be both colourful and derogatory - yes, at the same time. >I had the same experience, bargained for the warranty. > Although, I have gotten several offers in the mail recently for extended [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > | Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > | Version: 6.0.807 / Virus Database: 549 - Release Date: 12/7/2004 I forgot to mention that the original cross posting 'tard should be whacked, quite smartly, upon the genitals... > I'm interested in buying a Ford new car ESP warranty.

I had ignition timing problems (device that works like a distributor) that failed.Took it in, Ford looked at it (Charged me for that) and decided it was NOT COVERED. I went and bought the part from another dealer, installed it myself (they said I couldn't because it required SPECIAL tools (bullshit). Then when the head gasket let go it DID cover that...I hated that god-damned car....... My 1999 and 2002 Explorers have been bullet-proof, but the Taurus was a piece of sh.t. There are different types of ESP warranties you can purchase. The lower level one may have cost less and not covered as much. I suggest investing the money on the middle one. It covers the same as the first one and the deductible is only 50 dollars as opposed to 100. |
