Same here lol

Normally I would not bother but with the EcoBoost challenge, I got an email saying you are entitled to a $400 6-year/100,000 mile Powertrain plan. For some reason my dealer does not call me back when I told him about this..

I got the 7 year extended warranty and maintenance plan. The maintenance plan took some convincing because my boyfriend and I usually do our own oil changes and basic maintenance but we heard good things by people we know who opted for the maintenance plan and we liked that there should be next to no out of pocket expenses for the next 7 years.

I can't remember off the top of my head but it all depends on the number of years and kms. The prices are probably very different you than it is up here in Canada though... everything is more expensive here. I should be getting my car in the next week or two, so I can let you know when I get all my paperwork if you'd like.

That would be great am thinking in getting that. I would love ford to take care of maintenance while im paying the loan budget is kind of tight atm

Got the 5 year warranty. Was only like $20 a month extra, worth the peace of mind imo

^Doesn't Ford give a 5 year/60K powertrain warranty anyway? That is plenty for me. If the car lasts 5 years with no issues I figure it was built right with good parts and if there are future issues it is my fault. I plan on doing the basic intake/exhaust/tune mod anyway which will void the warranty if they can discover it. I also debated the service plan, but after doing a quick cost analysis it is still cheaper to do it myself and I would rather do it correctly than worry if the new kid with very little experience is cranking my oil filter on with an oil filter wrench or not. Plus I don't trust the dealer to put in synthetic even if I ask for it. I have been in those shops and the two favorite tools of any mechanic is a big pry bar and a sledge hammer.

I've never bought extended warranties on anything. The only person who wins is the dealer selling you one. Yes it possibly could help, but the odds are very much on the dealers side. If it makes you feel better then go for it. I'd suggest banking that money & using it if need be down the road.

Like has been said if you plan to mod don't buy it.

5 year warranty should come standard with car...read the sticker.

Yep as was explained to me at the dealer, that that's the warranty I'd have.

 

[laebshade]

The 5 year warranty only covers the powertrain; the 3 year warranty covers bumper to bumper (minus standard maintenance wear/tear items, like tires, brakes, oil, etc.).

I opted for it. I initially told the dealer finance guy no. Then no again. Then no, no no no no.. he kept coming down "what if it only cost you 30 extra a month? 20? 10?... Eventually, it wound up costing me 1.98 extra a month. And with the reduction in APR he gave me to make the numbers work, i'm paying less in interest over the life of the loan. So, i went for it. Even if i never use it.

 

[Wheelhopper]

For $1.98 I may do it. But it would have to be beyond the 5/60. Most extended warranties I have seen are powertrain warranties. If it is a bumper to bumper that would be even better for that price.
