? regarding Ford ( and other) warrantys
I have a 2005 Expedition ( I know, its not an Explorer..but this group
has been helpful to me anyhow)..It has just over 34,000 miles on it. So far a front end part had to be replaced, and then the entire gas tank had to be replaced ( it wouldn't accept gas without kicking out the gas pumps..any gas pump! ). Since the factory warranty runs out soon, I've debated getting an extended warranty ( for the first time in my life). Any help, comments or suggestions? Any ideas as to prices, ? What about NAPA's extended warranty that I have seen advertised? Should I stay with ONLY the actual FORD company warranty? ...or maybe I should just chance it??. I rarely have my oil changed at a dealership. I change oil, etc. at 4,000 miles typically, but I haven't kept any "proof sheets" as we travel and the change might have been done in any of three different states. I normally drive about 30M per year and trade any vehicle in around 100m. Your help and advice is welcomed.. RichG TX/IL |

? regarding Ford ( and other) warrantys
Just so you know dealing with a non ford extended warrant is a real pain.
even if it reads that something is covered the service writer has to call it in and then the haggling begins, usually over the labor charge they always don't want to pay something and if it's enough the writer will just call you and say, ok your warranty company will only pay this and we can't do it for less than this because the technition actually has to diagnose the concern and they only want to pay for the part replacement. so this just makes everbody really bubbly and nice and sweaty. cover your ass and shop around there's no set price to anything in the USA call around to get an idea so they don't know your face and then go in and be ready to firm but relaxed like hey I don't real need the extended warranty cause i'm rich but if I don't have to get screwed into the ground I just might concider it and get up like your leaving.

? regarding Ford ( and other) warrantys
when I purchased my 2000 Explorer, the dealer recommended a non Ford
warranty, which I purchased. I have had only a couple of claims, but the company paid OK. But the dealer who repaired my car (not the one I purchased from) was highly skeptical of non-Ford extended warranties. if I had to do it again, I would probably go with Ford, even at a higher price. However, you can probably check with dealer about some of the warranty companies. Or research on the net. "RichG TX" > wrote in message ups.com...

? regarding Ford ( and other) warrantys
Do some internet searching for "Ford ESP". Quite a few ford dealerships
sell the warranties considerably cheaper than just walking in the dealership. I had this info in hand when I purchased my truck from a local stealership and they gave me my price no questions asked. I have also sold back a portion of an unused Ford ESP at a dealership in ST. Louis, can't think of the name now and I live in OKC, over the internet.
