Discounted ? 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.

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.

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!

I normally don't argue with my elders, but in my case the ESP paid for
itself quickly. on our 2000 Exp Sport we had an AC Compressor die and the
power steering pump die. I vote for the purchase.

In my case the Ford ESP paid for a new AC system (at 10K) and new paint job
(at 4 years) on the 89 Mustang and a new transmission (at 35K) and new
engine (at 61K) on the 95 Windstar. 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.

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 was just outlining the usefulness of the Ford ESP warranty. I love the
mustang and the windstar. The mustang now has 100K and the Windstar 200K.
Both run fine. The total cost of ownership has been less than any other cars
I have owned. If I hadn't had the Ford ESP plan I imagine I would be less
than happy. With the ESP the ford product was still thousands less than a
comperable Toyota. Here in California sales tax and 1st year registration on
a new $25,000 car is more than the cost of a new engine or paint job on an
old car. I just keep them running.

DON'T waste your money. I had one on a 1996 Taurus GL and it didnt cover
much. 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 (bull****).
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 ****.

Hey, they're cars... **** happens.
You cannot possiblly think that they are going to stay showroom new
forever..
