Extended Warranty
I am thinking of buying an extended warranty for my '05 and want to
hear the group's recommendations on where to buy. Is the Ford dealer the best bet or are there other options I should consider. |

Extended Warranty
when I purchased my 2000, the dealer offered an policy by Interstate, which
was less expensive than Ford. I have had about 3-4 claims that have always been paid. "Big Shoe" > wrote in message ...

I purchased an '05 XLT and the dealer quoted me $1800 for a 75K mile extended
warranty. I passed and ended up buying a 100K mile extended warranty from DirectWarranty.com for about $1100.

Had one large claim, $800, which they paid without any problems. The $300 I lost was worth the peace of mind for the 7 years. |

Do an internet search for "Ford ESP". You will find many websites that list
the std Ford ESP policies and prices. The one I used some time ago was fordesp.com. I took the prices from that website to the dealership when I purchased my F150 and they gave me the warranty no questions asked. If I recall the web prices are half what a stealership normally sell them at.

Yep, purchased my ESP on the web for my Explorer. I'm in Wisconsin and
the online Ford dealer I purchased from was somewhere in Texas. Same warranty, half the cost my local dealer quoted. If memory serves I was also able to pay it in two, or three, installments. If you decide to go with an aftermarket plan consider purchasing it from a local dealer. Be careful, do your homework, and check with a few local dealers concerning which plans pay and which ones don't. Some plans are a nightmare to get reimbursement. I did have a decent aftermarket plan on a '94 Mustang, but I purchased it through a local Ford dealer, who even waived the deductible when serviced with them.

I would recommend the dealer, their warrinties are usually better and cover
more parts, and your vehicle will always be serviced by a ford dealer with ford trained and certified technicians |

Thanks for all the feedback. I priced the extended warranty at the
dealer and through some internet companies. The cost was so high that I decided to go without a warranty. Unless I am terribly unlucky, I doubt I will spend the amount of the warranty cost on repairs.
