fordfever Report post Posted February 10, 2010 I just received and signed for my FFH today. Ice Blue 502A. The loan officer was offering the ESP for $2100, but I knew from reading the other topics on this site that I could get them cheaper online. The loan guy said that the ESP had to purchased at that time and would not be available afterwards without doing a full car inspection ($300). Is this true? I was going to purchase it at myfordwarranty.com later, but he got me spooked by saying I would not be able to. Is he full of it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgive my language, but i'm raising the ultimate bullshit flag on your dealer. A good site that some of us have gone to is http://www.buy-ford-warranty.com. Some people here have bought from this site and have had no problem and you might be able to do a search and dig up these older threads. You can go to the dealer's service department after a week or so and they will be able to verify that the ESP has been entered into Ford's system. They will not need to do a full inspection of your car, as that is not how the ESP works. Ford charges different prices depending on how many miles you have at the time of purchase. The limitation is that you much purchase before 36000 miles, or at least that is how it has worked in the past. Between 0-12000 miles, you are charged a rate. Between 12000-24000 miles, the rate goes up a bit, and between 240000-36000 miles, the rate goes up a lot. In my case, I took the price off of that website, and had my dealer match it. When my dad bought his Fusion last week, I did the same as my dealer matched the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I waited until a couple of months passed. My dealer gave me a ridiculous price too. I've used http://www.fordwarrantys.com/ and got a 100,000mile/84month Premium plan with $50 deductible for $1295. I checked with Ford directly and they said they're legit. Did it over the internet and relatively painless.

I've never kept a car more then 3 years but maybe the Hybrid I will and the warranty is transferable. I've been eying a 6 year, 60k for $590 with a $50 delectable. Or $720 with no delectable. This is for the PremiumCare. Edited February 11, 2010 by Howie411 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is for the PremiumCare. On our 95 Explorer I did a Ford ESP. On our 05 Escape did an premium warranty through the Credit Union. Biggest mistake I ever made. Cost was about the same but where Ford replaces the parts, no questions asked, the one from the Credit Union argues over the claim. Plus I has to lay out the money and wait for a check. With the Ford ESP, you just pay your deductible. My FFH I went with Ford ESP. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
