Replying to: jteef1 (Nov 08, 2009 11:32 am) As has been said so many times before on these threads, always Always buy the original Manuf warr from the dealer or any dealer online,not a 3rd party crap shoot aftermarket warr. So always buy the Ford manuf warr if you have a Ford.   3rd party warr are all very limited and rip offs.You can buy the Ford ESP at your dealer or any Ford dealer in the US online .

However you made the right choice by going with the Ford Warranty Instead of a 3rd party warranty. I got my 7 yr 100k warranty on my 02 escape back in 2003 for $995.

Replying to: deltheking (Nov 08, 2009 12:18 pm) Thank you for your response. I am glad I found this forum because I have been trying to research extended warranties and I found this forum very helpful. Both dealers I was serious about buying a car from seemed to push the CNA warranties.   But after reading this thread, I am beginning to realize that could have more to do with them making a bigger profit on the initial sales, and a bigger profit on the repairs.   Of course, they promote it as the "better warranty."   I do notice that the online sites vary somewhat on the prices of the warranties. And again, I was puzzled that I was getting quoted a higher price to buy a Ford ESP with zero or a few hundred miles than I was with 6.000 miles or more.   Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to purchase a Ford ESP, or the best time to purchase one?   Thanks!

Replying to: raa1 (Nov 08, 2009 4:40 pm) Yes, it was a 7 year 100 k warranty. That is the kind I want.

Replying to: jteef1 (Nov 08, 2009 5:56 pm) Do a google search for Ford Esp or do a search for Ford Forums. These forums have vendor ads from dealers that sell Ford warr. And most of those forum members buy from that vendor dealer. But a Ford manuf warr is the best to go . No way a 3rd party warr can be better than the manuf warr. They can go bankrupt anytime. And they dont pay any claims.   As to why the warr is cheaper with a car with 6k miles- My guess is that the car has been broken in,it has been driven for a few miles,so probably it has no problems at all. Whereas a new car is not yet driven and as of now it still is relatively unknown. I know it sounds weird and indeed it is, but that`s the best I could come up with.   Also there is a thread in Edmunds forums --Ford ESP online-- I think that`s the best place for your Ford manuf warr.

Replying to: deltheking (Nov 08, 2009 6:22 pm) Thanks. I am getting there. I just retired my 1997 Chevy Lumina (or it retired itself) with 199,000 miles - and I bought that used - so I haven't dealt with extended warranties for a long time.

Hi,   I'm planning to buy a new 2010 honda civic LX and I'm wondering how much would the warranty cost? And for how long?   Thank you.

Replying to: jteef1 (Nov 08, 2009 11:32 am) Don't rely on any deductible reducing scheme unless it is on the contract. Most new car warranty plans expire at a given mileage, so if your car has 6000 miles on it there are 6000 miles gone already off the coverage. ie a 70k warranty on a 6000 mile car is really a 64000 mile program.
