Warranty Stretched by ANT14

Starting 2007, powertrain warranties for Ford/Mercury's will be stretched to 5 years, 60K miles, and 6 years, 70K miles for Lincoln.
 
I've been at pushing this for years if some of you have remembered from earlier posts.

Good move by Ford, though in my experience with both my 1990 Taurus and my 2000 Taurus, I didn't have a bit of power train problems in the first 60K or 5 years anyways. In fact none on the 1990 Taurus when I sold it at ten years and 98K miles and the 2000 is going good at 58K so far.
 
This 5/60 warranty will give some peace of mind to some potential consumers, however.

It will also have the sport pkg...which seems like a huge bargain. Also, I just learned powertrain warranties are increasing with the '07s...this is annoying, Ford! Make it retroactive to '06!!

The extended warranties for the 07's is figured into the price. If you want a longer warranty for you 06, you can buy one....at any Ford dealer...
 
If you haven't bought that 06 yet, the warranty is quietly being offered on 06's in stock...or that's my understanding, any way...

Thanks for the tip...I'll push for it when we pick it up Tuesday. Do you have info in print or on the web somewhere about extending the warranty for 06's? The papers are all signed, but no money has exchanged hands. I also learned that side air bags will be standard in 07, and some of the optional sport pkg equip (the radio upgrade) will be standard on 07 se's. I also read somewhere that the sticker price will only increase about $300-$400. I'm not interested in the extended warranty...even though I tend to drive the wheels off my car before giving them up (but I'd love to drive new every 2-3 years...)

Ford's recent extending of warranty coverage makes clear it has faith in these vehicles:

Yes! I can't believe that no one is making a big deal out of this either. All we ever heard on these threads is how Ford should step up their warranty if they think they stepped up the quality. Well, here it is. Who's ready to buy now?

A five-year powertrain warranty is no big deal IMO. Now if Ford were to really step up, maybe offer a 5 year comprehensive warranty and a 10-year powertrain warranty--that would be a Big Deal.

I agree that the new warranty itself isn't a big deal because other makes offer the same thing and have for some time now. But I do think it's a big deal that Ford is now offering it. That says a lot about their new lineup IMO.
