Yeah I think this warranty along with great new cars would definitely get allot of people off the fence and into Ford/Mercury/Lincoln showroom in a hurry. I think that this is the biggest news of the automotive year so far. Oh and you should hear how quite the import fans are. The import fans have nothing and I do mean nothing to say. You could hear a pin drop in the Forum.

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Jul 18, 2006 12:15 pm) I agree is is a good move for Ford. But let's not make more of it than it is. Ford's marketeers are doing a good enough job of that on their own.  And before you talk about "toeholds", I suggest you look at the sales for a few companies, such as Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai/Kia. Also, if Ford builds good products, their powertrain warranty costs shouldn't be very large, should they? |

Replying to: akirby (Jul 18, 2006 12:17 pm) Personally I'd take the four years of free maintenance that BMW offers vs. one more year and 10k more miles of powertrain warranty. Also, I don't see how Ford's 5 year, 60k mile powertrain warranty is better than that from the likes of Honda or Toyota. It seems to me the only major advantage Ford's new program has over companies like that is the free roadside assistance. Which is a nice benefit, but it isn't actually a warranty on the car. It helps you when the car breaks down, however.

Replying to: backy (Jul 18, 2006 11:41 am) Yeah, I had to laugh when I read that. The power train warranty is a nice extra. Giving a longer warranty is typically something that has been done when buyers do not trust the product...eg. Hyundai and before that it was Chyrsler with the 7 yr/70,000 mile power train warranty. I would like it if there were an option for fewer miles and more years on all these warranties, though. Since I only drive maybe 8000 miles per year, 5 years is only be about 40,000 miles for me. Is it just coincidence that mazda is changing from their 4 year bumper-to-bumper warranty to this same warranty structure? |
