warranty question...

Heidi5869

I keep seeing post's from a Zach at Granger Ford about his warranties and just wondering, if it's legit.. I going into my dealership on Mon to get my Bronco. I definitely want an extended warranty, I just don't trust the dealership I'm dealing with. They tried to screw me before... Any help is greatly appreciated.

From everything I've seen from him, it's the Ford ESP plan. Can use at any Ford Dealership. Seems legit to me. It's the same as the 3 other dealers you'll find online selling the same warranty, but for a couple hundred dollars more. Also the same that local dealers sell for 2-3 times that amount. If I decide to get the extended warranty I'll most likely go through Granger.

This is true, the dealer had it listed in the brochure for over $5,000! My dealer knocked off $1,500 which brought it down to $3,705 but I just priced the same plan 8/100,000 - $100 deductible through Granger and it was $1640! Needless to say, I'm going to buy it through Granger.

Been your route and NEVER buy from a dealer, buy directly from Ford at Ford Protect. Way better prices for way better coverage and when you sell or trade your call a refund in 5 days. I can't stress this enough. i.e. we pai the dealer $4000 for a 72/72000 and Ford Direct $4020 for a 96/150,000 Call Steve at 313-957-5213 or play with it at | Ford Protect Extended Service Plans

For anyone interested...

I've been looking into this. No reason to hurry, really... I've got 3yr/36k to make up my mind and I'm not even one month in yet. 😄 But experience with our Explorer (trans issues at 40k miles) tells me it's wise nowadays. An ext. warranty also saved our bacon on a previously-owned Honda Odyssey.

Anyhow, I've noticed Flood Ford (https://www.floodfordesp.com/) sells up to 10 year warranties with $0-200 deductibles. Meanwhile, Granger only seems to go to 8 years, for reasons unknown. I found Flood Ford to be slightly cheaper than Granger, averaging about $60-80 on comparative plans.

Meanwhile, direct from Ford (https://fordprotect.ford.com/premiumcare) is definitely NOT cheaper. On a 10yr/100k warranty with $50 deductible, they were $1480 more expensive! On the whole, direct from Ford is nearly $1400-1500 more. That's a LOT! They DID offer up to 10 years, though.

These are all Ford ESP plans. I don't understand why Granger stops at 8 years, but I think at certain levels (like with a $50/deductible) they can definitely be worth it.

The difference in deductibles ($0/$50/$100/$200) generally seems to add about $200 to the overall plan at each level.

If anyone knows of any other "Players" on this field (online reduced-cost sales of Ford ESP warranties), please let me know!
