Extended warranties

I just wanted to plug a company that I've used for extended warranties in case someone here can save some $$$

Contego Direct - Vehicle Service Agreements

I have a couple of their warranties on motorcycles of mine. They are a sub-company of Powerlet.com and are underwritten and reinsured by A+ rated insurance companies. I saved a boatload on the warranty for my 06 BMW R1200GS motorcycle and I priced one for the new F350 and it was significantly less expensive than anyone else (especially Ford)

Give them a call.

Tried to get an after market warranty on my present truck. Everything was ok till I told them I pulled a 5th wheel. They said that the 5th wheel would void my warranty. I then purchased a Ford extended warranty. I was sure to tell the guy I would be pulling a 5th wheel, he said "That's what your truck was made to do."
Be careful, I will get the extended warranty from Ford when my new truck is delivered.

You could have shopped around and found any number of extended warranties that don't have such a ridiculous clause in them. Too bad...you could have saved 50% or more.

Checked out at least 5 companies and all were the same. I have had non OEM extended warranties on other vehicles and have had trouble with all. Never had trouble with OEM warranties...

Do what you want, never again for me....
