I bought an 8 year/125K ESP.

it has pros and cons

pros:
it could help with a deep pocket repair bill during the normal post warranty period
its supposed to be transferable (for a small fee) so it might help with future resale
I don't drive a lot of miles and doubt I will hit 125K in 8 years so the 8/125 has some appeal

cons
its unlikely that ford will honor the extended , especially for things they can transfer responsibility for (your 10K fuel system bill was not a material defect...its because you did something like buy fuel and too bad for you that our water separator design doesn't work.

you cant do mods that make sense because it would break the warranty. a CP4 bypass mod would probably prevent a fuel system failure so you wouldn't need the ESP but if you do a CP4 mod, you just thru the ESP out the windows. CP4 mod is 300 bucks, max ESP more than 3000. same for oil bypass mod, coolant mod, etc.

Im probally going to trade in my truck in a year or 2 and I doubt that ford will honor the resale value advantage that they pitch when they sell you the ESP.

conclusion:

its not an easy "I did it and feel good about it" situation. dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.

I mainly did it because the dealer that took my trade gave me 10,500 more than anyone else so I figured I bought the ESP with free money.


my recommendation would be not to buy and ESP and just throw the truck over the fence after the warranty expires and trade it back into ford. The 3500 max ESP money would make a good loan down payment.

 

I recently got an email from the dealership that I bought my truck from a little over a month and a half ago, offering the extended Ford ESP to me. They wanted $3300 for the 7 year/140k mike warranty. That would extend me out another 3 years/60k. I’m currently sitting at 80k miles on my bone stock ‘15 F-250 Platinum Powerstroke. I checked with Ziegler Ford and got quoted $2025 for the exact same warranty. I’m still riding on the 12 month/12k CPO warranty, and the Ford 100k mile engine warranty. I plan on trading this truck in on a new ‘19 F-250 in the next 6 months or so. I only paid 41k for my truck. Just curious as to whether or not I would recoup that money when I sold/traded it in. I know it would be an easier private sell if I had the Ford ESP still alive and well on it. Below is the plan that they offered me. That’s one helluva markup!

 

I couldn’t get a quote from Flood Ford, as it said it couldn’t be warranted except from your dealer because it had over 41k miles. Here’s the list from Ziegler though. I drive less than 12k per year, so I would really only need the 7 year/125k plan. If that coupon is still valid...that’s only $1645 total for an additional 3 years/45k miles. Subtract my remaining CPO warranty from that though. 10 1/2 months/9k miles. I’ll have to look at it again if I start getting close to the end of my warranty and haven’t traded it/sold it for a new ‘19 Platinum.

 

I bought a 19 F450 Limited with all kinds of electrons operating things I don’t trust to last. I drive 12-14,000 miles per year and expect to keep the truck for 8 years.

The dealer has had quoted me $2050 for ESP but I don’t know exactly which plan. I have a meeting with them next week. Of course I live in FL but bought the truck up north. I’m not sure they are aware of FL restrictions. But maybe that’s to my advantage? Is there a guide that details all options on ESP as well as pricing? If I’m going to buy it, I want to be able to evaluate coverage and options and pricing for the duration.
