I am looking at a 2001 EB with 39K and thus out of warranty...can I purchase a ford extended warranty even after the original warranty is expired?

 

dalfollo,

Unfortunately no you cannot

 

I was just looking into that for my 00 Explorer and if the extended warranty is not purchased within the 3/36000, no joy. But of course you can purchase with 3rd party companies. And they can work just as well.

 

Check the BBB and Consumer's union website for advice on auto warranties. Also consumeraffairs.com They will name those that are ripoffs.

 

When I bought my 00 EB last July, it had 39K on it, and I was able to purchase a Ford extended warranty without a problem. If you're looking at it from a dealer, then I can't see why you couldn't do the same - it's the same circumstance that I purchased mine under. If it's private party, still consider talking to the dealer - here in MA, I've seen the local dealer willing to sell a Ford warranty to me if I brought them the truck that I bought and they "certify" it for a couple hundred bucks. Worth the time/trouble/money if you like the truck but are unsure of the history. My 2-year, 24K warranty from Ford was $750. It has paid for itself with the repairs to the front end already. Good luck!
