Almost ready to buy my new F150.

Need some advice on extended warranty.

Ford's premium ESP for 7yr / 60K miles comes out to $1770 w/$100 deductible.

Should I buy now, or wait until the warranty expires? Adding "15000 miles" to the starting mileage adds about $100 to the price.

Any advantages to having the ESP during the regular factory warranty period?

Thanks.

 

don't think there is a REAL advantage to running ESP and factory warranty concurrently but buying the ESP now may give you more opportunity to negotiate the price. I put quite a few miles on in my job so I wanted the 5 yr/100,000 mi option. They were offering this @ approx $2200 but I was able to get it and the LoJack for $2300.

 

ESP pays for a loaner car if yours is in overnight for repairs. If your dealer doesn't have loaners (or they're booked 3 weeks in advance), I think that's an advantage.

 

aaaaaa-HA!!!!
good point MarkII - I forgot about that one
