Aftermarket Warranty Companies are only as good as the paper they are printed on.
Just set aside a some money each month in a savings account. Most of those companies are true scam artists....or the list of things that are excluded from coverage is ridiculous.
and if you do somehow get them to "honor" or cover a repair, good luck getting it paid for. Most Ford Dealerships hold your vehicle hostage until the bill is repaired. I had it happen to me for almost 2 weeks once

I've never heard of a reputable aftermarket warranty company. They are the biggest scam going. Anyway, an extended warranty is not a warranty at all. It is simply breakdown insurance at a very expensive rate. If you put the money the coverage would cost in the bank, the odds of spending the money on repairs is remote.

I purchased top tier plan from Intercontinental (I think) through my credit union. Saved me significant $$ compared to what Ford tried to sell me. I have used them at least once at Ford Dealer with no problem, however, it is true that the dealer will hold it hostage until the warranty payment is received. If you can have the discipline to save up some cash on the side for unexpected repairs, I think you are way better off.
