What do you guys think about keeping the $2,700 warranty? If I gave it back I'd pay less in int and pay the truck off 5 months sooner. If I keep it I have that piece of mind knowing it's there. I do like that it covers the oil changes for 5 years, how much are they usually, $35?
I know the warranties can be a hassle because they'll give you a run around on fixing things sometimes.

I wouldn't have bought it up front. But now that it's in hand, I'd keep it.
Just remember, in any warranty grey-area or dispute you want your dealer on your side advocating for you the customer.
Sounds like they already gave some of the profit from the warranty back to you in form of lower financing.
You got a good deal. Be happy. Enjoy your truck.

There are probably 5 Ford dealerships within 20 minutes of my house. This one is maybe the closest at around 10 miles. I live in a small city in the middle of DFW so my city doesn't actually have any dealerships or big stores.
I thought it was funny how presuring the people were on getting me to be happy so I'd fill out their survey with all perfect marks. The last offer she said the manager was going to get in trouble for offering me that because the rate was too low but if he explained it to be for "customer satisfaction" then it would be ok. The salesman also told me in the morning sales meeting on Monday that someone got yelled at for quoting me the price of the truck that low. I believe the truck was priced pretty low considering 2 other dealerships said there was no way they could match it. All the other, probably yadda yadda because there is money to be made somewhere in there.
I do think it would be funny to cancel the policy and leave then huge in a hole though.

Which Dealers?
I live in the DFW area by the airport and am looking for a 2010 F-150 4x4 SuperCrew 5.4 (also looking at used F-250 Diesels and Lincoln Navigators, but leaning towards a new F-150). Which dealers did you talk to and who gave you the best price? Found a truck I like at Ford Country in Lewisville.
Thanks,
Bill

I bought a Focus at Ford Country in Lewisville once and had a good experience there. What I would do is find your truck on all the dealerships websites and request a quote from them. You might want to set up a new email address to do it because you get tons of emails from them after just getting a quote.
I don't know if you read my whole thing but they dropped my int rate from 8.99% from Ford to 2.99% from Chase if I bought an extended warranty. You have the option to cancel the extended warranty within 30 days per the contract but they can't raise the rate back up on you.
