dr00x Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Hello, I am contemplating buying extended warranty for my '11 Edge AWD Limited which I will take delivery in a few days. I have 2 main issues I would like to ask for feedback on the subj., especially since it would the first time I would buy an extended warranty. Usually I don't believe in extended warranties but this is a vehicle full of electronics... and also recently my father-in-law plasma broke right after the 2-year warranty expired.:o 1. The first really important point is the price. From my research in Canada the Ford ESP price is incredibly higher compared with US. I was quoted $3850 cad - for 7yrs/150k kms Premium Care - with $100 deductible I believe - I hope tax in I found only one online dealer that offered the same for 3200-3500 depending on the deductible so basically no improvement. From what I read such an US ESP goes for less than 2k - actually $1500-$1800. I was wondering what pricing experience did you guys have with Ford ESP, especially in Canada. The best price I found mentioned for Ford ESP in Canada was for an F-150, the guy mentioned he paid $1920 cad for a 31k vehicle. 2. The second important point is if it's worth to buy one and if worth to buy now. I am looking to keep the car around 5 years, ideally 7. I am also aware that lots of things change during 5-7 years. I could buy now or within a year, then as far as I know the price increases after each year. Or I could decide to buy before the factory warranty expires depending on the kms at the time and # of 'incidents' . Does anybody know the pricing levels depending on the moment the extended warranty is bought? Edited November 4, 2010 by dr00x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I was able to knock the dealer down almost $700 for a 7 year plan. It is still expensive as Hell. At least this way I can roll it into the payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Extended warranty??? I've never made it to the end of the factory warranty!! The way the tech is now, there is always a cooler car beckoning me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisha07.07.07 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi, I got a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty at $1500 after a $500 reduction for Z plan. Which is really ony 2 years as you get 3 with the vehicle right? However, it was after this I found out that you can shop your warranty at other dealers etc. :-( Oh well, I just hope I never need it! Good luck with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greener Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Can you buy a factory warranty in the US for a Canadian bought Edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl-z Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Can you buy a factory warranty in the US for a Canadian bought Edge? That is a very good question. Certainly a Ford warranty is valid in both countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
