My cobra's warranty period is nearing its end...36 months will expire in July. In the last month i've had the dealership perform warranty service on the clutch cable, the front suspension, replacing the rear axle/cv joint and 3rd tail light lens, all of which would have eaten over 800 it total if done out of pocket. The car is a daily driver, and only lightly modded compared to most here. Intake, shifter, with a catback to come in the near future. I don't plan on doing the pulleys or tune in the near future.
Is it worth it to buy the extended warranty available through ford? I've never been a warranty type person, either doing minor maintenance myself or taking cars to a trusted shop, but this car seems to have alot of little things going wrong considering it only has 28k on it. But then again, i've never bought a car for myself with less than 30k on it. (wife has gotten 2)
What options are available from ford, length (mileage) of warranty and cost of warranty, I figure some of you have paid for one and would know more than requiring a trip to ford to talk to the business manager. I plan on keeping the cobra at least another 2 to 3 years minimum, and maybe considerably longer after that - my cars tend to average 9 years of active duty before i move to the next one. If the shelby's had sold at book value I probably would have got one of those, but i'm not spending that much extra for a newer car.
Thanks,
