I was wondering, what does everyone here think of an extended warranty.

Help With extended warranty
- Thread starter Strungoutt

IF you are gonna keep your car stock and you like the peace of mind then go ahead it'll make you feel more comfortable, but if you plan to mod your car and want to save some $$ then pass it up and have fun with your snake. :thumbsup:
I agree. I wouldn't do it if you plan on doing more than just an exhaust change. I know many include an intake and shifter, but once you're over 36K I would read the terms of the extended warrantee real well before laying down your money. It sounds to me like peace of mind is important to you. So the real question will be whether or not you think you CAN keep it stock and enjoy it over the years. I tried it. And last just under 2 months. And once I started modding I couldn't stop. It was too much fun. But alas, that's all history because someone else is now responsible for modding it. LOL!
If you do get one, make sure it's from Ford. The others are damn near a rip off.
If the Factory waranty is already expired you can not get the Ford extended warranty (Ford EXP) You have to purchase it before the factory warranty expires. I just bought mine 2 days prior to mine expiring
Lots of good points already mentioned...
1. If you're planning on big HP mods (pulley/tune/etc.) then forget about it.
2. If you're going to remain 98% stock, definitely consider it.
3. If you do get one, only get it from Ford and not a third party company.
4. You can only get a Ford warranty BEFORE your existing warranty expires!
Get a warranty quote here: http://www.fordwarrantys.com/ Be sure to fill out your name and email address and they will send you a code for $180 off of their current pricing. With the discount, you can extend your factory warranty from 3 years/36,000 miles to 7 years/75,000 miles (with a $100 deductible) for about $1300. That's worth considering in my book.
The way I see it, a single head replacement would pay for the warranty by itself.

That's a good question now that I've looked at his mods. What would concern me with an extended warrantee is that 2.93 upper and the tune. Seems to be a bit chancy if the mods are removed for a warrantee claim. Sharkattack, can you pipe in? What's your thinking on this?

What mods? You talking about my sig? Thats a dream sheet ;-)
I was so close to going over the 36,000 that i had to make a quick decision before that option was no longer available. Thanks for the replies, this car puts a smile on my face everytime i drive it :bowdown:

Yeah, the dream mods. Both I and your dealer know that you'd never toss on that 2.93 pulley, to start. :burnout:sharkattack said:

Hmmm...I bought one for my wife's old Expedition after the factory warranty was gone. Used it to replace a cylinder head that spit a plug.
