[QUOTE="Gringo185, post: 16595184, member: 42351"] I was a service advisor for a couple of years and yes, if you plan on keeping your vehicle past the base and powertrain warranties, the ESP plans can be very useful. A couple of recommendations: 1) Always go first party. The Ford ESP is significantly more convenient for both you and the dealership. 3rd party companies often cover less and want extra verification/proof before they authorize a claim. 2) Ford’s Wheel and Tire Protection Plan is one of the best values in the auto industry. It cannot be purchased after the fact. Only at the time of vehicle purchase. But it covers pretty much anything outside of normal wear and tear. It even covers aftermarket wheels and tires up to a certain size (28” maybe?). If the puncture is patchable, repair is covered. If not, replacement is covered. I got 7 years of coverage for roughly $700 IIRC. And it’s refundable (prorated of course) if you decide not to keep the vehicle longer than the contract. I’ll never buy a vehicle from a Ford dealership without it. [/QUOTE]
