[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16235157, member: 83412"] One of the first things I mentioned to Nick was that I was considering the extended Ford warranty mainly due to the engine and DCT. There's 40K+ (retail) in those two items alone. Shocked it is then as that's what it costs, trans alone. And I can see units getting shipped back to Tremec in Wixom as opposed to Wilbur taking a crack at it at your local dealer. If units fail, at least early on, I'd imagine all new ones will be installed for quite some time. I just had a conversation regarding Ford's actual costs with respect to Tier suppliers with an engineer that worked on this car among other jobs with various other manufacturers. He said the rough, general fraction that is used is 1/6th the retail price and then suggested for sake of argument to consider 1/5th. This is sans certain ancillaries but it shows how much markup or margin there may be. [/QUOTE]
