is my first new car ever, so I have never even had the option of an extended
warranty. I would love to hear other's feedback to see if you think it is worth
the expense. 0% financing makes it $86/mo. + $163 down.

If you search a little you can find prices much lower than that. For example,
one place lists a 7yr/100K PremiumCARE with no deductible for $1635. The 7yr/75K
is $1385 from the same place. Try googling Ford premiumcare and see what you
find..........

What are the chances of something breaking during the next 4 years that will cost you $1630? Can you afford $86 per month? This is the gamble. They're betting...

I think I got the same letter, and I have some concerns that would have to be ironed out before I purchased such coverage. My letter lists specific items that...

Sue, All insurance is like that. I assume that if you have medical insurance you don't feel as though you are being "scammed", but in fact you are paying for ...

Robyn, There are only 3 parts covered under Ford's CA extended warranty. The electric generator motor, the transmission, and the traction battery. In...

Hi Robin, Having gone without medical insurance for five years, I understand fully how it works. I use the term "scammed" because that's just how I felt. It's...

I say no. Altho I just bought one for my '06 Jaguar, my 07 Mariner just purrs along. Some folks say "put the monthly payment in your savings account and...

Thanks everyone for the advise. I think I am going to take a wait and see approach. I still have a year left on my standard warranty so I'll hold off and see...

Ford sent me one on my 07 FEH can't remember the site, but it was 7/100,000 for around 1400. Don't think it was the premium, but it let me customize it and I...
