My 2015 was the 'new redesigned' F150. The kid doing the financing fell off his seat when I said I'll take it. And before I left he actually said 'with the price you got on your truck, I'm still shocked you bought the Extended warranty'. I've bought many many new F150's. This is the first extended warrantee I've bought. My truck will be one yr old in August. My only issue has been the door locks in cold weather.

Exclamation

Call Bob Cline directly and you can get a bigger discount than that! Just mention the F150 forum!




OOPS! Didn't see that you want to do the financing deal. If you pay in FULL you can get a $225 discount, BUT you can't have financing and that discount.

It's the genuine Ford warranty, you choose the years/miles, pay 10% down, and make 12 payments with 0% interest.

Plus a $75 discount with promo code GREGH

Head over to www.floodfordesp.com and run the numbers. I bet it'll surprise you. 60km is only 37282.27 miles. Your truck base PT warranty should be close to double that and it only gives you an extra 11000 miles for the BTB. Then again I don't know how Ford Canada works.

We purchased ours at Lombard Ford online, they and Flood were same price, 1900 vs 2900 from my local dealer. It does take our Lincoln to 140k miles which blows my mind that they will cover them that long.

Extended warranties are never a good idea on any product. Companies pay teams of researchers to put these offers together. They are designed to maximize profits and minimize risks for the company. why do you think they try to pressure you into it at the stealership? They make huge profits off of it.

When you pay their large price, yes. But some do not. Hence why we promote shopping online for them and saving money. There are people who have attested to their value.

When I worked as a dealer tech (11yrs) I lost count how many times a customers extended warranty saved them thousands$$$$$ for one repair.

I've had two 3.5L EcoBoost engines replaced under a $1200 extended warranty. I imagine those two engines cost a bit more than my warranty.

Probably around $5 grand each not counting labor.
