I received an information letter from Ford Protect with offer for the Extended Service Plan on my 2016 F150 4x4. Anyone recommend the factory solicitation or have found better options and share ... much appreciated.
I passed at the dealer as the price was astronomical to say the least.

 

You may want to review the many posts on this subject. Online dealers like Flood Ford and Ziegler Ford which will beat any regular dealer prices. All are "house wins", meaning that it's unlikely that you will incur repair costs that exceed the cost of the policy.

Here are 2, of over 8,000.

I'm stunned, like knock me down, with the reasonable cost of a plan fro Flood Ford.

 

On the flip side, you could be stunned your dealership is trying to take you for $2K...

Ok, now the people can rant about dealerships need to make money too and that's why they sell the same product flood sells for $600, for $3K.

 

That's a damn fine deal from FloodFord

 

Great advice, those 2 seem to be the lowest price on-line competitors.

Four days ago I priced a plan for my wife's new Edge. I priced Flood Ford and Zeigler on-line, and then called Zeigler. Talked to a guy named Frank, told him what Flood was asking, and if he could do better.

He knocked off $45 off a $1,090 Flood quote, so I bought it. Not much off, but it only cost me a phone call.

You get the best price if you can pay it immediately with a charge card.

 

This is an outstanding point. Here is my story, quickly.

I bought a used (only had 4300 miles on it ) 08 Fusion in 2010. Dealer gave me what I thought was a fair price on on a bumper-to-bumper extended warranty. I initially said no, but my wife thought I should consider it especially since they threw in a maintenance package. So it extended the warranty for 6 years, 79,000 miles (remember new car warranty had less than a year to go), plus all oil changes up to the warranty mileage ($300 value) all for $1000.

I took it.

During warranty period had a passenger window failure required a new track. $250 repair (minus $100 deductible).

Here is the math: $1000 -$300 maintenance leaves $700. Minus $250 repair + $100 deductible = $550.

I lost out at the rate of $550.

Warranties are rarely worth it.

 

99.9% of the time I'll agree with this, but there is that small fraction of something bad going south. A buddy bought a 10 F250 in 2012 that had 75k miles, but bought an extended warranty up to 100k. Well at 98k his HPFP grenaded and it cost way more than the warranty and it was covered
