I also purchased an extended warranty seven years hundred thousand mile zero deductible.
This was from the Ford dealership a third-party extended warranty and the dealership I bought from was in Delaware and where it serviced in a dealership in New Jersey. The dealership in New Jersey advised they've used it before and compared to Ford's ESP plan. If I don't use it I get all my money back $1500. The security blanket of knowing that you're covered for that timeframe is something that I think is important but many others just go with the factory warranty I think a lot of people don't hold onto their vehicles as long as I do 10 to 15 years.

Just bought mine yesterday. PremiumCare 7/125k w/ $100 deductible from Zeigler thanks to the GREGH discount - love this forum!
Compared prices at Zeigler, Flood, Anderson & Koch, and Lombard and for the plan I wanted, Zeigler was the cheapest by about $20 compared to Flood (Anderson & Lombard were both higher). For the cost, it was an easy decision.

Did any of your previous vehicles have in excess of 16 on board computer modules? Any one of them can cost upwards of $1,500 and is only covered under base 3/36 warranty with exception of the PCM, that falls under the 80k mile emission warranty.
Every thing on the right in BLUE is a computer module in my XLT, higher end models such as Platinum, Harley, Raptor, Limited,.. have even MORE modules.
Peace of mind considering the multiplexed network on wheels we drive these days, it's foolish to NOT get an ESP.

Thank Bob Cline at Zeigler. He decided to extend the GREGH/$225 off into the new year. I got the $50 ded, so it made it a little cheaper.

Would you also call buying insurance "throwing money away"? Because that is what an ESP boils down to, insurance against mechanical and electrical/electronic failure.

Agreed.
A friend of mine had the nav on his Honda odyssey die after 5.5 years. He had the extended B2B from them. The cost of replacing the Nav was way more more than he paid for the warranty. For me I have never owned a vehicle with so many "gadgets". Believe me I am a gadget guy too, but I have been too scared to get a vehicle with gadgets until now. I got the ESP too. so it buys me some insurance. Got it from Ziegler Ford too with the code.

My view on ESP's may be a little skewed as a result of being a Ford tech for many years, as I have personally seen hundreds of vehicles where having the extra warranty would have paid for itself on that 1 visit to the dealer.
