p.s., I think I know where you went

 

[MikeFreas]

I just got back from a 5900 mile trip with the Ex and have not have been on the forum for awhile. I need to purchase and extended warrenty at a reasonable price. I know this discussion was posted before but I am unable to find the contact information.

I sure would appreciate a contact name and number, looking for the 100,000 mile warrenty. Thanks for all your help.

Zeigler Ford is the best price you will find. Google their dealership and you can find an on-line quote and pay right there. My quote for my yet to be build 12 Limited is 1030.00 for 7 yr 100k with 100 dollar deductable.

 

[Spengracin]

Do you think the dealer you purchased your vehicle from will match it?

 

[MikeFreas]

My dealer said they couldn't come close and wanted about 1k more (all profit) for less coverage. I'm not sure how Zeigler does it but it seems they are selling them at cost. Thing like this are cash cows for dealers.

 

[harlenm]

I paid $800 for a 5 yr 75k warranty, with a $100 deductible from my dealer.

Now is that for the best warranty? The one that covers the electronics like MFT and Sync?

Yup. Preimum care.

While Ford Canada apparently discourages customers from purchasing in the US, I took a look at the extended warranty and after a reasonably careful read (I'd have to read it again) see nothing that stops me from using it if I buy it; just have to use an initial US address.

Need to source the maintenance too if someone has a good source. I didn't see it on Ziegler's site.

Not in Canada Eh!

I'd be careful. I think your wrong on this one.

I will be careful, but if the contract I read online here is the one that I'll end up with (again subject to further review), I note that there is nothing that appears to exclude Canadians, and paragraphs 7(o) to (q) seem to specifically include Canada.

The issue will be more if they sell it to me, but my company has a US PO address to start things if need be, and the fact that arbitration takes place in the US, if required.

Umm, its called National Service Contract Application. It says all States except Florida in big letters at the top. It repeatedly refers to states. I only read it for 30 seconds, but I think its very clear this would not apply to you in Canada, but its your money.

I'm not going to disagree that the agreement was written from a US perspective, but "State" can mean a national body. Beyond that I can certainly sign a contract in the United States with my US mail drop address.

While I acknowledge repeatedly refers to States, nothing precludes Canada or Canadians (my primary concern), and that makes sense given cars move around.

I can always give Ford Canada an opportunity to meet the pricing, or explain to me how it is that I can't sign a contract in the US that covers a car in Canada.

Anyway - that is my line of thought at the moment.

I got one included in my GEICO insurance policy...I believe it is 7 years and 100000 miles, I don't think there is a deductible. I bought brand new and first owner and they ask me if I wanted mechanical breakdown insurance included and I said yes please. Beats that 1g to 3g from dealers. Anyone else got one of these?

I just looked at the details $47 a year and a 250 deductible. Does that sound good? So $329 for 7 years, that doesn't sound bad at all actually.

"Multi-Risk is a package of coverages that includes Comprehensive, Collision and Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI). MBI coverage protects you from expensive auto repair bills when your car experiences a mechanical failure. MBI is usually much more affordable than the Extended Warranty offered by your car dealership and in some instances offers more protection.

Varying deductibles are available for the Comprehensive and Collision portions of the package; a $250 deductible applies to MBI.

You should add Multi-Risk protection to your policy as soon as possible after the car is purchased. GEICO Multi-Risk can only be added if the vehicle was purchased or leased from the dealer within the last 15 months, has an odometer reading of 15,000 miles or less, and you are the first title holder.

Multi-Risk coverage expires once the vehicle is 7 years old or reaches 100,000 miles, whichever comes first."

Didnt know Geico offered that because my current ride was purchased used and it didnt apply. Seems to good to be true but I'll take it. I was ready to pay over $1000 bucks for an extended. Nice to know I can pocket that now.

Do you other insurance companies offer this?

Not that I'm aware of, doesn't hurt asking you're own insurance company.

I already have Geico

Was just wondering if it was a common offering or Geico specific.

 

[TIO M]

It must have been recently because I wasn't offered it for my 2009 M3 when I got back into country. When I sold my M3 and purchased the Ex they offered it to me, but my understanding its either first owned or vehicle within the first 15k miles.

I'd call them and ask? Either 2010 or 2011 is when it became available.

Does this cover the electronics stuff like GPS and Sync?

 

[Joe Dirt]

I would check very, very carefully and thoroughly on that Geico thing. I'd think that being 3rd party you're going to find a ton of restrictions, or a million reasons why they won't pay for the repair after you're holding the bill later. It sounds like a classic 3rd party warranty that will cover everything...

...as long as the repair is done at their shop, on the second or third Tuesday of the month, between 10am and 11am, by a mechanic with a last name that starts with "X" and your vehicle has between 3,000 and 3,050 miles and is blue. Non-metallic blue excluded.
