For me, I've never considered extended warranties as a true warranty. They really are a form of insurance - you hope you never need them, but if you do, you are glad you got them. My personal experience with them is the few times I've purchased them, I didn't use them. I have not purchased an extended warranty for my Ranger - I'm rolling the dice and if it needs some significant repair (transmission most likely), I will be footing the cost. I still think it is worthwhile, since my truck is paid for and if I were to buy a new vehicle I would be spending a good bit of cash to get into it.
i purchased one from them (Flood) back in september when my 3/36000 was up. 7/75000. currently with just 19k on the odo so no way i will reach the mileage limit. kinda wish i woulda run it by my dealership but i doubt they woulda matched it
We went back and forth for a while, he accused me of lying and making numbers up. I let him run the numbers and check their website and he insisted he couldn't match it. Told him fine, leave it off the purchase price and I'll write the check for the truck only, buy the warranty from Flood and let them honor the warranty they lost. He caved. Reminded him we bought the Exploder warranty from him and took it right in the ass and we weren't doing it again.
Plus we always get a loaner vehicle and don't need to arrange a ride or rent a car on our own. During Covid we had a loaner for 5 weeks, while waiting for a valve body in the Exploder trans.
When I bought my 2020 in 2023, I added the Ford
IF you need it - the two times I've purchased extended warranties for cars, I never used them. I bought one on my 2005 Ranger - 7 year, 100k miles - never used it. Bought it for our C-Max Hybrid because I was worried about all the electronics and that car has been the most trouble free vehicle we've ever had.
