ESP - Yes or No?

464 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Tell3131
The car has 30k miles and I'm contemplating the premiumcare plan for 5 years, 100k miles. Cost is $1,390 (10% down, then 17 interest free payments of $73), $50 detuctible/visit, up to 10 days rental at $28/day, and I'm sure a bunch of other stuff that really doesn't matter.

Is this worth it?

I've only had the intake issues and a bad radio. The motor and transmission are new to this car so I would call them unknowns.

Mods are limited to springs and shocks.

These Are the Only Components Not Covered by ESP PremiumCARE
Mechanical
Service adjustments and cleaning, battery and cables, belts and hoses, brakes (front hub, drums, shoes, linings, disc rotors, pads), coolant, exhaust system (includes catalytic converter), filters, fluids, lubricants, lights (bulbs, sealed beam, lenses), manual clutch disc, shock absorbers, spark plugs and wires, squeaks and rattles, tires, tune-ups, wheel balancing, wheel alignment, wiper blades, wheel studs, and compressed natural gas/liquid propane fuel system components.
Exterior
Service adjustments (glass and body parts),bright metal bumpers, door handles, glass, moldings, ornamentation, paint, rust, sheet metal, structural underbody framework, sideview mirrors (glass and housing), water leaks, wind noise, weatherstrips, wheel covers and ornaments, convertible top, fabric, liners, zippers and fasteners.
Interior
Buttons, carpets, dash pad, door and window handles, knobs, rearview mirror (glass and housing), trim, upholstery.

If you plan to stay stock, I might do it.

Just be sure to call around to a bunch of different dealers and get quotes.

Ford supplies the warranty to the dealers at a certain price and anything above that is dealer profit. I would try to negotiate and/or call other dealers.

I was able to save several hundred dollars on the Premium Care warranty on my old Contour by doing this.

BlackFSVT is right. I was at a dealer and they offered me the extracare for $900 and I talked them down to $600. Here is a site that I used in my research on Ford ESP. You can buy these from any dealer www.fordwarrantycentral.com

Remember, EVERYTHING is negotiable when you are talking with dealers and what they want to sell. EVERYTHING!!!
Good luck!
