Correct, you can buy a Ford ESP even if the vehicle is outside the original warranty. It just costs a bit more and you need to get an inspection done on the vehicle.

US FORD ESPs are valid in Canada. I have 1 and I have used it in Canada. Canadians cannot buy US ESPs as of a few years ago. There is a workaround. I've PMd you. FORD US ESPs are about 40% cheaper than FORD Canada ESPs, even with factoring in the current exchange rate.

Older topic but my 5 cents (we don't have pennies in Canada anymore): My Ford PremiumCARE ESP (from a US seller) purchased online at $2000 (Canadian) for a used (out of warranty) Canadian Edge. Keep in mind that shop rates and parts are priced a lot higher here in Canada than in the USA. 1st issue would have cost $1600. I paid $100 deductible. 2nd issue would have cost $600 . I paid $100 deductible. My warranty expires in 2019 and I won't hit the mileage limit. Out of pocket difference so far is $0. I've got 3 years left with no big $$$ worries.

It is a 2011 Edge so I think it has more than "the first couple of hundred miles". Yes, it sounds like a catalytic problem. In my opinion, pre-cat.

Heck no. I don't wan't Apple anywhere near my business.

If you buy the warranty after yours expires, you are getting what you bought. In my case, because I bought after the original warranty had expired. I purchased a 5 year 60000 MILE warranty, so I'm good till 2019 (I work close to home) and as I've posted, I've already used it with no issues.

I tried to PM you but I don't have enough posts as per the message I got. I purchased a US ESP last month for my used, locally purchased (Toronto GTA) Edge. I had an issue and brought it in last week. The service department called me and said all I have to pay is the 100 deductible. The US ESP was already registered to my VIN. You can message me for more details if you'd like.
