garycrist Posted May 8, 2024 Report Share Posted May 8, 2024 (edited) I have a man we have worked with for many years on a different site. He has given me permission to forward his information to anyone needing a Ford ESP plan. He is the General Manager of the dealership so there will be some rules, as we do not need his e-mail box filling with B.S. PM me and I'll be glad to forward Joel's info to you.. The process is simple as sending in the VIN year and mileage and picking one's plan/plans. It is my understanding these are at his cost. Gary P.S. In Florida, it is an insurance policy and is handled in state. I make no money too! Edited May 9, 2024 by garycrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted May 23, 2024 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2024 Just found out a little trick when comparing plans. Most strip all of the goodies and add them back. So make sure you get the rest; This is from my guy. "No worries. Just need to be sure comparable plans are being offered All of my prices include 1st day rental Key Service Enhanced Rental Lighting They strip out all the options and make you add them back."

garycrist Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Here's an update. While doing an oil change (Valvoline Protect and Restore) and a 25K mile service on the the RDU, I noticed a nice bronze goldish color in the RDU fluid. (OH BOY). While draining the oil, I noticed the oil pan is leaking and the battery is shot after 2 years 3 months. Thanks too knowledge gleaned here about the oil pan fix, it was time to trudge to the dealership and talk to a service advisor. My ESP goes to 75K miles and 2028 but, if the RDUs and PTUs keep failing, should I trade in for an Explorer ST or can I extend my ESP out to say 125 K miles+ for a few thousand dollars? That question was answered promptly by my ESP guy in less than 30 minutes via e-mail. Save your $$$s was the answer! Wait till 73K miles or a few months before the 2028 deadline. One has to respect one's contact when one has the wallet wide open and he won't take your money! If you need an ESP Quote give me a PM I'll set you up with my guy (I make no money or bird-dog fee). After that I'll drive a ways to buy a new Ford (If we live drive that long). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 When I bought my 2024 Edge ST, they offered me the Ford Premium Care ESP for $1,745. It was for 8 years or 60K, whichever comes first. Since I only drive 5-6K a year, it was a no brainer. I believe the Premium Care plan pretty much covers everything. I hope! I cannot believe with all the new technology (crap) on these cars today, that they will go for too many years without something failing. And with my luck, something major will happen right after the warranty expires! 😣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 That is far more than I paid for 75K/ 5 years. We don't plan on buying another vehicle due to age. So, I'll enjoy the ST and let Ford fix it for $100 a whack and a free car to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzr1 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 (edited) 17 hours ago, garycrist said: That is far more than I paid for 75K/ 5 years. I'm sure on new vehicles with a Ford ESP it starts from day 1. So that only gives you 2 years of additional coverage past the base warranty. I purchased a similar plan to STBEAST but with a little more mileage, and paid approximately $1500. I purchased it online through a different dealer because my selling dealer wanted to sell me a third party warranty. He said the Ford warranty wasn't any good, I disagreed and still do.

STBEAST Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I did a bit of research, and the Ford Premium Care Plan is by far the best, as it covers almost everything. And they will use OEM. 8 years is 5 years past the standard so it really made sense for me to do it. With all the technology and gadgets, something will have issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLLI18 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 I got 10 yr 100000 mi from a Ford dealer on line (Flood) Premium for 2400 after using $400 Ford points from the car purchase. 100 deduct 1st day rental & lights, but skipped the keys. Of course one of the fobs went down the drain (literally) and I had to fork out $$ and bought a refurb one. I probably overpaid for the Warr but it was the best price I saw on line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
