arabski Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) ...so now you see why I have a problem making up my mind But I guess I will go for it. $1,000 for the ultimate peace of mind over the next two years sounds like a good deal...

akirby Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The other thing to consider is paying $1000 up front vs. just paying for what you need as you go. Also - if you pay the $1K up front and then lose the vehicle for whatever reason you may not get the $1K back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggarob Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Good day all! I have a ? About the beginning of a Premium care plan. Does the plan start when you buy it, for example, one month before the end of the three-year warranty, or does it start at the very beginning when you bought the automobile new. I bought my edge two and half years ago and it only has 7200 miles on it. So if I buy the seven-year plan does that mean it's only good for four years after the initial three-year warranty is up, (this seems to be a common issue) or is it a full seven years after the three-year initial warranty ? Thanks for any info that you can give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The ESP term starts on day one of the regular warranty period, so a 7 yr 100K ESP is really a 4 yr 64K mile bumper to bumper warranty (after the 3/36 factory warranty) and a 2 yr 40K mile powertrain warranty (after the 5 yr 60K mile powertrain factory warranty).

SmilingMike Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The only concern I have is when someone tries to use a USA purchased PremiumCare at a Canadian dealership on a Canadian car, will the dealer try to weasel out of honouring it. My dealer mentioned that while the ESP is honoured throughout USA and Canada, that does not necessarily mean USA ESPs will always be honoured on Canadian cars purchased by Canadian residents. I have never heard of anyone that has actually successfully used the ESP in this situation... only promises and theoretical reasoning. I've been eyeing this for a while now so I'm keeping my eyes peeled... 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.

NexusFFO Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I purchased it, without second guessing it. The way it was explained, rather sold to me was it covers all the sensitive touch controls, nav, tires, roadside, hotel if you breakdown more then 100miles from home, free loaner* as per bait-um from the finance manager. The Edge Sport does have a whole lot of electronics and digital screens that can go bad so I felt it was best to get the best coverage, even thou my car was a pre-own cert under 100,000 miles. that only covers bumper to bumper whatever that means, I want full power train Lets see when the day comes that I need to claim a service repair and find out if I am covered LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Don't think it covers tires. Those electronics may be expensive but they usually either fail right away or last forever. It's rare for electronics to fail during an extended warranty period. That's the old scare tactic. It used to be engines and transmissions, now it's electronics.

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.

Libra1224 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Last new car I purchased the extended warranty through Ford. Of course that price was rolled into my loan and into my payments as well. This time I got the extended warranty for my new 2014 Edge through my insurance company. I have Geico. I had totally forgot about this nice option with Geico when we purchased a new car a few years back. Added it for the cost of about $43 per 6 month Premium. Still works out cheaper then going through the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusFFO Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 What's up all!! About this Topic, my Edge is due for its 80,000 service, I purchased the Top of the line ESP Premium Packaged 100,000 or 3 years/ I was told it covers a bunch of items, more then a bumper to bumper plan/ I also bought the tire package and dent protection. I was impresssed, Today I called to make an appointment and also to ask about my ESP coverage since I never recieved any documentation about the ESP or other coverage I payed for. When I bought the truck I noted to the sales man that the rear camera is blurry, the allighment was pulling to the right and the passenger seat had issues. He said, don't worry, after you make your first payments, you can bring the truck in and they will fix the issues under the ESP. No problem. So when I talked to the service agent on the phone I explained the issues at the time of purchace and he said we won't cover the allighment you havve to pay; and as far as the rear camera issue, that might no be covered. I told him to call my sales man to verify, and he replied...... oh I would have to fill out a form and send it to corp and wait for them to reply... WTF/ I am confused on this ESP crap I payed $2600 for....... https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ij9seduuxxhpbz/2015%20PremiumCARE%20Brochure.pdf?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Expensive lesson - always get it in writing. Ford publishes the ESP details and what's covered - just google it. That price also sounds really high for that type of coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusFFO Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes indeed, a lesson learned - Here is the breakdown on my contract CPO Premium ESP $1680.00 Basic Maintenace Plan - $695.00 Safe Guard Tire and Wheel - $349.00 Dent Guard Protect - $349.00 A total just for maintaince features: $3073.00 And they are telling me I have to pay for oil change? WTF to the max! lol thanks for the reply Expensive lesson - always get it in writing. Ford publishes the ESP details and what's covered - just google it. That price also sounds really high for that type of coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Did your maintenance plan look like this: http://www.lombardfordwarrantys.com/maintenanceplans.cfm They probably do the oil/filter change as per specs in the manual. Any other interval, you'd have to pay for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusFFO Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 All I have is the Purchase contract printout. I have never recieved any documentation via mail regarding the ESP warrenty packet. main concern is about the rear camera that was defected at purchase, and the ESP claims its covered thanks for the feed back. Be well Did your maintenance plan look like this: http://www.lombardfordwarrantys.com/maintenanceplans.cfm They probably do the oil/filter change as per specs in the manual. Any other interval, you'd have to pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
