Does it matter when you buy your extended warranty?

Have any of you noticed that all that knock Flood Ford have actually never bought it? Are there any ESP owners out there that have had a negative experience with a ESP from Flood Ford?

I went with Flood Ford and bought a plan based on the amount of time I plan on keeping the truck and also the miles I put on it.
ESP PremiumCare with a $50 deductible it brought my powertrain from 3/36 up to 5/60 and the enhanced rental. This is the plan that worked for me and was $685.00 for 2 additional years on it.

The contract states that " The Warranty agreement is backed by full faith and credit of the Ford Motor Service Company " Dearborn MI 1-800-521-4144. Call them if you have any questions about the ESP warranty

I doubt they sell them “at cost”, likely some dealer’s misinformed ramblings and upset about not being able to match Flood’s quote.

Dunno.

I'm going to go with Post #63 FTW! A very creative answer if I say so myself.

So how does Flood make any money?

Flood Ford has posted before that they make like <$200 per warranty, but they sell a ton of them. Not a lot of overheard required for a website either.

Can't find the thread, but it was on a forum where people trying to setup a group buy for a bigger discount.

I'd be in for that.

When I called to get the options and prices I spoke to Gardiner Reynolds and this was way before Covid-19. I would swear that he was working from home, maybe that is one of the ways they can keep the price so low. It did not sound like you reached a Ford dealer and they transferred you over to the warranty department, it was more like a call center for the warranty center. I don`t care because the bottom line is it saved me hundreds over what my dealer wanted and is the exact same thing. Like I mentioned above Ford's Dearborn 800 number is listed as the contact. It did cost less if you did purchase it within a certain time limit which I believed the truck was still considered new, I could be wrong but I believe that is what I was told.
