Warranty for Life - Wrap

[taigacarol]

Is the CNA/Ford Lifetime Warranty that they started to offer in 1/2017 worth buying if you plan on keeping the truck a long time? Cost is a little over 3K with no mileage or time limit. Anyone have a copy of the actual contract. Our 2018 is in.

Ironically i was watching Tommy Boy last night so a quote about guarantees resonates right now

Any decent vinyl shop will stand up to their work within a reasonable amount of time. I'd be pretty skeptical of extended replacement coverage unless your paying a 2-3x multiple of the normal rate up front. Even then has the shop has been around a long while and can you forsee them stayin in business? I see vinyl shops by the handful open and close in our area, but only a couple that have been around for the long haul and or didnt go BK during that time and reopen under a new org

I am talking about the additional Ford Lifetime Warranty

This is not about vinyl - additional mechanical warranty in addition to the lifetime powertrain

It sounds great, what is the cost and what are the limitations?

lol either you changed the first post significantly or I was clearly out of it yesterday ha

This looks to be a 3rd party warranty FYI, despite it being offered by a dealer. If you truly believe you will own the truck for such an extensive period, I could see a benefit, but id worry of limiting coverage so far down the line, plus extra hassles in the warranty claims process as opposed to a true ford warranty.

An official Ford premiumcare warranty plan can be had quite cheap online (less than half that for ~6-7yr100k). A major benefit to ford coverage, if you trade in or sell truck your truck, you will get a prorated refund of the cost back. You can also transfer it to the new owner, so it adds resale value too.

Realistically, most people will sell their truck before reaping the rewards of such a long warranty, so I'd look into its transfer-ability and or prorated refund options, which Id think are unlikely to exist

He edited the post lol. I was thinking it was about vinyl wrap also.

Ohh the things I could have replaced with a LIFETIME parts warranty lol. I'd make sure there isn't some clause about maximum replacement costs and voiding the warranty due to abuse..

LOL - I did edit it - thought more people knew about this - yes it is from CNA, the company that covers the powertrain from what I can tell.
