Extended Warranties
Are there any non-Ford, aftermarket, extended warrantys that are worth considering? As for the Ford ESP, are there any discounts available? Its getting near the time when I have to decide if I want to get one; Ford won't sell theirs after 3/36. Do the dealers only sell the Ford ones? This is my first Ford. With my last GM car the dealer had GM warranty plans plus some less expensive 3rd party ones. Ford's ESP is kinda expensive....

I have heard a lot of horror stories about third party warranties. For ESP, I would suggest Jerry Johnson at Mid West Supperstore (800-530-5789 Cell 620-664-8844 http://www.midwestsuperstore.com/). He has very good prices. He beat everyone on a warranty I bought last month...it was for my Tundra (the dealership sells Ford/Mercury/Toyota), but he had better prices on the Ford ESP than what I paid last year. I wish I had found him before I bought the ESP.

Another thing I have found just by searching online, there are some dealers all over the country selling Ford ESP online. So I don't know if its better to go with my local dealer where I can visit in person or buy it online from an anonymous Ford dealer 1,000 miles away. Does it really matter anyway? I mean, if that dealer offers crappy service I'm not going to be using them anyway. I've never bought anything like this from a non-local dealership.

The ESP is valid at all Ford dealers, so where you buy it is less important than where you have it worked on. On my wife's car, they fixed a problem with the rear window motor under warranty and never commented or seemed to care that I the warranty someplace else.

My Ford Dealer sold me one by Fidelity. Probably had to do with better commissions. ![Dunno](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
It is transferrable and has a "Return of Premium" type clause if I don't have to use it. We'll see...

I decided to buy an ESP from a Ford dealer online. Got a good price too. But, am I supposed to receive anything from Ford like an ID card or something with a contract number? They sent me the actual contract itself, but it doesn't have any sort of identifying number. How will my servicing dealer know I have an ESP, aren't they going to ask me for a contract number when writing up service?

No card for me. The dealer I bought mine from sent me a computer printout from their internal data base that showed the extended warranty. Any Ford dealer can look it up by your vin #.
