All manufacturers that I know of would never sell a manufacturer extended warranty with "gotcha" language in the past 20-25 years. At least in the last 10-15 years I'd say, the same could be said for any third party extended service contract a dealer chooses to go with. There could be state to state legal differences but the consumer has never been more protected than now, plus the vast majority of smart dealerships don't want a public backlash of obvious and provable unethical sales tactics or contracts. There could be exceptions but that's my experience.no gotchas on Ford Protect that I can think of. It’s legit. Either the part is covered on the policy or it isn’t.
Agreed. The extended warranty doesn't come with it, it is factored in and acted like it is mandatory to show their manufacturer that they sell their ESCs of which there are profit kick backs or at least dealer perks from doing so.nothing in life is free. These types of warranties are frequently just an advertising ploy. Sounds like it worked in your case.
these free warranties are often full of loopholes and such to avoid paying claims. Ex. ALL service work must be performed with selling dealer and on schedule.
read the fine print.
also usually have lots of exclusions and exceptions that would have been covered on a real warranty.
Yeah, any dealer that offers a warranty free with a purchase most likely has catches. One of the biggest ones I've seen is that you required to have all your service, and maintenance done at THAT dealer.My dealer sells all new vehicles with a 7 year 100k warranty. Part of the reason I went with them.
Something for everyone to remember: The best sales person at the dealership is not your sales rep or the sales manager…….IT IS THE F&I MANAGER.You may also want to consider that you can purchase it anytime until your warranty expires. They usually don’t tell you that when the finance guy is giving you the shake down.
i didn’t mention otherwise and agree with you. It’s simple mathIt is not a 7 year warranty… it is a 4 year warranty… you already have 3 years with Ford
