My 2006 Mustang GT had a three-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty from the factory. For the 2006 model year there was no extended powertrain warranty included beyond that new car warranty. With the warranty set to expire late last month, I set about finding an extended warranty. Ford offers an extended service plan or ESP through their dealers. The ESP is offered for various time/mileage options and with a range of service options. I wanted a seven-year plan (starts on Day One, so four years remain now) and a mileage of 60k miles (44k more than where the car is today).
I found Anderson & Koch Ford out of Minnesota and they hooked me up with the best Ford ESP out there called Premium Care. Premium Care basically covers everything including the radio, but no interior or exterior trim pieces though. (See plan details online.) They offer this particular plan I selected for $960 (with a $100 deductible) since my car was still under the new car warranty, and there are a few options you can choose for a small additional cost. I went with a $50 deductible and first-day rental.
This is the exact same Premium Care plan the dealer will try to sell you when you buy a new Ford, but sold online here for much less $. The plan documents arrived a couple days later in the mail. If you are in the market for a Ford ESP warranty, I suggest checking them out. [Update: I had a small $350 repair done in October (a common TSB actually). The plan worked great as expected, I got a free rental car, and my total repair cost was only $50. Cool!]
