I purchased a power train warranty on my previous track car and got a transmission rebuild out of the deal, worth every penny obviously. On the Ford ESP plans, I'm going back and forth on the options of which level to pick in order to protect myself from any engine related issues (I'm not arguing how prevalent they are, it's an investment I'm willing to make).
The power train option covers engine internals and they all state "Each Ford Protect Extended Service Plan covers major engine components, plus all gaskets, seals, and internal engine parts"
In my case with the age and mileage on the car, the difference in PowerTrain vs PremiumCare is about $300 ($850 vs $1,175) to go 8 years / 60K miles with a $100 deductible ($925 vs $1,355 for $0 deductible).
Since there are obviously some things not covered engine wise on the power train vs. Premium options, has anyone ever sat down and worked out whether one option might put someone in a bind if anything were to go wrong with the motor? I'm just worrying that I end up with the worst possible thing and the filter works off because the dealer didn't torque it and it dumps oil, grenades the motor and they say "Oh you just have PowerTrain? You're hosed..."
I am also seeing that the ESP warranty purchase immediately overrides the factory warranty when taking it in for service. Meaning if I put a $100 deductible on it, I will have to start paying $100 every time I go to the dealer for warranty work, even if I'm within the 3/36 period? Surely that's not right is it?
