Warranty....is it too late ??

[ShelbyMike21]

Hey all, I have a 2018 gt350 and the oem warranty is coming to an end.

I bought the car at 9k miles and now is sitting at 20k. Car drives perfectly fine and does not consume oil.

I been thinking buying an extended warranty for peace of mind.

I'm in the same boat as you. I think people like Granger ESP from ford

I bought mine from Granger. $50 above cost.

Flood and Anderson charge $100 above cost so Granger is the cheapest.

Don't bother with 3rd party warranties.

There are other online dealers that offers ESP’s. I got mine from Flood Ford just before Zach started offering them. Wish I would have known because I would always support someone who supports us.

Anderson Koch Ford or Flood Ford, but only if original purchase date is less than 41 months ago.

I went with a third party. Granger couldn't offer me anything (I was beyond the 3 years), but interestingly, I could still get the Ford ESP, I think through any local dealership. Ford required an inspection, 3rd party did not. The 3rd party I went with is one of the companies used when you buy a used car from a dealership. After tons of reviewing forums, talking with them, talking with folks who used them on forums, and going through the fine print, I was more comfortable with them than Ford.

If your car is 100% stock, then I would go Ford ESP. If it's not stock, no matter how minor the changes, I would at least consider 3rd party.

Word of wisdom. Read the fine print. One of the third party protection plan said they will cover engine replacements. The fine print said "except in cases where oil ceases to flow, or is blocked".

You could try these guys from youtube, Your Advocate Alliance, they sell it from the same insurers that the dealers use, supposedly for less at: https://joinyaa.com/

This is the clause I mentioned in my post.

Lack or loss of oil or lubricant. Metal on metal is the reason engines fail.

As others noted, go to Flood Ford as they appear to have the best prices for the Ford warranty. The only negative is the cost will be higher now vs buying earlier.

Would you consider a Ford Performance air filter still stock? That is the only change I have on my R.

Being a 2018, he probably won't be able to get a Ford warranty. They go by the original sale date of the car, and by the base warranty(3yr/36K), not the powertrain(5yr/60K). They allow up to 41 months past the original sale date to get a warranty. So unless this 2018 was sold new in 2020, he doesn't qualify for the Ford ESP.

There are also warranties for used cars but they are costly. Might not be worth it for a “R”. Best to reach out to Zach for confirmation.

Granger is a forum sponsor and cheaper than any of the other online retailers.

Lol, I would think it's fine and I wouldn't think twice about it. Never know with the Ford tech though lol...
