Extended warranties

[foggydewhurst]

Hi I recently posted  to say I am buying a Fiesta. I am paying tomorrow and picking up the vehicle in a few days. The car still has about 17 months warranty left and I had no intention of extending it. When i declined the extended warranty the salesman dropped the price and offered 3 years for the initial price of 1. I accepted this although now I'm having doubts. 

Apart from the fact I have spent more money than expected I will now be tied to Ford dealers for the next 4 years including services and MOT's .

I still have time to cancel he extended warranty and would really appreciate your opinions on whether they are worth it

Many thanks in advance

You are not tied to Ford dealers for servicing and MOTs. You can use any independant, as long as they use parts that conform to ford specs (doesn't have to be ford branded) and you keep the invoices / receipts / stamp the book etc. And they carry out the work to a good standard.

The thing with warranties, extended or not, is they only cover parts/issues that are unlikely to fail 🙂

I'd probably say you won't need it but 3 years for the price of 1 sounds good, if it isn't going to financially be an issue for you take it.
