[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 935939, member: 60724"] Dave, Wow...that's a lot. $1700 to extend your warranty for another 3 years. Almost $600/year for "peace of mind.". Still, given that the car was 3 years old when you bought it, if you plan to keep her a while, it might pay off for you. Essentially Ford is betting the car will be trouble-free for another 3 years. You are betting it won't. Who actually wins that bet; either way? I also bought a 2007 Focus a few years back, new. I *DID* have its coverage extended to 7 years under the "Ford Premium Car Plan". Before calling me a hypocrit, recognize that I only paid $180 for that extension AND I paid that with a check when picking up the car (try never to finance over time any warranty...really adds to the total cost). Yep, that's right; $180 to go from 3/36 to 7/70. Seemed like a no-brainer. That car is now 3 years old, out of factory warrany, and has just over 40k miles. Will likely unload before it hits 70k.
