    Re: Extended Warranty expired and was offered a Ford used car warranty

    Even if you are out of factory or extended warranty, you can still purchase another extended warranty, sometimes even past 100k miles, depending on the wty company. When I worked at the Cadillac/Jaguar dealership, our business manager sold ext warranties to a lot of people just visiting or coming in for service, etc. There are a lot of options that you don't always hear about.

      WOW! I guess I got a deal on my last oil change. I had a discount coupon from L/M dealer, which happens to be a lot closer to me than my Ford dealer. Coupon was $29.95 for synthetic blend, same price as my Ford dealer, and complete oil change service. When I took T-bird in with coupon they were having another special - buy first oil change at $39.95 and get the next two free and there is no time limit on when you get the free changes. I thought it was too good of a deal to pass up.

      I use Mobil 1 5-40W synthetic in my VW Passat 1.8 turbo. $32.50 for five qts. at AutoZone and local garage changes for $12. Add a filter from VW dealer and that's approx. $55.00 for full synthetic.

      Things are not always bigger in Texas!

        Marvin:
        I had the new car warranty in 2002. Then bought the 7 year 75,000 mile extended plan which just added 4 years. Now they offer a 4 year 48,000 (on top of whatever I currently have for mileage) Premium care (best the offer) for $1895, discounted to $1795. I believe if I can find that CT deaqler I can still do better and will post if I do.
        Thanks everyone for your tips

          George, the dealership is Lombard Ford, Winsted,CT. 860-379-3301. You can reach them on line at Fordwarranty.com. They usually have a discount o between $175 and $195 plus if you are still under a Ford warranty the $100 inspection is waived.

              For those who asked about Blend vs. full synthetic:

              "Motorcraft® SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil is a premium-quality passenger car motor oil designed, engineered and recommended by Ford Motor Company meeting warranty requirements. It is API Certified for gasoline engine service ILSAC GF-4 and meets API SM/Energy Conserving.

              The XO-5W20-QFS is:
              Motorcraft® SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil is a premium-quality passenger car motor oil designed, engineered and recommended by Ford Motor Company meeting warranty requirements. It is API Certified for gasoline engine service ILSAC GF-4 and meets API SM/Energy Conserving."

              So, I went back to my service order and it says XO*5W20*QSP Oil. Therefore, I believe QSP to mean Synthietic premium oil. Stil it's a better deal that I get at my Caddy dealer for regular oil.

                Hey Marvin,

                Long time no see.

                Haven't seen you since the old Village Green shows.

                Maybe see you some night at the Wednesday night show behind the Liberty Tree Mall. Barbara, Witchcity George, and I usually hang out there when the weather is good.

                  Carmino,

                  Watch the Ford website for coupons. 2 months ago they had a coupon for a Works Package that also included full synthetic for $59.95. Of course I didn't need one at the time and now that I do the coupon has expired.

                    Pat,

                    That URL is for another warranty dealer.

                    The one you are talking about and also the one I have used is

                    fordwarrantys.com

                    the added "s" makes a difference.

                        It is lombard ford in ct.
                        I went through the process with a customer service rep. I told him I had purchased the additional 7 yr/75000 mile warranty from them and I was looking for an extended warranty after the 7yrs expire. It is available. I spoke to Mike Mans support@fordwarrantys.com

                                Saw Marvin at the Liberty Tree Mall cruise today.

                                Also another potential New England member (he doesn't do internet so it may be hard to communicate.....what the heck did we do before internet....oh yeah...the phone). He has a white '03 that he took cross country last month and an anniversary black.

                                Maybe we can get Witchcity George to show up next week (Barbara will be at the Doctors)
