Re: US fidelis

Don't know about the company that you reference above, but I would stick with Ford product if you can get it. There are many threads on here about warranty, just do a search above for info. I suspect that there are parts available but the insuance companies figure cost to repair against payoff for total loss value... and to them our Birds are "just another automobile". Today, the labor cost far outweigh parts cost I suspect.

I agree i would stick with Ford warranty. The following is a email I got earlier this week and with the $180 discount it came up to approx $1780. That was for 3yr/36k, $50 deductible with premium care coverage.

Frank -- Be VERY carful of any aftermarket warranty companies. The majority of them write policies that aren't worth the paper they are written on. Stick with the Ford extended warranty plan if you can.

Re: US fidelis

I would normally agree with sticking with the Ford Warranty if possible, but Texasbird was purchased from a dealership that specializes in new high end European makes. We've laughed that having the T-bird on their lot was probably a disgrace and why the price was as reasonable as it was. We purchased the extended warranty they offered thru "Total Protection Plan" and have been pleased with their assistance so far with COP problems, etc.

If you choose to buy an aftermarket warranty, I hope it serves you as well as ours has.

Stick with Ford warr. Aftermarket companies go belly up regularly.

Re: US fidelis

If Frank's car is out of the original Ford warranty, isn't he forced to go with an aftermarket company? As for the aftermarket company going belly-up, how stable is Ford? Think about that.
