Extended Service Plans ESPs

[ChiefD]

Thanks to this site and Bob's information I was able to have my dealer match the price from Flood on my new F150. Save a lot from the one he initially offered. The F&I person had to look everything up because they don't normally sell Ford ESP.

A few more questions -

• On Ziegler, it gives a choice - ESP only, ESP and Maintenance, Protect Maintenance. Are people buying ESP only or ESP and Maintenance? I chose ESP and Maintenance.
• It asks - How many years of original warranty? I chose 3 for a new F150.
• Then, it wants the service interval - 5000, 7500, 10000? What's a reasonable number?
• Synthetic Oil - Y/N

Any advice on good answers to the above would be appreciated. I am thinking Maintenance as well as we take our vehicles to the dealer for maintenance.

I did not see all these questions on the Flood site. Are these because I chose ESP and maintenance here?

PS: I played with the answers - service interval, synthetic oil, etc. And, they do not seem to change the price $2255 for 8/1000 - Premium ESP. That's a higher number than posted here...

I looked at the maintenance plan a little bit and after seeing their price, it looked to me like it would be the same price as paying at each visit. I don't know how much oil changes are in other parts of the country but I saw no savings going with the plan. My first couple will be free from the Ford Pass points and I am real specific what type oil I want to use, so it was a easy "no" decision for me.

I will do my own small easy items myself, like change air filter, cabin filter etc., maybe even a few of my own oil changes now that they have gone back to a canister oil filter.

Just my 2 cents worth...Lol

Hello @currybob - I looked at this. The price with maintenance seems to be $2255, and without maintenance seems to be $2055. Unless I am doing this wrong - that's just $200 in maintenance over 8 years.

My truck isn't at the dealer yet - so isn't mine yet So, I am not yet at the buying stage and did not call Ziegler to clarify this further.

Hummm, I must not have read it right or something, it has been awhile but I was getting much higher figures than that. At 7500 mile average oil change intervals and not sure of the mileage you selected but say 100,000 miles. That is 13 oil changes at about $80 (syn oil) per service. So they are charging $200 for $1,040 worth of service??

Check and verify for that would be a good deal, just not what I found.

Yep!! I'm waiting for my 42,000 points. It has only been 5 days but as soon as they show up I'm using them on this.

Can someone explain this to me? You can buy an ESPP with points?

You can use your points at Flood Ford ESP, maybe others too. Check the last question of their FAQ.

Just signed my paperwork yesterday. My sales manager had no problem matching the printed quotes I brought in from Flood and Anderson & Koch. (Zeigler was $250 more than both.) I got the 8yr/150k $0, full coverage.

Bought the Ford Protection Premium plan yesterday. 8yr, 100kmi, $0 ded, $2055. (Good thru 3/31)I would have bought from my dealer but Floods price was less than their cost.

Didn’t you cancel your order and buy a Toyota?

My 42k points just showed up today, took delivery 5 days ago.

I'm a newbie here, so please excuse me if this has been answered before... What is this 42K point you folks are referring? How does one get these points to use for lowering the cost of ESP?

Thanks.

You get FordPass rewards points for buying a vehicle and adding it in the app. That's the 42k points people are referring too

How many miles do you drive a year?
Remember, it’s whichever comes first on the ESP not both.

Ah, I get it now. Thank you for the explanation. I shall wait for my reward points to show up since I took delivery from existing dealership stock.

Make sure you have the Ford pass app loaded on your phone and register your truck VIN to it.

Thank you @currybob for this thread. The prices for the PremiunCare ESP are reasonable. I wish the maintenance plans were as reasonable. As is, I will probably sign up for the 7 year/100K ESP.
