homerj Member 52 Member For: 21y 3m 10d Location: Berwick,Melbourne Posted 21/05/06 08:00 AM Share Posted 21/05/06 08:00 AM Is there a time period that the extra can be purchased? Can you wait till the existing one is juuust about to run out and sign up on the extra?If it is about $1300 then $36 per month to have full warranty is a bargain.Only problem is no modding - aahh the dilemmas we must face.

Paranormal Member 469 Member For: 21y 4m 29d Location: Brissy Posted 21/05/06 10:13 AM Share Posted 21/05/06 10:13 AM I could be wrong but I dont think the extended warranty is a full warranty, I think they only cover a certain amount of parts & labour,somthing like $1500 limit. If that's right then say you blow a gearbox or worse n engine it's going to cost you more than $1500 plus the $1400 odd you paid for the extended warranty. So in the end costs you the same even if something major dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageF6 Donating Members 1,622 Member For: 20y 9m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/05/06 02:00 AM Share Posted 22/05/06 02:00 AM I must have got a good one then. The extended warranty book I got states clearly that it's identical to my factory warranty, and is good to 6yrs/180,000. Mine is one offered by Ford, not just the dealership.The cost of repairs etc is unlimited to 150,000kms as per factory. The only difference is that from 150k-180k the max claimable at any one time is $2000.Also, reading the extended warranty book it states that I can cancel at any time and they'll refund the remainder of the period outstanding (assuming I'm into the extended warranty period, otherwise I get the full amount back). Someone want to explain how I'm being shafted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/05/06 03:04 AM Share Posted 22/05/06 03:04 AM Agreed Savage,I cancelled my warranty and got a cheque back for $1100.00 within 10 days of faxing it through.There are 2 different warranties. The Ford one that is a Ford Australia Extended Warranty. It's underwritten by Swann Insurance and has No limit. except for the one SavageD mentioned.The other is a Dealer extended warranty and I would not touch one.They are generally provided by Wynns, Australian Car Warranties (I think) and have many limits and conditions. You are able to buy the Ford Warranty anytime up until your factory warranty expires.As for Value, I think it is great, even for modded cars. If your ICC is toasted. it will be a $3500 experience out of warranty, and there are many other non driveline examples that will cost you big $$'s if you do not have some coverage.

I got another 2yrs and up to 100,000 Kms for $995. I think it's good insurance just incase you have a major failure. They ask you if you have mods when you sign the papers.

wiresquire Member 266 Member For: 20y 1m 27d Posted 22/05/06 09:13 AM Share Posted 22/05/06 09:13 AM I checked out some after market warranties a while ago. Here's a link:http://www.aswn.com.au/war_products.aspxThey also offer an extension to new car warranty for 7yrs/200K. Not sure on prices, but might be worthwhile checking them direct.hthws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
