My daughter bought a 2016 Equinox with 30K miles on it last week and purchased a 100,000 mile, bumper to bumper extended warranty for $3600 from the Ford dealer! Well, long story short...that vehicle had a mechanical issue and she took it to dealer to find out tranny had issues and she is now soured on it and the dealer is offering her a different comparable vehicle of her choice. She is now thinking about a 2016 Ford Escape Titanium with 20,000 miles for same price. It has 1 yr/16,000 mile factory bumper to bumper left...for $995 she can get it certified which will extend warranty additional year or for $3600 she can get 100,000 bumper to bumper. I mentioned maybe checking with aftermarket company on warranty.
I personally never buy any warranties.....but she is pretty adamant that she wants an extended warranty. Any of you have any suggestions or advice? I told her if her luck is like mine, if she buys warranty she will never need it and if she doesn't buy warranty the car will blow up 1 day after factory warranty. Just looking for wiser input....... thanks.
