Thoughts about Advantage Care

[Chuck D]

Any thoughts about the wisdom of the "Total Exclusionary" Advantage Care plan sold by my dealer for the Mach e? As a rule, I haven't bought service agreements or extra warranties from manufacturers or third parties, and I have concern about paying for service I might not use if I sell the car within the next three years (unlikely given my history with other cars, though not impossible), but the uncertainty about what I might face if I keep the car after three years makes me wonder if I should make an exception here. Thanks! (Advantage Care is administered by Smart AutoCare and is sold only through dealers. The immediately advantage--sic--is that the cost can be included in my financing for the car.)

Thanks!

In summary: not worthwhile

In detail: search for discussions about "service contract" and "extended warranty".

If you must buy an extended warranty, NEVER EVER BUY A 3RD PARTY WARRANTY. NEVER.

Buy the Ford warranty from an online dealer like Flood Ford, Zeigler Ford, or Granger Ford.

Also, check your forehead in the mirror. It may say "a live one"...
