Reader’s Question:

Should I get the extended warranty that my Ford dealer in Houston Texas is offering?

Houston, TX

I actually have one on my car, but that is mostly since by the time I bought it at the Ford dealer in Houston Texas, it had only been on the market for a few months but already it had roughly worn all of its warranty miles. I do not know what the preceding owner was doing with it, but wherever they went; their driving made me get an extended warranty.

But that is the lone time that I have ever had to buy one. A lot of time they’re just a waste of money. It is really up to on how you are with cars. I have a friend that has been driving the identical car for eight years, while among me and my husband we have bought five cars over the past four years.

For you my friend, it would almost certainly be a good idea to obtain an extended warranty from your Ford dealer in Houston Texas. This is for the reason that regularly the warranty from the factory is approximately thirty six thousand miles or three years, whichever comes first, so my friend you would have been long past his factory warranty on his car. For me and my husband, apart from the situation with your current car, there would be no reason for us to get an extended warranty since we would probably have a new car by the time our factory warranty terminates.

Furthermore it depends on the car. I mean, is the car believed to be really dependable? Do you know anyone else who has had a preceding model of the same car for a few years and has not had any troubles? If a car is really dependable, then you may be able to leave out the extended warranty, even if you plan to have it for more than a few years.
