Deals on Factory Extended Warranties

After some investigation at Edmunds, I found another way to get a good deal on car extended warranties. In this case it was a Ford extended warranty. The thread mentioned two websites that offered Ford extended service plans. One was Ford Warranty Central. This site sells service plans backed by Ford Motor Company, not aftermarket car warranties from independent warranty companies. Unfortunately it requires a phone call to receive quotes. The post mentioned a quote that was given for an Escape 4x4 that ranged from $1,045 to $1,400 for a 5yr/100K contract.

The other website for the Ford extended warranty was at Mid-States Ford. Someone in this thread considered this site very competitive, and provided a quote that he was given for his Ford Mountaineer: $1045 for 6 year/75K miles.

In both of these cases, they mentioned that they received much better deals than the 'best quote' provided by the local dealer.

I then started looking for similar websites for Honda, Toyota, GM, etc. I couldn't find similar websites. However, I did find another mention of a Toyota extended service plan deal. The person claimed to get a 7 year/75K mile $0 deductible extended warranty for $690 on his Toyota Tundra at a preferred dealer. He claimed it would have been $1300 for the same plan if bought directly from Toyota.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, be sure to check all of your local dealerships for the best deals on factory extended warranties.
