Anyone who has had one of our Thunderbirds knows how expensive it can get if anything goes wrong. NOTE: October 1st is the DEADLINE to buy a Ford Extended Warranty for 2002's. In three more weeks 2002's will NOT be eligible, ever again, for a Ford extended warranty.
Of course the cost of an extended warranty varies depending on how many miles your car has, and what level of coverage you choose, and for how long. I have less than 13,000 miles on my 2002 and I am buying the 5 year 48,000 Premium Care coverage for less than $1,700 from an internet Ford Dealer: http://www.lombardfordwarrantys.com/ My local dealer wanted over $2,000 for the same policy! If you cant get a good deal from your local dealer and choose Lombard, at their website, you enter your information and minutes later they will send you a discount code good for $190 off. That's where my $1,690 purchase price came from. Good luck whatever you choose but remember there's only until Oct 1st to buy it for 2002's. A 2003 owner has another year to buy it.
NOTE: If your 2002 (or 2003-2005) is out of warranty (as mine is) you will have to have the car inspected for about $100 before they will issue the policy. If you buy from your local dealer they will perform the inspection for $100 - if you buy the policy from Lombard they will send someone out to your house to inspect the car for the $100.
