Ford dealer in Houston Texas
Q: My Ford dealer in Houston Texas is offering an extended warranty. Should I get it?
A: I have one on my car, but that’s mostly because 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 almost used up all of its warranty miles. I don’t know what the previous owner was doing with it, but wherever they went, their driving made me get an extended warranty.
But that’s the only time that I’ve ever had to buy one. A lot of time they’re just a waste of money. It really depends on how you are with cars. I have a friend that has been driving the same car for eight years, whereas between me and my husband we have owned five cars over the past four years.
For my friend, it would probably be a good idea to get an extended warranty from his Ford dealer in Houston Texas. This is because usually the warranty from the factory is around thirty six thousand miles or three years, whichever comes first, so my friend would have been long past his factory warranty on his car. For me and my husband, except for in the situation with your current car, there would be no reason for us to get an extended warranty because we would probably have a new car by the time our factory warranty runs out.
It also depends on the car. I mean, is the car considered really reliable? Do you know anybody else who has had a previous model of the same car for a few years and hasn’t had any problems? If a car is really reliable, then you might be able to skip the extended warranty, even if you intend to have it for several years.
