Ok, I haven't had many posts so please go easy on me!!
Our current PremiumCare extended warranty (ESP) with Ford expires soon, and when I took our car into the dealer they offered to extend it another 5 years. The offer I was interested in was:
5 years / 60,000, $200 deductible PremiumCare for $2302 after taxes
It showed this on the service advisor's computer. And I thought it was outrageous.
So I went home and did some research online and found that you can get heavily discounted warranties from other official Ford Dealers. These are the same warranties that my local dealer was going to sell me!! These guys had the best price (and can do NON-FORD cars too!):

They were able to get me an additional:
5 years / 60,000, $100 deductible PremiumCare for $1435
I purchased it at night. I called my local dealer's service advisor the next day and the new ESP was active on my account.
You want to extend it as close to the expiration date of your current ESP as possible, but not past it or they will have to do a car inspection and possible inspection fees. From what I understand the new ESP plan becomes active when you buy it and overrides any other plans you have active on the account. Be sure to check out their FAQ here:

Another company also offers discounted official Ford ESP plans.
You can get a coupon code by filling out a quote and putting in your email address. This emailed me a coupon code for $190 off their already discounted plans.
They can be found here:

They also offer Ford ESP plans on NON-FORD cars here:
http://www.fordespwarranty.com/
Their FAQ is here:

In the end, they wanted $1606 for the same PremiumCare plan with all the discounts/coupons applied, which is why I went with the Zeigler Ford Group instead.

Each plan actually for the most part covers more than the plan below it, even in the overlapping areas of coverage.

So by doing a little research I was able to save $867 for the same exact plan my local dealer offered.
Well hope it helps you all out!! Good Luck!!! Happy SD'ing!

Most will say that ESP's are a waste of money, but for those of us with bad luck, they more than pay for themselves.
The english majors are worried about the formatting of the text!! LOL!!

Not to mention this is much better than the power train warranty....
It includes road side service, rental car and etc...to extend a car's warranty from 6 to 11 years on the most inclusive plan Ford offers for $1435 is a deal.
