And although a bit of a stretch for you, Manufactures do have some long term commitments on certain safety components and emissions, especially enforced in states HIGH on inspections or revenue generation by policy enforcement.

Relevant to Ranger Owners.. Standard Warranty terms, this is before any Extended service contracts.*


Ford Warranty                    Terms



















Bumper-to-Bumper 3 years/36,000 miles
Powertrain 5 years/60,000 miles
Safety Restraint System 5 years/60,000 miles
Corrosion (Perforation Only) 5 years/Unlimited miles
Diesel Engine 5 years/100,000 miles
Emissions Up to 8 years/80,000 miles




* Most extended service contracts are by 3rd party insurance/policy companies owned by the very dealerships they're being sold by.  Its nearly 85% profit minus what the Finance manager/Desk managers get as kickbacks or commissions from.  The only Extended service contract [usually] is a drive train one.  So for those of you not able to work on your own engines/trans or can afford the time down to do that, something that MAY prevent you from owning a paper weight might be a extended service contract.

I would suggest, especially within the last decade in ALL honesty, there are far better ways to buy a vehicle without a bank ever telling you know, or that you can't afford a specific package [to a degree] and pay yourself a compounding interest back. OR Lease a vehicle.  Honestly it is NO BENEFIT of really buying a vehicle anymore unless you're buying it for a specific purpose with more than a basic long-term goal in mind.

I know a lot of people are apprehensive taking or even offering advice on the processes of purchasing a vehicle or talking family-based monetary policy.  But if you're really looking to save money, or do something with all the advantages being in your favor long term.  I have some suggestions.
