ESP PremiumCare or Not?

[Caddis51]

First post to this forum! I am the proud new owner of a 2022 Wildtrak with ~ 18K miles. It came with the certifed blue warranty, which is expiring shortly.

I know there have been tons of ESP posts, but it looks like its been awhile, or atleast they seem to have significantly increased in price over the last 1-2 years

I shopped around and it looks like my only options for a used ESP (past factory 3 years) are through Ziegler and Granger. For a 5 yr/75K (based on warranty date, not orignal purchase/0 miles), its looking like ~ $4K (w/ $200 deductable and including keys and lights). I am leaning towards Ziegler because they have 6 or 12-mo interest free payment option.

Based on experience - are people actually getting value out of thier PremiumCare? do repairs actually get covered under the warranty? and is $4K worth it for 2031/93,000 miles?

I have never bought an ESP (and havent regretted it)...but I love my Bronco and plan to keep it for awhile. So, i'm feeling like I should pull the trigger but $4K seems steep.

I appreciate any thoughts or personal experiences.

$4,000 seems really expensive for 5 year/75k miles.. have prices really increased that much??

I paid $1,800 for a 7 year/100k miles ESP, but that was back in 2022.

It would be hard to justify that much of a price increase.

Edit: I totally read past the 2022 with 18k miles part. I’m assuming that makes a difference. I bought mine brand new.

5 years ESP I thought is from the in service date of the vehicle? That gets you what, 1 more year for the 22MY? That isn't worth it IMO. I just got an ESP right before my 3/36 was up, 9 year 75k, and it wasn't anywhere near $4k.

Edit: Just realized for used vehicles its contract purchase date not in service date.

4k is pretty steep. I don't think I would do it for that price.

I thought it was from the date the vehicle was delivered. So for me it would be April 2023.

I get mixed information from Granger website. The FYI says the clock starts ticking when the Bronco is delivered, the original in-service date and mileage, April 2023 for me.

But somewhere else they say for a used Bronco it starts when the contract is purchased. I'm a low mileage driver so I'd get the 60,000 mile, 10 year plan for $2035. So I'd have coverage until 2016 and just add 60,000 miles to my current odometer reading for mileage?

I could almost justify that.
