oldlugs Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I was informed I couldn't buy an extended warranty thru Ford. Any other options? Thanks My dealer sure wanted to sell me one... Ask another dealer or contact SVT for info. Maybe your dealer is just a wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcobra Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 My dealer told me the same thing I was told the same. In fact, we discussed how the 2000 Cobra R didn't even come with the basic 3 yr / 36000. The KR came with the basic, but no extended warranty available. Interesting. Old Lugs, either our dealers were wrong or yours was...I wondered if he wanted to sell you one because they are used to doing that, but if he had checked into it he would have discovered it wasn't an option? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbypt Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I bought a 7 year extended warranty for $1,000. This included the supercharged option as well. I hope it was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbypt Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I PM'd Michael and did not hear anything back. I'm not sure why a KR owner couldn't get an extended warranty. The one I bought was inclusive for the supercharged engine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 When I got mine, the dealer told me they were not available. Something to do with bickering between Ford and SAI on who would be responsible for what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belltr Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I purchased one on my KR from FORD and it coveres the super charger Bumper to Bumper up to 100 K Miles and 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa2 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I bought my KR a week ago and the dealer tried real hard to sell me one. They are the largest Shelby dealer in Indiana too. I would think they would know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0767 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 We did not buy an extend warranty for either the GT500 or the KR when we purchased them. I received a call from Ford just last week and was able to put a seven(7) year warranty on the GT500 but they would not sell one for the KR. The only reason they gave is that the car had been modified by Shelby and they would not cover the modifications since they were not done by Ford. We don't put a lot of miles on any of them but it would have been nice to have had the extra peace of mind. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiaCobra Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ok, got official word about an extended warranty on a KR. Simple answer = No I'm holding in my hand a list of "Ineligible vehicles and usage" that the dealer made a copy of and gave to me. The following are listed: Roush Stage 2 Roush Stage 3 427R Saleen modified vehicles Mustang Cobra R Shelby GT-500KR Supersnake For those that somehow got coverage for their KR's, it's suggested you go back to the dealer that sold you the warranty and see if you can get your money back BEFORE you have to make a claim. Ford Motor Company WILL reject the claim once the Vin # is given. I was told the dealer, even in selling it in error, should know once they register the Vin #. It's at that time they would know their mistake. The bottom line is...you can't get an extended warranty through Ford for your KR. Check out the last page. It lists the ineligible vehicles. http://www.factoryplans.com/assets/cms/files/ESPProgram.pdf Btw, I asked about a warranty on a GT-500 and it was $305 for a 7 year plan, plus an additional $150 to have the super charger covered. So, $455 would cover a GT-500 for 7 years and 36k miles.. GT-500 extended coverage. http://www.authorizedfordwarranties.com/cgi-bin/WebStore/indexNZ.cgi/layout=FLM/source=Ford_Shelby_GT500/gl=fgroup2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbypt Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 What doesn't appear to jive with the list of ineligible vehicles is any vehicle made for competitive driving/racing/off-road. This would disqualify any vehicle with a supercharger. So why would they have you check off supercharged option on the extended service plan. It also states that a GT does not qualify. I've had extended service plans on a GT before and knew many others who have as well. Something is fishy here! I will check into it on my end because I did get the service plan.

Gary, when they mention "GT", they're not talking about a Mustang GT. They're talking about the 2004-2005 Ford GT. Competitive driving/racing/off road are cars modified beyond their intended use. You should check into it and see if the dealer made an error. I believe they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the exact story I got from my dealer, and again when I called Ford SVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belltr Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I hope this is incorrect, as I am one of those who purchased an Extended Warranty, Mainly for the super charger. But I will also try to investigate and let you know my findings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang_Scotty Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 They simply do not cover the KR with an extended warranty...period. Also if you didn't know that if you purchase an extended warranty on any car and you trade it in or sell it. They have to give you back a refund of the unused portion of the warranty. Most people do not know that and they just give these dealers money without knowing. They will in fact stall and do everything not to give you back that money but they will cut you a check eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiaCobra Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Ron, Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell us where you learned the warranty that you previously purchased was no good? Glad to see you got your money back. Good luck with your KR EDIT to add: I see you purchased the KR I was looking at in VA. I ended up getting one closer to home. - Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about getting the one in VA first. What color did you get? Thanks Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiaCobra Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Ron, thanks for showing the KR crowd the process for getting a refund if the dealer plays games. As for the car you purchased, I was inquiring about it last October. I passed due to getting a similar deal for a car closer to my location. Like yourself, I got a Vista Blue KR. Don't forget to register your car with Shelby. If you didn't do so already, take a look at the bottom of my "signature" line. You'll see a link there to register your KR. - Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
