    Good place to buy a Ford ESP, rather than paying full price at dealer?

    So I asked this question on the Raptor site I post on, and seems guys over there are not as up to speed as this group is LOL.

    So I purchased my Raptor last week, and the dealer wanted over a grand for a 60/60 PremiumCare ESP. Not a bad deal, but I see prices on-line at 30-40% lower, so I canceled and decided I would shop it out.

    So the question is, has anyone purchased a true Ford ESP on-line, and from what site? And how was it compared to the dealer price?

    Thanks in advance!!!

    ..don't know about actual online purchase...but I got a dealer to match what I could do online...you just have to convince them you will walk otherwise.....good luck

    I have heard there are some sites that sell ESP plans that aren't really ESP plans (I think Ford has been going after some of these sites in the past). I don't fully recall though.

    You can get it from any dealer - some want the big markups on them, some will be happy to make a small profit for the 20 minutes it takes to sell it.

    If you can find it on-line from a Ford dealer (or as Badcat said - use that price to have your local dealer price match it), then you're good to go.

    I think that's the key............I think the sites Ford was going after were not dealerships, but online storefronts selling policies that looked/smelled like an ESP.
