Warranty for a newer but used truck?

[270quest]

Simple question - would you buy a warranty on a used truck purchase? As I mentioned in another thread, I recently purchased a 2017 F150 XLT 2.7, 6 speed 4x4 with 62,000 miles on it for my son. Super clean vehicle with a clean Carfax and one owner. Had a mechanic look it over before he purchased it, and the only thing he mentioned was it may be a good idea for preventative fluid changes and sparkplugs at 100k.

I have the ability to buy an extended warranty through the local ford dealer, their ford platinum warranty, which would cover four years or 48,000 miles and it’s like $4200. Do you think it would be worth it?

Part of the reason I bought a 17 with the 2.7 and the six speed was that seemed to be the most reliable combo on used Fords and I’m not sure if the warranty is really worth it.

You might try pricing it with Granger Ford or Ziegler Ford online...both offer the factory Ford warranties much cheaper than local dealers usually.

I wouldn't.

I tried pricing it other places - didn’t change much.
