I'm trading my Skoda (had a sore back ever since I've had it) for a 65 plate Focus.
Been quoted £385 or so for 2-year extended warranty.
I know there was a recall as pre-2015 builds had coolant pipe leaks resulting in total engine failure, and I still read that the problem has now shifted elsewhere.. I'm thinking it might be peace of mind but it's not a small sum. Would you go for it?
For sure, it was worth it on the SKODA as it was in the garage several times (lambda sensor replacement).
Thoughts?

After our previous Citroen, I took out an extended warranty when we bought our Toyota. That turned out to be a complete waste of money. 3 and half years later and we have only had to do routine stuff (servicing/MOT/tyres) on it.
What I did notice, with the benefit of hindsight, is that there were a lot of exclusions in the small print. It would have covered us if the engine blew up, but there were several things that weren't covered.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
It should have had had an end of warranty check done - ask to see it as it will tell you of any gremlins they had to fix.
Is it a Ford dealership or a private garage? If dealership they should give you 6/12 months on stuff like engines anyway.
Dealership...
How could a lambda sensor cost £2k @bobblehat?? Are you sure about that?

The car I just bought, the dealer actually advised me *not* to take one out, even though he did sell them if the customer really wanted. He said they were worthless or worse, and that was before I told him about my experience...
