Question on repairs and warranty

I am new to the FGT scene so I am not familiar with repairs and how often they might be beeded vs the car is almost bullet proof. I can get a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty for $16,000 with a cap of $50,000 Does this seem s like a "you need it" "you don't need it" "I would roll the dice"

Any help is appreciated.

Who has a warranty like that? Are you sure they know it is a GT and not a mustang? Better find out what they expense parts at, that is the problem.

The warranty was offered from the dealer I bought the car from. So they do know it is a FGT

You could easily get it back on some parts like headlights if they fail, but like all insurance policies, will you need it...

As heavily as some advertise I was tempted to call one to see what they had to say

Check to see if the GTGuys (or your GT potential repair shop) recognize/accept this specific warranty company.

Ok, insurance from the dealership but who is actually covering the deal? Some company must be issuing the coverage? Or brokering?

$16,000 for a 5-year warranty is pretty expensive, so that must account for it as a Ford GT. Be careful of aftermarket warranty companies. They frequently go tits-up when claims exceed reserves.
