So I called my local Ford dealer inquiring about the MP215 kit, which I will plan on purchasing in the very near future. The price he quoted me was $1498.50 CAD. This is roughly $100 more than if I were to buy directly from Mountune USA which sells for $1367.69 (rough price after currency exchange to CAD).
So my consumer instict obviously steers me towards buying the kit directly from Mountune to save a bit of cash. However, the dealer mentioned something that has me second-guessing my decision which I haven't been able to find any info on.
Apparently, if purchased directly from Mountune, any warranty claims would have to be made directly with them (which could be difficult due to their location), whereas on the other hand, if purchased from the Ford dealership, warrantly claims would be made to Ford Performance as the kit would be "registered with Ford". These are his words, not mine.
Can anyone shed some light here? My consumer instict senses that this dealer is just trying to get the sale... right? Or do I really have to purchase through them (and install too I guess) in order to make warranty claims less burdensome?
Does this also apply to other warranty-approved parts, such as the Mountune short shifter and the Ford Racing exhaust system? I plan on buying these too at some point.
