Transferable Coverage
If you sell your vehicle before your Lincoln
Extended Service Plan coverage expires,
you can transfer any remaining coverage to
the new owner. Whenever you sell your
vehicle, prospective buyers may have a
higher degree of confidence that vehicle was
properly maintained with Lincoln ESP,
thereby improving resale value.
