We have mentioned extended warrenties before and how much we got them for, but we never discussed what extended warrenties we opted to get.

I had a problem initially with the dealer lying about the powertrain warrenty so after discussing the issue for a while we deicded on 1,995 for the 7 year 100,000 mile Maximum Care package.

What extended warrenty did you guys pick up and how much it was ? Also do you guys feel we will need it alot? Just wondering guys!

I didn't get any of the warranty upgrades. Usually they are not worth it IMO. Others will disagree.

I will be modding the hell out of the car anyways the first chance I get

I thought about that too. I tried to weight it all out and in the end I decided: If it was any other vehicle I wouldn't have gotten the warrenty, but this is a first year car that has alot of power (power=problems :lol: sometimes) and with my financial situation so shakey all the time I really needed some peace of mind. At least I *know* this car will last to 100k miles which is almost good enough for me!

It's not an extended warranty, it pays for your first 5 years of maintenance, comes with Automate paint protection, and the roadside service crap blah blah.

I opted out of the extended warranty. My theory was that if it didn't break in the first 36,000 miles, it probably won't. Just my thinking though.

I kinda disagree... It seems now a days, things go wrong at about 4-5 years, and it gets exspensive.

Yeah, the fact that this *is* an everyday driver for me and not some hotrod makes a big difference. I am still trying to figure out how the Mopar mods will affect the warrenty though . . .

Yeah and first year cars are usually pretty iffy (Look at the first year the Dodge Ram was redesigned '95 or 96 I think it was). Also with the sheer cost of this car to fix if something went wrong . . its not like fixing a basic RWD, Normally aspirated, family sedan. . .I just got the stresses at the last minutes

and decided some kind of warrenty was needed.

Anyone know how Mopar mods will affect the warrenty. . like if I got the Stage I or II upgrade with the Mopar BOV, and TT, and suspension stuff and something went wrong with like the Turbo or the engine and even if the mopar parts are at fault what would the service implications be?

It covers all wear parts, including brake pads, cv boots, gaskets etc. However oddly enough I still have to pay the deductables.

It also has added coverages, not just the "Interally lubricated parts" crap etc etc.

I paid $2k

Almost forgot

Does that include regular maintenance like oil changes and tune ups? that sounds pretty awesome. . . how much does it cost?

Yes it does cover oil changes, and tuneups. Just about everything is covered for the first 5 years, after that, its the 7/100 normal warranty.

The PVO upgrades are covered under the warranty 7/100 for sure.

Yes the standard warranty is 7/100.

It gets better, the 36k service is $500-600

0 for me though :wink:

I just have to ninja my mods, so they can be removed easily without messing with the stock parts.

This cant be happening . . . I got a 3,195 warrenty (I didnt pay that much but thats the DC MSRP) I have to get some sort of aid or help with those insane maintenance costs. . right? It says in the pamphlet "this plan provides you with cupons covering most of your vehicles recommended maintenance services outlined in the owners manual" WHEN Do I get those cupons!?!?

Oh ok, sounds like you do have something similiar to what I have then. Perhaps my dealer included extras. As for the coupons, they should have been given to you or have been mailed. For some reason I got my manual in the mail. They couldn't find it :roll:

Did they include paint sealent protection aswell? Automate is what I have on mine.

Paint Sealent protetection?.. that seems a little iffy.. did you actually see them put something on the paint?,, what is it?,, like a plastic based coat of something?.... because, technically, a Paint sealant protection could be a coat of wax?. ya know?

Vanilla_Coke

Yes I know what it is, it is a WAX. It seals the paint for 6 months. I have had it done to my Frontier, and I tell you it helps.
