You guys might want to consider refinancing with a credit union and take them up that deal. It was $1,400 bucks with a $100 dollar deductible (there were several other plans but this one fit me the best). This is for 7 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper coverage. I can have as many claims as I need too (hopefully this won't be needed though).
Still best to check the fine print on all the aftermarket warranties. Any limitations to covered parts and usage of non-DCX parts (not that it may be possible). And, it's hard to find a general ASE certified mechanic that knows much about the Crossfire except at Chrysler... and even then, only a few dealers seemed to have trained techs on the Xfire. But hey, if it works for ya, go for it. We paid a bit more ($500) for DCX coverage, but we get a rental car for the entire period the car is in service... worked out great since any repair seems to take 2 days at least, mainly due to parts acquisition time.
