On the last page there is signature field that requires the seller to sign...as well as the buyer...furthermore you have the option to take these docs to a DC rep, or simply mail it in to complete the transfer...
I'll post the outcome after my documents get processed. Perhaps you're right and I'm wrong, but according to the actual documents that I have the cost is quoted as $40...no more no less...
ewd,
what you are transferring is the "extended warranty" (more accurately a service plan) that the previous owner purchased to cover repair cost above and beyond the limitations of the manufacturer's warranty (basic 3/36 and powertrain 7/70). such plans typically incorporate a small transfer fee such as the $40 you paid.
the $150 fee is specific to the transfer of the 7 yr/70k mi Powertrain warranty provided by Chrysler on 2004-2005 Crossfires (excluding SRT-6) from the original owner to the second owner only. the 7/70 warranty was included with no additional charge to the original buyer. it kicks in after the 3/36 warranty expires and has a $100 deductible for each needed repair.
if you bought a Crossfire (w/in the last 30 days) and are the 2nd owner you may be eligible to transfer the powertrain warranty. but this may not be necessary depending on the provisions of your service contract. i.e., make sure that your service contract covers all the powertrain components during the 7/70 timeframe.
