If you ever wondered about Warranty
Hey guys,
I just got done sending an E-mail to someone in Florida. After looking at it, i thought it might be helpful to some people on the board.
Something I didn't tell you yesterday is about how the warranty breaks down from year to year and car to car. I'll try to break this down as simple as possible.
2004-2005
If you bought or leased a new Crossfire (non-SRT-6) the original warranty was 3 yr/36,000 mile and it also included a 7 yr/70,000 mile Powertrain Warranty. This applied to any PRIVATE sold unit. Fleet / Rental cars were exempt from the 7/70. The powertrain warranty is transferable to the following owners. There is a $150 transfer fee to the SECOND owner.
This is where it gets stupid. Some 2005 cars don't have any transfer fee, some do. Some 2005 cars can only have the Powertrain Warranty transferred once to the 2nd owner, some have the warranty stay with the car until the warranty expires no matter how many times it gets sold. This is another reason to look at buying from a Chrysler Dealer. Also most of your sales people won't have a clue what I'm talking about right now, so if you do find one, I would ask to speak to a sales manager or finance manager to help out.
2006-2007
In 2006 Chrysler dropped the 7/70,000 mile Powertrain Warranty. These cars have only a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty. This is why we Certify most of our 2006 models.
Certification
This is where you can get an additional 8 yr/80,000 mile Powertrain Warranty as well as an additional 3 months and 3,000 miles added to the factory 3 / 36. This can be added to any eligible car. It includes a copy of the Clean CarFax, a 125 point inspection, Tires must meet minimum tread depth, brake pad thickness, and it also must have both keys, floormats and the owners manual. This also includes the extra's of roadside assistance, towing, car rental, flat service, out of gas, lock out, battery jump, etc.
Feel free to print this and take it with you if you do any shopping down that way. If I can't sell you a car, I want to at least make sure that you aren't taken advantage of. I will get you a coupe if we can put a deal together. I purchase cars for customers at the sale all the time. Just let me know what you want me to do.
Thanks again,
Tod
