Default Re: Extended warranties

Sorry to hear you traded in your MGB. Nice car but you did get another nice one to replace it.

My suggestion is read the entire warranty carefully. Look for the outs Chrysler is going to take. Are they really going to live up to it? Do you want the flexibility to take it anywhere to be repaired or are you stuck with Chrysler? At what point will they say it costs to much to repair? Dealers will NOT put in after market or other dealers parts (Read Mercedes parts) under a warranty. They will not get paid by Chrysler/Fiat for the labor or parts.

You lived with a car that was hard to get repaired unless you did the work yourself or had a great mechanic over the age of 50. I may be wrong. It seems to me that your MGB was not your daily driver and I am assuming the Xfire would not be either. How many miles did you have on the MGB? Where you the orginal owner? If they traded you even for a Xfire it must have been in superb shape. If you survived no rust on you doors and door sill then do not even need to worry about that Xfire.

If it was me, I would have them buy you a lifetime on the power train and buy an extended warranty with the most months from some one else. Just MHO.

PS Is that MGB for sale? If please email me the dealer's telephone number. My wife will kill me but I was always sorry I sold that car.
