Default Re: For those who've bought Chrysler extended warranties

Don't need it? Guess again my friend. Bought a "Certified 2004 Mercedes C240 4 Matic" beautiful car. Certification paid for an immediate problem, Steering Angle Sensor, a problem our cars have too......600 bucks. 1 year later when the Certification runs out I buy a 2 year bumper to bumper. $1900. Yeah a lot of money I thought but we love the car. 4 months later I notice a clunking in the steering (50k miles on the car) $1100. repair. This past summer our AC/Heater blower seizes and instead of blowing the fuse the dash catchs on fire. $3000. repair. This fall while in for service they notice a problem with something else under the car. Another $1100 repair. So far the car has needed $5800 in repairs. My cost - $50 for the deductible that the dealer usually eats, he couldn't when we had the fire. So total I'm out of pocket $1950 for $5800 worth of repairs and you tell people they don't need it?
I disagree. I have a three year, 70k bumper to bumper w/$100 deductible on the Crossfire. Cost me 1200$ and I consider it well spent considering what it costs to repair these cars.
