I just got the 7 yr, 50000 mile coverage for $1900. The 7 years starts from the build date, so in effect I bought coverage for @2.5 yrs! My car only has 17000 miles, and in no way do I expect to put on 33000 miles in 2.5 yrs. I know it sounds exspensive for the 2.5 yrs, but peace of mind in invaluable. I have an SRT, and if the SC goes, or the IC. or the mechanism for the top goes south, those thing alone are mega $$$$. Actually, anything that moves is covered, but be sure to understand just what is excluded when you sign up.
I figure, that after this runs out, I look for a 3rd party warranty, but as long as the car was eligible to get the Maxcare from Chrysler, I definitely went with that. Hope this helps a little. Oh ...by the way, I felt it was important to get a local "viable" Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer that had certified crossfire techs there. I actually talked with a couple of them to verify.
I got the $50 deductible....
I'm confused; from the way I interpret the information on the Chrysler website, the coverage starts on the first day of service (delivery to first owner) and not the build date, for vehicles purchased new, and from the date of the contract for vehicles purchased used. See
CSC Frequently Asked Questions
"New Vehicle Service Contract coverage and Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Service Contract coverage begin on the vehicle's warranty start date (the date the vehicle was delivered to its original owner) and at zero miles. This coverage does not begin upon expiration of the new vehicle warranty.
For example: Your vehicle's warranty start date is July 1, 2009 and the odometer reads 10,000 miles. You purchase a 5-Year / 60,000-Mile Maximum Care service contract on November 1, 2009. Your coverage starts on July 1, 2009 and expires on July 1, 2014 or when your odometer reads 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Traditional Pre-Owned Vehicle Service Contract coverage and most – but not all – Convenience and Maintenance (non-mechanical) coverage begin on the date and mileage when you purchase the contract.
For example: You purchase a pre-owned 2006 Chrysler vehicle on August 1, 2009 and the odometer reads 50,000 miles. On the same day, you purchase a 2-Year / Unlimited Mileage traditional Pre-Owned service contract. Your coverage starts on August 1, 2009 and expires on August 1, 2011."
Is this different from the Maxcare contract under discussion here?
