Another thought for your newly purchased 07 from CarMax- I too purchased an 07 last year and discovered that extended warranties are available. You can buy one from Chrysler (in which I did) or other companies that cover any vehicle. I paid $3200 to Chrysler but the cost varied from dealer to dealer over $1000. Other companies are less price. I have used the warranty 2x, had the vehicle towed 1X (only $100 coverage for towing thus far) but I figured that any Mercedes engine is very costly to repair. Since your vehicle may not be running now, I don't know what the wait time to use the warranty would be if any. If you have the bucks, I highly suggest the extended warranty. There is a $100 fee for any repair that is covered under the warranty. Visit any Chrysler dealer and let them sell you, take lots of notes and ask many questions. I'm glad I purchased the warranty. Many on the forum would say I overpaid for the CF but if you purchased from CarMax, you paid "top" dollar as compared to a private party. The private owner just bought new tires and replaced the front windshield due to some chips in the glass at eye level. I figured I would own the CF for quite sometime and would enjoy every extra penny that may have over paid. I have the "mercedes" edition that was highly criticized on the forum 6 months prior to the private owner placing the ad again. The Chrysler IS a Mercedes. I don't know if the owner was on the forum but he took very good care of the vehicle. Every time I rub a damn curb, ding a door, I apologize to him, out loud! Good luck, the CF is fun to drive. The forum is a great place for some great advice from very knowledgeable CF owners. Rudy Compart is great. When does he return?
