Default Re: 7/70 Extended Bumper to Bumper Warranty Info

But I still get plenty of looks at my Black Roaster because nobody else has one. Anyways I am getting off track here. I decided to look into an extended warranty and found that my local Dealership wanted $2,350 for the 7/70 Bumper to Bumper and on top of that wanted the money up front. Well I decided to do a little checking and found a dealership on line that sold me the same exact warranty for $1,470 and let me make 12 payments on it. They also offer 3 years worth of oil changes for $210 (up to 15 oils changes during the 3 years).

I am not usually big on buying Extended Warranties but everything I have read on the Crossfire and all the electrical involved with the Roadster I figured I am better off spending the money now for piece of mind. The reason I am telling you all this is to let you know that there is an option to walking into your local dealer and paying there retail price for the Chrysler Factory Warranty. Here is the site in case you are interested:

I hope this is not too long for my first post.

I will finish by saying I never thought a car that cost under $70K could have this much of an effect on me and I can not think of a car that is under $50K that I would want in place of my Roadster right now. I guess you can say I am a very happy new Crossfire owner.

Thanks,

Look into third party extended warranty. I opted for that instead of going with DC's warranty. Got mine up to 5 yrs/100K miles bumper to bumper. I think a bigger advantage of third party is that you can take it to any authorized repair shop you want, which includes Mercedes dealerships.

And if you really need to take your car to the dealer for repair, go to West LA Buerge Chrysler. Been going there after a real bad experience at La Brea Chrysler.
