I am buying an 04 Coupe with 25,xxx miles. Owner tells me it has the 7/70 warranty. How do I transfer the warranty into my name?

Also, is there a way for someone to tell me when this car was put into production?

Thanks

 

I do not think that the warranty is transferrable unless it is purchased in North Carolina...

 

i'm almost positive the bumper to bumper warranty is transferrable between owners... the lifetime powertrain (if applicable) is not transferrable however. i believe you can go into your dealer and they will transfer the warranty into your name.

 

I was asking about the 7/70 power train warranty.

 

oh my apologies... i am not sure about the 7/70 powertrain it may be different from the lifetime powertrain. if you do have bumper to bumper left i know that can be transferred... but i'm not sure about the powertrain id say just make a trip to the local dealer and ask. the worst they can do is say no.

 

There is a $150.00 to $250.00 charge to transfer the 3/36 (if applicable) & 7/70 and must be done at a dealership. Make sure that the seller is the original owner....warranties can only be transferred once. use the link below they may be able to steer you in the right direction.

So if I am the 3rd or later owner, the car is without warranty? Can you tell anything from the VIN? 1c3an69lx4x002989

Thanks

 

You should still be covered by the 7/70 warranty. Your VIN suggests you have an early model 2004 (manufactured during the summer of 2003).

Below is a cut-and-paste of info I offered in another post a while back:

The answer to this question depends on the date of manufacture of the vehicle. This date can be found on the driver side door jamb. If the 2004 Crossfire was built before 10/1/2003, the 7/70 transfers automatically to any subsequent owners without any additional paperwork or fees. There is a $100 deductible for covered repairs though. If the car was built on or after 10/1/2003, the powertrain warranty is transferable only to the 2nd owner (not to third or subsequent owners) and the transfer has to be made in writing by a Chrysler dealer within 30 days of the date of your purchase. There would also be a $150 transfer fee you would have to pay. There are a few other limitations or restrictions so the best thing to do is read the warranty booklet that came with the vehicle, provided it's there.

On Chrysler's website they have a pdf of the warranty coverage you can download. However, there were two distinct warranty coverages as explained above, but Chrysler only has the latter manual on their site.

I hope this helps.

 

7/70 warranty is ONLY valid for the first owner and the second owner of the car. If you are the third owner, Sorry about that. (you can call the service department of any chrysler dealer to check if you are the second owner or not on thair file, or going through other parties such as Carfax)

For the second owner, you need to pay $150 to transfer the warranty. You can do it at the chrysler dealer. But regarding the $150 fee, someone says it is more, some says less. But in the warranty manual, it says $150.

 

So this is NOT true?

 

I transferred the warranty on my 04 Crossfire when I bought it in December. It was $150. However, and I am quite sure about this, it is only transferrable to the second owner. If you're the 3rd owner, you're out of luck with the 7/70, but there are other warranty possibilities out there, albeit more pricey.

 

I was the 2nd owner went to a dealer and paid 150.00 for powertrain transfer, Glad I did it as thats what paid for my new engine

 

Some dealers do not charge the 150.00 others do , if you are a 3rd owner you are out of luck

 

So RobM was just flat-out wrong?

 

i am not sure.... but if you are 3rd owner, its not covered by what i was told.....
