My factory warranty ends Feb 2010. I usually buy my warranties from my credit union because they are cheaper and I can take it to any licensed mechanic even mercedes. So heres the low down. 3 choices.

Bumper to Bumper except wear and tear parts. $50 deductible and miles are added to current mileage not capped off like other warranties. Only condition is factory warranty has to still have 6 mos and 6,000 remaining, which mine does. I am at 5,007miles. I'm mainly looking at months since I'll never run out of miles on the warranty. I'm leaning towards the 36 months one since this is the longest I've kept a car, but would like to have a warranty if I sold it.

24 months - additional 24,000 miles = $1415.00

36 months - additional 36,000 miles = $1913.00

48 months - additional 48,000 miles = $2714.00

It's not a chrysler warranty, but I've used this company before on a previous car and never had any claims turned down. The LO thought it was expensive compared to other cars, but I explained why.

 

I will confirm this when I get the car back from the dealer BUT ... I also purchased my extended warranty from my credit union on a 2007 Crossfire with 7000 miles on it when I bought warranty. I put on an additional 72 months and 70,000 milkes to the basic 36/36000. I will confirm the actual numbers but they are close. I paid $1300. I also bought the life time warranty on the drive train from Chrysler for $970. It is my understanding that you can NOT buy the lifetime on the SRT. Maybe your warranty is high because it is a SRT. Call another credit union or ask yours to compare a Limited to the SRT.

Like you I have had good luck with my credit union warranty in the past.

 

You're asking for opinions, right? I bought an extended for my roadster strictly because I was worried about all the cables working the softop. Four years and 32k miles, not a problem other than a TPM error light.

The SRT6 had the intercooler and sensor replaced under warranty. If it fails again, I'll go with Bosch or Ford part as recommended on the forum. Otherwise the SRT6 has been solid in the year and 6k miles (it has 14k total) I have driven it.

I'm constantly amazed by the posts from members who have these extended warranties, and the failed component is not covered. There are apparently a fair number of components, esp electrical, that are no covered. And "wear and tear" can cover a lot of failures.

If I had it to do over, I would have not bought the extended warranty. That $1400 would be in the bank as a nest egg for future repairs.

 

Thanks very much. As it is I don't take my car in for repairs and would only use it for a major issue. I tend to agree with both of you, that I don't see much problems arising that I can't change myself. I did my own pump and upgrades, even did the oil leak covers myself. I frankly don't trust my local dealership.

Hawk Monster - yea the LO told me the SRT6 was quite a bit more. Usually they offer up to 75,000 miles but the SRT6 came back at 48k max add on.

 

Hey Cruzin, I may be wrong but that seems extreamly high to me.
We havw extendeds on three of our vehicals and they seem to be as good as they come. I do however have 100 dollar deductables on the bumper to bumpers but that still seems like a very small price to pay.

I know it's quite a bit more than the 5yr/75k warranty I bought from them on my 05' Chevy Truck for $900. I would gladly pay $250 per visit if it was half price, just because I wouldn't be taking it in for something small. I'm going to ask if they have a cheaper warranty package. Many thanks.
