Extended Warranty for 2017 on order

[MHalberstadt]

Ordered a new Laramie Mega cab Dec 5th from Dennis Dillion Dodge in Boise.

Would appreciate advice on extended warranty.

Is extended warranty from Chrysler?

How much are the extended and does the dealer negotiate?

Is an extended warranty worth it? I use truck for daily driver plus tow a fifth wheel about 15k a year.

Thx
Mike

At my age, this is probably my last truck. It's used to pull the 5th wheel in my signature. I went with the FCA 8 year/125K mile extended warranty with $100 deductible.

RustyJc, what was your cost??

 

[Cummins12V98]

Personally one should negotiate the warranty BEFORE signing on the dotted line.

I have the 7 year 120K bumper to bumper ZERO deductible Factory warranty. Can't remember price somewhere around $2,500 ?

 

[Newsa]

$1800 for 7 year/70,000 mi. $100 deductible.


My rationale...... Since the 7 years includes the 3 year bumper to bumper, i paid up front $450/year for the additional 4 years for a truck I paid roughly $40,000 for.

THX for your replies

My last purchase of an extended warranty, was the 7/100 from Chrysler in 2004. Found out later, that the vent door fiasco wasn't covered under that warranty but was informed had I purchased the better of two offered it would have been. Moral of the story, check all options first before you purchase an extended warranty.

Forgot to mention. I have Max Care.

Just make sure it's a Mopar warranty and not some aftermarket POS. When I bought my '16 from Dillon in April, they tried to sell me the warranty but the F&I guy was using terminology that didn't sound like the OEM warranty. The sales literature they gave me said nothing about it being an OEM warranty. I passed because the F&I guy was being too cute and coy about it.

As the electronics increase, the factory extended plans become more valuable. Something that may have been replacement of a simple mechanical part 15-20 years ago, now results in issues with the body control module and other electronic controls. And if a BCM fails, it will take a LOT of things with it. The benefit of the factory plans over the aftermarket ones... very simple: the OEM wants you satisfied and back to buy your next new ride from them, so they are motivated to cover a repair. The aftermarket companies are in it for the financial "bet" and will make it far more difficult because they're not in the business of paying for repairs.

You can buy a factory extended plan from any authorized dealer at any time through the end of the 3/36 warranty - you don't have to buy before talking delivery, nor do you have to buy from the selling dealer. A number of dealers recognize this and sell them just above cost to any customer who qualifies for one - the sales volume makes up for the margin.

Definately buy within the first year. Price goes up as you get closer to the end of your 3/36. That is if you decide to buy a warranty. Chrysler invests that money so if they are sitting on yiur money for 3 years, they can give a better price.

Extended guarantees are a HUGE money maker for the dealership. The mark-up is somewhere around 50% which is why the push them so hard. There is a ton of wiggle room in your negotiations Remind them that IF you use it it will be at their dealership. Might help, might not...

Ditto. A dealer sold me a third party warranty with my previous 2011 Ram. It was just about worthless - they tried every trick in the book to avoid paying for anything. I would never have a 3rd party warranty again. That's why I went with the Max Care this time.

Thanks for the table thats exactly what I needed.

Before this post I didn't know there were deductibles available.

I will definitely but an extended warranty and from FCA

This is a quote from a previous thread..... Titled "Extend Warranty"

" [h=4]User Info Menu[/h]

Spoke with Chrysler Warranty Direct (888-352-6103) and they quoted 7/75/100D for $1315.00 and 8/120/100D for $2470.00. Truck is a 2016 Ram 3500 Diesel. Same prices as Riedman Motors.

Person I spoke with said trim level does not matter. Year, months in service, diesel/gas, mileage, and model 2500/3500 are the factors. "

So there may be different tables for 2500 vs. 3500. And there may be tables that are dependent on the other parameters that FCA considers when pricing warranties??????

Bought mine from my credit union where I got loan. Feel confident I will get good service if needed. 6yr/100000 mile, no deductible, $1500. Got 7 year loan for 1.45%!

What did you get from your credit union for $1500

Bumper to bumper.

 

[RustyJC]

Bumper to bumper.

Who's the provider? Easy Ride or ????

You won't be dealing with your credit union when you need warranty coverage; you and the servicing shop/dealer will be dealing with the 3rd party warranty company. A dealer sold me the Easy Ride warranty with my previous 2011 Ram - I thought I was getting the FCA warranty, but that's another story. I used it twice, and both times they tried every trick in the book to weasel out of paying for what should have been covered. They even rejected coverage on a sensor/harness problem claiming that it was a "factory defect".

That's why I bought my 8/120 $100 deductible Max Care warranty on the 2016 from Chrysler Warranty Direct.
