DC extended Wnty

[thames1948]

With all this computer stuff on the 600 is it worth getting DC's extended wnty or just stick with the 3/36000? I also have the auto trans.

The computer stuff is exactly whi I did get the extension, diagonistics alone can take a big bite out of your money. It's gone beyond the average wrench turner that I think I am.

Depends on a lot of things, such as if you plan on bombing, how long you plan on keeping the truck, etc. I got the ext. warranty on mine because I do not plan on bombing, and intend to keep the truck for a long time. One other thing to keep in mind is that the ext. warranty covers a lot of the DC weak links - AC evaporators, front end parts (no idea how well the 3rd gens will hold up compared to the 2nd gens yet), etc.

What kinda prices are you getting quoted on the extended warranty ? And from what dealer?

 

[mbaston]

There are also other companies (reputable) that sell extended warranties for 40% of what Dailmer sells them for.

Will be picking up my new 04. 5 in a few weeks, so I have a few questions when it comes time to close the deal.



How much is the extended warranty??



What about this oil change package they sell, a good deal or not?



Were you able to beat them down on the price?



From my personal experience ususally it is not a good deal for the consumer to get extended warrantys... . but for the right price, I guess they could be of value.

I kept my last truck for 30 years so both the extended warranty and the oil change lube pkg. were a good deal for me. I'm not sure what the extended warranty cost me but the oil pkg. was $540 for as long as me or my wife live, every 3 months or 3K miles up to four times a year. I have always run synthetics but at three gal. a change plus filters I couldn't pass. Larry

I got the 7 year 100K $100 ded. service contract for $1995. Retail is about $2300. If I never use it, I'll still be happy.

I always get the D/C warranty. It doesn't take many trips to the service department to pay for it and if you are on the road, your trip would not be quite as ruined .

On the DC wnty, do they really stand by it with no hassel? or do they come up with reasons why your not covered? I have heard stories like this ,so I am leary of buying it, but to get 30% off I have to make up my mind today. We picked up our new 600 yesterday and my wife loves it so much that I haven't got to drive it yet.

 

[Dean Upson]

It has been my experience that they have stood by it, I really don't see how they cannot. I have been at the service department when folks have tried to get "brand x" honored without success.

just got a price for it. 7yr/85000 mile added care for 990. 00

7yr/85000 maxie care 1410. 00 From what he was saying the added care covers most stuff that cost the big bucks. Am thinking 7yr/85000 because my wive will be using as a daily driver and thats about the milage on her car worked out.

 

[muzzy]
