MaxCare Waranty--Took the Plunge

[wyosteve]

Well, for the first time on my 8th Ram/Cummins since 1991, I took the plunge and bought the extended MaxCare warranty. Plan to do more traveling once I retire so wanted peace of mind if I have problems on the road. Guess I'll know in 8 yrs. if it was worth it. One encouraging thing-- I asked the rep. what would happen if FCA files bankruptcy or sells before the expiration of the warranty period and she claims they have a separate fund set aside which would be exempt from bankruptcy proceedings. If true, that's great. I'm hoping the same fund would survive a sale as well.

I have had my 2015 at dealers 4 times for flashes and recalls, and getting a loaner or free rental vehicle is part of the MaxCare Warranty benefits. I will be happy if it never has an issue in the 120K/8 years. Only one of three warranties I have ever purchased. 1. VCR recorder/player - never used it. 2. Up grade appliances in our part model which was a bargin. 3. The MaxCare.

I agree with Sno. Never bought ext warranty's in the past, but I did after 1 year ownership of my 2016

I just picked up a 15 with 60k miles. I guess it is too late for extended coverage?

Not necessarily. You have options

Care to expand on that?
I bought the truck down south from a F&$# dealer. Now I need a local one.

A friend also has a 14 Durango, just bought out the lease. I told him about the max care, he inquired, and they sold it to him. I think he has 30k on the clock. It cost more than mine, but he's sleeping well now.
