I've been searching the site over the weekend for a likely purchase in the next month. Is there a thread with all of the Warranty and Servcie Maintenance Plans? The Chrystler maintenance plan site has 3 options and their descriptions seem to be break/fix except for the "convenience" which is only oil changes. Here is what i've seen around the site that people are purchasing. I'd like to collect all of the details.

Lifetime Warranty - Lifetime warranty through Jeep at purchase

Maxlife Warranty - Lifetime warranty through Chrysler

No-cost Maintenance Plus - 3-years / 36,000 miles - – valued at $1,100 – includes $0 deductible, free oil and oil filter changes, scheduled and recommended maintenance and a $35 per day rental car allowance. The program also offers $1,000 trip interruption coverage, which provides up to $1,000 for lodging, meals and car rental if a vehicle breaks down under warranty more than 100 miles from home.

One of the things I tell everyone, my deal on new Jeeps isn't meant to be the best deal, it's meant to be a great no hassle, no BS deal. I sell all new CJD products excluding SRTs for 1% to 2% under invoice less any other incentives you qualify for. 1% to 2% under could be anywhere from $300 under invoice to $900 under depending on the vehicle. That's my deal and you don't even have to play the games to get it.

I'm going to do special ext warranty pricing as well. The point of this is very simple. Can you do better than my pricing, the answer is yes. Is my deal easy, quick and still a great deal, the answer is yes. My pricing on ext warranties won't be the best, it's not meant to be. I'll be posting cost as well as what I will sell the ext warranty for. For some on here, they will think my pricing on new vehicles and ext warranties is too high. That's fine with me, what I offer is the easiest, hassle free experience that most of you want and complain about not getting.


I apologize to the OP for going off topic, but look for my ext warranty info later this week.

http://www.chryslerfactoryplans.com - Many members have gone

2150 for Lifetime with 100 deductible. They also send you a coupon when you get a quote and then don't buy within a day or two for another 100+ off. Lastly if your within 1yr and 12,000 miles it is $150 less then what I told you up there--- so its 2000 plus wait for the 180 or so dollar coupon brings it down to like 1800-1850.



Check this thread for some good info.

I found the other website.. It is http://chryslerwarrantys.com/

They also send a coupon almost instantly after you get a quote its for $190 coupon. ChryslerWarrantys is more money so I provided the cheaper one first which was chryslerfactoryplans.

ChryslerWarrantys quotes 2399 lifetime 100 deductible or 2249 if under 12month 1/yr. Plus that coupon, brings it down to 2,059

Before you do anything I think it would be wise to definitely wait and see what Pat can offer us forum members as it is great to be able to take advantage of a great deal and also support a forum vendor.

Below is some information regarding the oil change plan Chrysler offers:

Cheapest I have seen on the oil change plan. Although almost any dealer will match these prices for the oil change service contract. You can even call chrysler service contracts and they offered the same price on the phone for a few of the years.

I apologize but that just cracks me up. I needed a laugh today.

IMO, forum members should buy where it is the cheapest as long as it is a Chrysler warranty. One of the biggest and cheapest online sellers of the ext warranties is a dealer in Michigan. The issue I have with them is if you live in Michigan they won't sell the warranty to you for the price advertised.

There's a lot more then two dealers that sell online those two I posted are popular on the forums for ease of purchase and cheap no haggle pricing. They are real dealerships in the united states.

This is directly from the "Company Information" section of chryslerfactoryplans.com's page:

"This is the same plan that your local dealership may have offered you at a much higher price. These are real Chrysler Service Contracts and are honored at all Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships in the United States, Canada and Mexico"

I just bought the $100 deductible Lifetime Maximum Care for $2,000 at www.chryslerfactoryplans.com. I have a 4x4 otherwise I think it would be $150 cheaper for the 4x2. Make sure you select "5/100 Powertrain Warranty" for 2011 WK2 and NOT just the "3/36 Factory Warranty Only" which is the default selection on that website.

I am not a buyer of extended warranties in general (bought one on my first Grand Cherokee --- first model year of GC's back in the 90's that paid off, but that was the only time). However, seeing the vehicles are now more complicated AND in Florida (I live in Florida) the Lifetime Maximum Care IS TRANSFERABLE for a $40 fee (will really help on resale I hope) (Florida is $40 and North Carolina is $50...the other 48 states are out of luck since the Lifetime is NOT transferable).

What you all think???
 
#25 ·
Yep --- for me too. I woulda selected a lesser plan but Lifetime Max for $2K was too good for resale. Almost toyed with the $0 deduct for one heck of a resale deal.

Risk is you total the vehicle...then gotta get a new one and say goodbye to warranty.

^^^ Dunno. All it states is that it is transferable in Florida. I would think it would NOT matter who the buyer is. Moreover, the contract was sold in Florida so Florida law applies even if I moved to another state then sold. I'm not too concerned myself since Florida is a big state and someone in Florida will probably end up buying mine anyway. A good question though.
 
#28 ·
^^^ Good question for Pat @ FieldsJeep - he might know. I'd imagine though that one has to live/be a resident in FL to be able to transfer it.

Another good question- A FL resident buys the contract from a dealer in Michigan, are you allowed to transfer or since it was bought in MI you disqualified yourself... :lol: It might have to be sold out of Florida.
 
#29 ·
^^^ Doesn't matter where you buy the service agreement. I bought mine online. My address is Florida on the application.
 
#30 ·
No I realize your address is Florida, and that is what will show on the warranty work, but it was sold by a dealer outside of Florida. Does that no longer make it transferable being sold by a dealer outside of Florida regardless if you live in Florida or not?

Same goes for people outside of Florida, if you buy the plan from a dealer in Florida are you now able to transfer the contract regardless of where you live since you purchased it in/from the state of Florida. Yes it might show you live in say Texas, but you bought the contract from a dealer in Florida.


ELSE- the dealer has nothing to do with the sale- they submit your info to chrysler corporate and they get paid XX dollars over cost and chrysler corporate handles all of it, then obviously all that matters is where you live and not who sold it.
 
#31 ·
It doesn't matter who sells it, that I know for a fact. The open question is that if the buyer was a Florida resident can the buyer later move out of state and still transfer it and vice versa if bought in another state and moved to Florida. Also, if the 2nd buyer affects anything? The brochure says "TRANSFER POLICY
Plan is ONLY transferable in the state of Florida ($40 transfer fee) and North Carolina ($50 transfer fee)."

I shot an email off to get some clarification. I think you have to register the vehicle and warranty in florida for it to be transferable.

My reasoning behind this thought, I sold a Jeep to a guy in Canada, the 3 yr/36k bumper to bumper warranty did not transfer with the vehicle to Canada. He did buy an ext warranty thru Chrysler and that became void as well. Chrysler first told us he could go back to the states to get warranty repairs done but then they flagged it and he has no warranty here or in Canada. Nice right? Worst part is Chrysler wouldn't give him the full amount back that he paid for the warranty so we picked up the difference. Talk about a hard call to make, telling a Knight( not kidding) hey we can't do anything here for you, but try to make you whole on this deal. So we pretty much now pick up the tab for the parts if he has issues and he pays the labor at a dealer near him. We knew new vehicles for "export" lost the warranty but we didn't know used vehicles did and we didn't know that Canada was considered export. Lesson learned that's for sure.

In Florida dealer has to charge everyone the same dealer fee no matter what. So you negotiate the price (such as the affiliate) then they further deduct the fee amount then charge you the fee.

I think you are right...must be registered in Florida the vehicle and the warranty then it is transferable after that. Would make sense. Then any subsequent move by the seller or if a buyer is out of state it is transferable too...so long as originally registered in Florida.

You mean they can't mark it up ? At the same time we have a number of insurance companies here that make most of their profits by denying claims, why I am only interested in factory backed.

Knew by law cracked windshields are covered under comprehensive with no deductable. We have lots of retirees here with nothing but time to badger Tallahassee.

Have to pick up some parts so will ask the dealer about the "lifetime". From what I have seen the price is the same as long as under 12 and 12 so might as well wait for a coupon.
