Extended Warranty Mopar

[Vinny2002]

Anyone drop the bucks on this? Worth it? My 2020 has already had the new steering gearbox, 4 doors, hood, tailgate replaced.. and today the timing chain cover gasket. Warranty ends in March and with this many problems thinking it might be worth it?

I would go for it. If your not a wrench monkey labor prices are through the roof. BTW go to the Jeep Mopar Parts page and look at the prices for OEM parts. Which BTW many a repair shop wont put on anything else because of , you guessed it, liability insurance.

I was thinking about it as well, but I really don't know if it's worth it for me.

For context, I had 70k miles on my 2006 Wrangler when I traded it in in August. The only issue it ever had was the air conditioning stopped working.

In my opinion, extended warranties are mostly a scam, unless its for an FCA product as you'll certainly be using it. I’ve owned four Wranglers, and they were all constantly in the shop for warranty work. I ended up getting a Mopar extended warranty for one of them which easily paid for itself from all the repairs it needed. I eventually sold that one with 100k miles on it then I ran into the new owner a few months later, and they had to replace the entire engine at their own cost despite me doing full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles.

Shop around for one. Dealers mark them up insanely high but normally there's a dealer on the forum that sells them for a little over cost. And dont go for a third party one unless you want a headache.

Dude I paid $1,300 for a 8-year hundred thousand mile warranty I say go for it. Make sure you buy it online, I know a few of the forum sponsors have really good prices that's where I bought mine from it was like $50 over dealer cost.

I got a quote from Mopar direct (they've been pinging me) and it was like over $3K..seemed crazy... who did you use?

That's insane. For comparison, the Toyota 7yr/125k extended platinum warranty from the forum dealer is around $1200 for a Tacoma

Same! Mine was $1,100 for 7yr warranty from the dealership when I bought my Jeep in July. I agree, get the warranty to save the headache of repair cost hopefully later than sooner.

Yes, go with the MOPAR max extended warry policy. Vehicles as of today, have way to many expensive repairs, to be without any warranty back-up.

Understand I wanted the Mopar Warranty however, my Jeep was sold in Canada and I could not get it. I think its was around 3,000 for an 8 year 110,000 mile period. They offered a monthly payment plan interest free I believe. The only caveat is repairs have to be a Mopar dealership.

Some say thats high in cost. Yes they are correct. But it comes down to you get what you pay for. I look at it this way; when yourJeep was new' it had a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. You just took it in to a dealership and they fixed it and your receipt showed you owe nothing. The same with the extended warranty on drivetrain.

I wanted the warranty because I am near 70 years young and my Jeep was to be my last new vehicle or 13,000 miles close to it. 8 years would of served me well as its getting harder to turn wrenches' plus I doubt I would have 110,000 miles on it in 8 years.

One other thing with the warranty that most don't consider. Procrastination is what comes to mind! That word I can barely spell without spell checker is a demon word when it comes to vehicles period!

You put off repairs until you can afford them, find time, or wait for parts. Meanwhile your vehicle probably gets driven. It could be your original problem causes other part wear and tear as you drive the crippled beast...especially with suspension and drivetrain.

With a warranty you don't procrastinate! Instead, you get it fixed. Primarily because the warranty cost big bucks and you want to at least make back most of it. You also get repairs done that you would ignore!

That alone is a win win for your vehicle.

In retrospect I could of said allot of words and just said..."If you can spend more that $50,000 dollars on a vehicle, $3K is a drop in the bucket" To me no statement is truer because it also gives you a hint to what a repair would cost.

Best of luck to you....

I just bought a 60,000 mile Mopar Max warranty through Granger. It was $1,100. You can transfer or get a partial refund if you sell. QUOTE="Vinny2002, post: 2908500, member: 48946"]

My 70k 2018 JL Sport came certified (more like pencil whipped) but before it expired I bought a 7/125 for $895 through a recommended dealer contact on this forum.

Easily covered over $8000 warranty repair on top of the recalls. They call me now to see if there's anything more they can do.

My panther's aftermarket EW went bankrupt and I ate that one so I stayed factory EW this time.

Yes get one. With the amount of electronics that are much harder to diagnose and replace it’s worth it. Only takes a visit or two and it’ll pay for itself.
