Dang, an extra $1k for getting too much sunshine and no guarantee dealer would match price. The dealers here are greedy bastards. I may have to skip this warranty. Bummer
I read under the terms something to the effect that diesels are not covered. But then again I think FCA US vehicles are exempt from that rule. Not sure.
That's the beauty of a Wrangler and its high resale value. You'll get more out of that warranty than nearly any other vehicle you could buy. I'm buying this warranty, then I'm going to drive the shit out of this thing, worry free. Just like I continue to do with my JKU. Love it!
You have the lifetime warranty on your JKU?
Yep. It isn't the Mastercare warranty, but it was a factory lifetime warranty given in 07 by Chrysler as an incentive. It strictly covers the powertrain and I have to go in every 5 years, within 30 days of the anniversary of the purchase date, and get a free inspection. It has no deductible. Coverage ends when the price of a repair exceeds the resale value of the Jeep. Helluva deal, except that I paid sticker for the Wrangler when I bought it. That actually wasn't bad, because every other dealer, pretty much from coast to coast, was charging two to three thousand over sticker when I bought it. In fact, until I found this Jeep, the best deal I could find was $2k over sticker. Some were getting $5k over. The warranty made me feel a lot better about it. Also, they gave me a better trade on my 03 Tahoe than any other dealer would give. They covered a new transmission a few thousand miles ago, so that right there, by itself, was worth it. The tranny didn't fail, however. It was popping gently out of 3rd gear once or twice a month. I wouldn't even have considered repairing or replacing it if I didn't have that warranty. I didn't ask them, either. They proposed it after I simply asked them to check it out. That warranty and my dealer have been great. The new NSG370 feels MUCH better than the old one did, even when new. They told me the new (FCA factory rebuilt) unit included all the latest updates, so it most certainly would have some differences from the 2008 version. Either way, my JK runs, drives, and feels better than new.
That's promising information. So as an incentive that warranty was free I'm guessing.
Yep, it was no charge.
One other point about our future Jeep. It would get regular DD use of about 5k mile s a year tack on maybe 2k more of extra driving and thats 7k a year, 70k in 10 years. Not a lot of use and maybe not a lot of failures. No Cold group, no Tech Group, no Nav. Short of big failures, my not be as cost effective. I gotta weight all these factors. If the Jeep were anything like my Toyota's, I'd definitely lose money.
I think they use an index based upon relative ratio of news headlines that begin with "<your state here> man . . . ". For every headline that begins with "Minnesota man . . . " there's probably about a hundred that start with "Florida man . . . ".
Yes, I received the following quote for the 2018 JL, send him an email to get info directly from him, he answered back pretty quickly:
Was it an internal wiring issue with the LED headlights? I mean if you replace your factory halogens headlights with Sylvania oe Phillips halogens is that considered aftermarket too? If not then it would be no different than replacing factory LED or Halogens with aftermarket branded LEDs IMO as long as the original plugs/wiring is not altered.
