I think I'm going with the 8 yr 85K warranty..
Sponsored
I have this insurance. $15 extra each 6 month pay period. Really is a no brainer. I wonder if thereās any reason to have the fca warranty too?Insuring through Geico includes an extended warranty.
I was on the fence until today. I'm not buying lifetime or any for that matter. Im going to keep the 3 grand and If something happens later, decide whether to repair and sell or repair and keep. The resale value of Wranglers also helped with this decision. You get more money out of a Wrangler than most any other vehicle. I know I have an honest salesman as I was in there today to purchase a lifetime and he walked me through it. A friend did the same thing. Ultimately it was my choice and I decided against buying a warranty.I've had 27 Used and new Jeeps so as you can imagine don't keep them long. However I did buy extended warranty's on 3 of those including the newest JLU, never used any yet. My last trade in I did get some $$ back on the unused warranty, with only a little way into the extended time the refund was only a bit more than half!
As someone above said, seems like you've about made up your mind for the 7 year one? Don't forget even if you buy the extended warranty (7year/100k), after your 3 year/36,000 Jeep regular warranty is up you've only got 4 years/64,000 miles left of your optional warranty! YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT start after your regular warranty, it starts soon as you buy it, that's the kicker!!! Of course my description starts with a new no mileage Jeep, yours would start I think (?)from day and mileage when you buy the warranty because your Jeep is not new.
Go Jeep!!!
Are you not able to order from Tom Winkels? I called mopar as well and after thanking them for the exact same offer they gave you I reached out to Tom and got the same warranty for $2995.I made my decision...I called Mopar directly and spoke to Scott, 800-442-2666 option 3. Scott did confirm that the lifetime Max Care is ending 11-3-18, and that Florida is different thank most of the country. The laws mandate the lifetime plan be transferable one time and/or prorated if canceled for up to 7 years and 100,000 miles. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's more expensive, $4290 plus tax which equals $4547.90 - ouch!! They finance interest free, $455 down and 24 payments of $170.52.
I can hear the comments in my head now, "the price is outrageous" and "I'll never pay that"! Well, it is a lot, but I just sold my 2013 Mercedes ML350 Blutek with 94,000 miles which I had a bumper to bumper Mercedes extended warrantee to 100,000 miles which I paid about $4400 for. From the 50,000 mile starting point of the extended warrantee to the day I sold it with 94,000 miles, Mercedes spent OVER $30,000 in repairs to the ML! I do not regret buying that warrantee!
I loved my Audi A6. Got rid of it after its warranty was up, I owned it for 3.5 years and 65k miles. Regular maintenance was expensive, and I had somewhat minor issues once a year which the warranty covered. Once the warranty was gone, I knew I didn't trust it enough to keep long term (or rather, my bank account didn't trust it).I think the German car costs of ownership are ridiculous. Fricken money pits. I'd never own a newer German car again (had 3 BMWs). If you have to have one, lease them and get new ones every 3 years.
Florida must pay MSRP.Are you not able to order from Tom Winkels? I called mopar as well and after thanking them for the exact same offer they gave you I reached out to Tom and got the same warranty for $2995.
How the fuck is "LIFETIME" Maximum Care only good for 100K miles???In addition, Lifetime Maximum Care provides First-Day Rental, Car rental Allowance, $100 Towing/Roadside Assistance and $1,000 Trip Interruption Protection on the day you buy the Lifetime option. These benefits expire at 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
I just got off the phone with Mopar and they also quoted me $4290 plus tax for Max Care lifetime. I live in Indiana so I don't think Florida has anything to do with the price. When I told him he was $1000 higher than any dealer I contacted he said the dealers were hugely discounting the plan and that's why Mopar was discontinuing the plan. I'm currently shopping around!I made my decision...I called Mopar directly and spoke to Scott, 800-442-2666 option 3.

The additional benefits expire st 100k. I donāt think the repair benefits doHow the fuck is "LIFETIME" Maximum Care only good for 100K miles???
In FL you must pay MSRP, period. Since youāre in IN you can shop around.I just got off the phone with Mopar and they also quoted me $4290 plus tax for Max Care lifetime.
