Which Warranty Did You Get? And how much did it cost?

Can you buy the warranty after taking delivery of the vehicle?

Yes. However, I believe once you break a certain mileage\age the price will start increasing. If you want an idea how low pricing can be take a look at this link. (You can get free immediate pricing). This absolutely blows away what my dealer offered and there are numerous dealers that will sell on line as well.

You can purchase anytime within the initial 3yr/36k coverage.

There used to be a $150 surcharge after the first 1yr/12k passed

Just a heads up; warranties that cover you beyond 8 years or warranties that have a mileage increment that is not 60/75/85/100/125 or Unlimited, is most DEFINITELY an aftermarket warranty, which isn't ALWAYS a bad thing, but one must be careful. The only official manufacturer-backed warranty that you can purchase for your Jeep is through Mopar.

I can confirm this, once your vehicle hits 12,000 miles the pricing of the warranties will increase to the next tier, but you can still purchase the warranty.

You can actually purchase after that date as well, the warranties just work a little bit differently. Instead of the warranties starting from the in-service date of the vehicle and when the mileage was at 0, the warranties will now start from the day and mileage of when you purchase the warranty. The same plans, Maximum Care, Added Care Plus, Powertrain Care Plus, are all still available.

So, this is not a Chrysler program?

How do they get away with using Chrysler brand logos on their web site?

But is there a higher cost if you purchase a plan after the vehicle has some miles on it? I am trying to understand if I pay a penalty if I wait to get an extended warranty.

That actually is indeed a factory-backed warranty, it's just they are a third party company selling the Mopar warranties. Mopar is actually required BY LAW to sell their warranties for full retail value, third party companies and dealerships are not, which is why there is a competitive market. Generally, a third-party company is actually tied to a dealer since to my knowledge, they are the only ones who are authorized to sell the warranties.

There isn't really a difference between purchasing a warranty through a dealer and through a third party company besides that the third party company is generally going to upcharge the warranty much less because they might sell 10 warranties in one day, whereas a dealership might sell 2. Generally, the dealership is only going to talk about their aftermarket warranties though because they get MCUH more commission for them, and they act like they are genuine manufacturer warranties.

If the vehicle is under three years old and has less than 12,000 miles on it, in most cases it will be the exact same cost as if you bought it when the vehicle was brand new. Now if the vehicle is under three years old and has MORE than 12,000 miles on it, there will be an increase in price by a few hundred dollars. If the vehicle is older than 3 years or has more than 36,000 miles on it your eligibility changes.

Can you buy the warranty after taking delivery of the vehicle?

Certainly. However, the price increases after the first 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Can you buy the warranty after taking delivery of the vehicle?

Yes. It is cheaper to purchase during the first 12,000 miles, though. As long as the original 36,000 mile warranty is in effect, you can purchase an extended warranty.

Just finished a call with Tom Winkels at Hayes to purchase an extended warranty for my JLRUD purchased here in Texas. He's a really good guy and very fair. Highly recommended!

I have the lifetime on my wife’s 2018 GC which the warranty has paid for itself in a very short time. My JLU is a little over 2 years old and at 35,202 miles. If I buy the 6/60000 max care is that 6/60000 from the date I buy it OR basically I would be paying $1250(ziegler pricing 100 deductible) for a 4 year 25000 miles warranty.

The extended coverage does not start from the date of purchase, it is backdated to the original in-service date.
