....on a new car ... from 3yr/30k miles to 6/60 ? ... what should that warranty extension cost be ? And are there SPECIFIC service requirements to maintain that warranty?

Your dealer should be able to sell you one. Our dealer offered lifetime/100,000k, on a scat pack, not offered on hellcats, it was $1500, and requires 1 oil change at the dealer per year. It covers everything, and you can buy more miles if you want more. Im sure there are better deals out there, and I would still get oil changed more often, we got the once a year in writting. I was after the lifetime on electrical, and fuel issues, will never see 100k, car is just a toy. It is also transferable, so figure a purple woman driven only on nice days scat challenger with a warranty will bring the $1500 back if she sells it...but doubt she ever will sell it.

Thx for you our post but I have something unusual to report ....

The dealer ADDED that extension onto the finance contract for 25$ per month but only during the finance period.

SO .... if the TOTAL LOAN is paid off early ... then that 25$ fee stops.

Soooo ..... the earliest payoff date is 90 days ... so I get a 6/60 for 75$ ?

And the finance guy agrees ... but that’s the DEAL OF A LIFETIME some are saying !!

Maybe your lifetime

Well I’m going to be around a LONG TIME ....

I have many tasks to do ... THE NOBLE CRUSADER !

I bought a lifetime powertrain warranty on my 2015 Ram 4x4 because we all know how well I live with transmissions. It was $1500 and $200 out of pocket for every fix. So far I have used it for a blown rear diff and broken studs on the 5.7 exhaust manifolds (which Chrysler well knows are a common issue and should be paying for). I will be using it on my transmission soon at 197K miles, hope it lasts well in the 200's but I have felt a slip lately...

Can't beat that, if there is no early payoff penalty jump on it. I doubt it, but be cool of it works out. Get it in writing first.



,

I hear you .. IN WRITING... my first payment is next month ... it DOES sound too good to be true - but I have that early payoff in writing .....

that loan was zero down but it’s at 13% !

Gotta get it refi-ed... at a much lower rate

Ya chrysler credit makes you finance for 90 days, or 3 payments, to get low rates or in our case a kickback on the loan, so we paid all but $100 at time of purchase to get the extra $500. I hope you luck out on that deal.

It’s Chrysler Capital I’m dealing with ... but why would they let you pay off that loan so quickly ?

With that redate .., they’re losing big money !

Yikes 13% that hurts. I'm at 2.49 for 84 months. It will be PIF in 3. Only financed that long because sometimes things happen and its nice having a small payment when the unexpected happens.

I think they wanted 2.5k for the extended warranty when I got my truck last summer. If they had offered a deal like that I would have taken it also. Would have refinanced after 90 days and got the warranty on the cheap.

13 is a bummer but over 3 months it’s not that bad. My credit report was dinged back last August ... and that bogus charge was supposed to have been reversed by Capital one but suddenly sent to a collection attorney THEN the attorney is sending it BACK to Cap1 !

My only credit history IS with credit cards and I had a good number up until August - 780.

Buttttt what I can’t figure out is WHY they gave me the car with NOTHING DOWN ??!! ....

Yes they do lose money on that end of the deal, on people like me, I finance nothing unless I make money on the offer, I just don't make enough money to pay interest. It was explained to me by the salesman, the manager, and the dealership owner exactly how to do it, all money down but $100, make 4 payments so you do not get caught in a 89 day BS deal. Sales manager said very few people actually buy a car that way, or screw it up somehow, so it pays off for them. They offered it, I cashed in. They give teacher, military, realtor police business, farmer and who knows what else discounts, pretty sure enough is built into a car to help a cash paying 40 year customer too. I will never forget Ron Olsen Olsen Dodge told me there is so much funny money in the car business that even I can't keep it straight when he sold his dealership to the big boys. Don't worry, they made money on the other end, just a little less. The car also only sat on the lot for a week... so no carry costs there. It's mostly borrowed, leveraged money building and setting those cars on a lot.

So you pay more interest, to make up for what they lost on me. It's a game. I am sure they would love to pass a law where you could not do what I did.

Check out my post ... posted ONE MINUTE before yours !

But 6 ..... I don’t think they would have accepted a huge down and very little remaining over 90 days .... I would think Chrysler Capital would THEN KNOW what my plans were.

There was 600$ discount for financing ....

Even though I did get a deal on the car .... and I bet NOW you could get a better deal ..... I’m sure that the dealer and FCA made good money on the car.

Well they took the big down from us, everything worked out exactly like they promised. As far as a better deal now, maybe, but we had a control number, somebody ordered this car and refused it over caliper color, and they hit us low. Also no plum crazy now so would not want one.

Caliper color ? So they wanted red ...or maybe PINK ? lol

They wanted red, looks good on purple cars, has black, what she wanted

What’s the spec on the 3 calipers? Color and pistons ?

Mine are the std black ... I can’t IMAGINE needing a better braking system on a street or drag car.

Now maybe SO on a road race car like at Sebring..,
