I live up north so I don't get to drive her all that often.
It was the best I could do around here, I'm sure you can do better.

I chose a 7 year/ 50,000 mile, zero deductable and paid $1,080.00. My car is just turning two years old with under 10,000 miles on it.

Most dealerships I checkd with were willing to offer the warranty under the suggested retail price. Shop around and good luck.

If you buy a Chrysler Service Contract, it will cover your vehicle at any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer in the country and they will bill Chrysler directly for the cost of the repairs less your deductible (if any?). If you buy an "aftermarket" contract, you are on your own. This is not to say that there aren't some fine aftermarket providers out there because there are but if you don't buy the Chrysler Contract...caveat emptor !!

I purchased the Chrysler official extended warranty for my Caravan, and was extremely disappointed with Chryslers' execution of that contract.

Has anyone actually owned a Chrysler product and purchased the extended warranty and used the warranty after the new car warranty ran out?

First, my experience with a Mopar plan. I purchased a warranty from Ma Mopar for a Dodge Caravan. I had some problems, specifically the trans mounts went bad, and thought no worry - I'm covered. Imagine the shock when I find out Mopar's own contract didn't cover the item. 300+ dollars extra for the repair! After comparing the plan to "aftermarket" plans I was shocked to see how many items weren't covered under Mopar's plan and were covered in most other plans.

Secondly, a number of plans sold by Dealers are actually underwritten (covered) by the same "aftermarket" companies they knock.

Lastly, I purchased a 6 year/60K warranty (50 deductible)from Auto Advantage for $675. The plan is insured by the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. This plan covers much more than the other companies mentioned on this post and AA costs less. My Prowler is still under Mopar's warranty (for 3 more weeks) and the plans are cheaper when purchased while your car is still covered by the manufacturer.

Richard Jackson...Sorry you were disappointed with Chrysler's execution of the service contract. Did they refuse to cover something that the contract specifically said was covered? And yes, I have enjoyed the benefits of owning a service contract several times on my vehicles, most recently on my '97 Dodge Grand Caravan ES with 60,000 miles.

Chuckmar...Again, you have to read and understand what you are buying just as you would a standard insurance policy. Chrysler's plans cover exactly what the various plan provision documents enumerate, no more and no less. And you are correct, the plans are least expensive to purchase during the first year of your warranty. After the first year beyond the original in-service date, there is a surcharge and after the second year, there usually is an additional surcharge.

lynnpt2000...The last I knew, Chrysler had a plan to finance the price of the service contract for a year interest-free also. See your dealer for details!

If anyone has any other questions or concerns, please post them and I will attempt to answer them as best I can.
