Most of the things that owners have been having problems with should be covered with your 7/70 powertrain warranty. If you need the peace of mind, plan on keeping the PT for a long time, don't do any of your own work and don't have any spare cash in case other parts go wrong, IMHO go for the extended service contract.

Contact Kevin Wittrock e mail Kevin@wittrockmotors.com, I have gotten 2 contracts, he has beat any any price I found and you'll get a genuine Chrysler contract. DO NOT go with any other kind of contract.

Having worked in a Chrysler dealership, I know IF you get any other you will have to pay the dealer and try to collect from your contract issuer.

Good Luck

I don't know about the price but I know one thing from my many readings on this forum....... Any extended warranty contract, not to get burnt, must be a Chrysler contract!!!!

Make sure before you sign on the dotted line that it is indeed a Chrysler contract.

Living in Florida I saved over $400 that the local dealer quoted.

[8)]thanks for the #,, Very good dealership in Iowa... anyway I did get my plan though with DMC locally here & price was actually very close,,,,thanks for the contact top compare!! Only reason I went locally is that if you ever cancel $$ left go to dealer than back to the customer(stated in contract) Id certainly buy parts from The Iowa dealer though in business since the 35+++years! Take care & thanks [8)]MJB
