I never buy extended warranties.  I figure that I have saved enough money
over the last ten years or so, to pay cash for a replacement vehicle, if it
comes to that.  When I bought my Wrangler twelve years ago, they said, "What
will you do if it breaks down?"  I don't know the answer to that, because it
hasn't broken down yet.

Of course, if I bought it I'd never see the actual cost.  I will call a couple
of other Chrysler dealers in the area and get a quote.  Thanks to all the others
that responded to this post.  I still have Canadian Tire Auto Club (sorry, now
Roadside Assistance) because it is non-refundable, yet remains attached to the
licence plate.   With each renewal in January, there is a 'freebie' L.O.F.
coupon along with enough $14.95 coupons to last the year when I was changing the
oil on my Exploder every 3 months.  I will call the CTC service manager and see
what kind of a deal we can make with the difference being a diesel.  I've dealt
there for years.  I just might carry on with the CTC thing since it covers a tow
up to 250 km, which is better than Chrysler only towing to the closest dealer.

In the meantime, I'm told that I have up to the limits of the basic warranty to
still purchase an extended warranty.  That's 3/60 along with the 5/100 power
train coverage.  I'm thinking I'll tell them to take the Gold Plus Plan off the
contract on Tuesday BEFORE I give them the rest of the down payment.  I'm
telling you, this business manager reminded me of one of those guys selling a
slicer & dicer at the fair.  

Anyhow, I'm glad I found a Jeep newsgroup with a bunch of great people.  Thanks
again to everyone.

When someone starts lying to me, it is time to walk.

$125.00 for an oil change???????????

That's theft.

Canadian Tire just said $49.95 at the most because it's a CRD, the
regular engine is about $25.00.

Just bought a new Liberty CRD and of course I got the usual sales pitch from the
business 'manager' about the virtues of an extended warranty, and especially in
this case for a diesel.  He's trying to sell me the Gold Plus plan because it
provides 10 free oil changes over the life of the plan.  He told me that he's
sure that Chrysler "made a mistake" on this, because oil changes on a diesel are
worth $125.00 a pop.

Would anyone care to verify or dispute this?  And while we're at it, if you were
buying a new Liberty CRD, which extended warranty would be most appropriate for
the long haul?

Thanx folks
