Call another dealer and ask how much it would be to get an oil change for
your Jeep. :)

It all depends on how long you expect to keep the vehicle and
how much you want or are willing to do yourself.

Take the basic warranty.  Look at bumper-to-bumper and powertrain
separately.  Electronics usually fail in the first few months of
operation then last and last till age eventually causes failure
(it's called a bathtub curve)  Daily operations like the power
door/windows/latches/seats/etc all eventually fail but generally
they work for more than ten years even with a lot of use.

For the most part, the electronics that fail can be easily replaced
by the average back yard mechanic.  The cost isn't cheap but that is
the trade you have to make.  Pay up-front for the extended plan and
hope things break enough that your not out of money, or don't get
the plan and hope things don't break.  It's a gamble.

If you plan on lifting or modifying the vehicle, check your countries
laws.  Down South here we have the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act. Dunno
if there is a similar one for Canada.

I got the money out of my 7-70 powertrain.  Mostly new seals on the
transmission, transfer case, CV boots, valve cover, etc.  If it broke
I had them fix it, no matter how small. :)

Of course it's well past the waranty end now so it's all on me.  Good
thing I do most of my own work.

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
