Mopar Maximum Coverage Lifetime Unlimited Warranty - Where and How Much???

Not to mention I do not have a good relationship with my local dealer. Considering I had a terrible experience of owning a 2015 cherokee. Still can't believe they told me it was normal for the car to accelerate right before coming to a stop.
 
Just pm me what kind of coverage you're looking for year/miles and I'll see what I can do. I ran a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealer for a long while... I'm not there anymore but still have plenty of friends. Whatever you do dont buy any type of aftermarket warranty whatsoever no matter what the finance guys say... They're all garbage and some more than others compared to max care!

I bought my 13 JKU about 2 months ago, I paid under $2000 for my lifetime warranty. However this wasn't the first vehicle I bought from them, and I have my vehicles serviced there regularly. I have a good relationship with the dealership. I wasn't trading in a car (no upside down equity). So there was a lot of wiggle room on price of the Jeep and cost of the warranty. Did I pay under $2000 for warranty, yes. Did I pay to much for the Jeep, don't think so. What I'm trying to say is not every purchase is the same. There are too many variables to go off what someone else has paid.

That is correct but also incorrect. The only variable on pricing for warranties is the model of wrangler we're talking about. A Rubicon unlimited for example will have a higher warranty cost than a 2 door sport. Inequity from a trade in doesn't affect "wiggle room" whatsoever... Having any amount of inequity only affects how much will be able to be financed on the loan as the banks will only finance within certain percentages of invoice based on credit. In other words the more upside down you are, the more money down the dealer will ask from you to secure financing. Having a good relationship is key to getting less of the run around and IMO definitely contributed to you getting a good deal on the warranty.

The dealership I was referring to marks up wranglers $3000-$4000 over MSRP, when I asked why I was told it was due to the amount of people that are currently upside down in their current vehicle. Being marked over MSRP allows them room to get people who are upside down approved without as much of a down payment. And since I was not trading in a car the sales manager would come down off that price fairly easy. I don't know if he was just blowing smoke or what. I saw my JKU in the certified used section and talked them down off asking price then asked about lifetime warranty and was very happy with price they quoted me. I think the good relationship with dealership had a lot to do with it.

That's great! Getting a good deal on a car always makes you feel good! As far as the markup, You're referring to the little sticker thats usually right next to the window sticker and usually has something like "market adjustment" written on it with additional markup as well as anything they might have added to the vehicle like tint or wheels etc.

You hit the nail on the head... He was definitely blowing smoke! On new cars, 90% of the lenders loan off of invoice and the other 10% loan off of MSRP... That will never change. Many dealers have adopted this technique where by inflating the price they can claim a bigger discount but In all reality it's just smoke and mirrors. The explanation you got was typical when someone questions that sticker with a "what the fuck is that" attitude:eek: I'm laughing because its funny to hear someone else say the same thing many of my sales guys have said!
