According to US News & World Report, you don’t need to purchase a warranty the moment you buy the car. If you want one, you can easily buy it later from a reputable third-party company. “The dealer’s extended warranty isn’t necessarily the best deal; in fact, it usually costs more. Plus, you’re in a high-pressure situation at the dealer and might not be able to read the fine print. Finally, if you buy the dealer’s extended warranty, you might be required to return to that dealership to get it honored – which could become a problem if you move.” So contact Warranty Direct and buy direct from us and save.

How will my factory warranty coverage be effected by Chrysler’s bankruptcy?
The President said that Chrysler purchasers would be protected even if Chrysler filed bankruptcy. Are there any caveats?
Does my extended warranty coverage immediately go into effect if Chrysler’s factory warranty is terminated?
