I don't know why I didn't buy an extended warranty at the time I bought my Challenger. I knew I intended to keep it a long time. Anyway, it may have had something to do with my dealership closing about three months later. My car has 11,400 miles on it and is 13 months old. All this talk about warranties made me go visit the nearest two dealerships. The first one , where I am having it serviced, quoted out of a Chrysler book. She told me that 6 years, 72,000 miles was longest I could go. The cost would be $3200 at $100 deductible. A 5 year- 75,000 mile, $100 deductible would be $2,340. If I went to $200 deductible, the 6 year dropped to $2700 and the 5 year dropped to $2025. Both pretty expensive to my notion.
The second dealership quoted out of a book that I am sure was not Chrysler. A 5 year, 60,000 mile, $100 deductible was $1641 and coverage started at contract signing. A 5 year, 100,000 mile, $100 deductible that started at the time of purchase last year was $1548. A lifetime unlimited miles, unlimited years that started at the date the car was purchased was $3995. The last two were called WRAP. They cover everything but belts, hoses, brake pads, spark plugs, tires and all other normal maintenance items. The last one is the only one I'd be interested in but it is still pretty steep.
Just thought I would tell my experience around here.
