Cool Extended Warranty

I just ordered my 2012 JKU today and was wondering if i should get the the extended bumper to bumper warranty for it? I like the though of being protected for 2 more years but not sure if it's really neccessary. The dealer has a lifetime powertrain warranty that goes with it so i'm covered there. Besides i could use the money to buy stuff to trick it out. I was wonder if you guys bought or would buy the extra coverage?

Google Chrysler Warranty. Their are some dealerships that sell warranties really cheap. You can get a damn near bumper to bumper warranty for lifetime. And if you trade in the Jeep after a couple of years you can get part of it refunded.

Yes...Between my lifetime Powertrain and Lifetime Max Care (nearly bumper to bumper) all my major, and costly, items are covered. Anything that falls under the Max care has a $100 warranty, but that's small change compared to how much it could cost.

The main thing is to find a good dealership that will work on your Jeep even if you take it off road. My adviser has a JK with a bigger lift and looks like she hits the trail more than me, so we have a great relationship.
