I bought the Chrysler Plan for my wife's Jeep Liberty Renegade. I bought
the 100k mile plan.

Subject: DML: Extended service contracts

I've got my second offer for a Chrysler extended service contract in
front of me and I've been considering buying it. There are a few things
that aren't sitting quite right with me though, and I'm hoping the DML
whizzes can clear things up.

* According to
http://www.servicecontracts.chrysler.com/faq/servicing_info.html , I
have to go to the dealer who sold me the plan for everything if at all
possible. But what if I take this deal DC sent me direct through the mail?

* Do I have to call DC every time I go in to get authorization for the
work to start?

* State & local taxes aren't covered by the plan?

* Also from the page linked above: "You pay only the plan deductible for
covered repairs performed during each repair visit." - does this mean
that if a problem takes 5 visits to correct, I'll pay my deductible 5
times if billable work was done on each visit?

* Are these plans the ones that you can negotiate with them on the price?

I do plan on keeping this truck until it's paid off (and then some) and
my 3/36 bumper to bumper is going to run out long before my 3 years are
up. I'm having a hard time understanding what the options are with
these plans and the website that the mailer pointed me to is close to 3
years old - I have a hard time trusting that information. Any
clarifications would be *greatly* appreciated.

Or should I just go up to the local 5-Scar dealer some night this week
and ask him?
