<< Folks,
I am new to this forum, as I have recently ordered a '98 Dakota SLT CC 4WD
with the
318 V8, 5 speed, and assorted goodies (pretty much everything except overhead
console,
fog lights). Oh yeah, I ordered the 3.55 axle...did not really think I'd
need the 3.90.
My last three vehicles have been Toyotas, which have provided me with
reliable service.
The other one, my first, was a Dodge Charger R/T...so you could say that I at
least started
out on the right track...
Anyway, I have a question regarding the extended warranty. I like to keep
my vehicles for as long as I can (6 years at least), and I would also like to
avoid having
to pay to have "little things" fixed over the years. Yeah, I know the
warranty is
expensive, but it includes things like rental car allowance, and I figure
that it will pay
for itself if I have just one "major failure" during my ownership of the
vehicle.
I'm digressing. Obviously, all of y'all have already justified your decision
to either
purchase or pass on the extended warranty, and I'd like to hear what you
think.
Thanks
for the help.

HI, I opted to buy the extended warranty(5 year/100,000) miles, It was kind of
expensive. But on my last truck(ford) the Trans puked at 92k and it cost me
$1700 for a new one. I figure if one big thing breaks, it will be worth it to
have the warranty. Especially since my truck is also 4wd. I also plan on
towing a camper. It makes me feel better to know I won't have to dish out big
bucks later if something breaks. Hopefully if something does break it'll do it
before 5 years are up.
Good luck.
Nick
