Is there any catches?
Want to get either the new Chrysler or Dodge van!
I heard about the "limited/non transferable" resale value, but are there any other cathes!?!?

The warranty is only good for the original owner of the vehicle. The original owner must bring the vehicle to a Chrysler corporation dealer for a power train inspection every 5 years, within 60 days of the 5 year anniversary. The original owner must do the recommended preventive maintenance, but as long as they have the records, thins is not required to be done at a dealership!

Yes it is a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty and it covers a whole lot of stuff. Chrysler is one of the best companies out there right now. It's too bad that MB pulled out but sometimes that happens in big business. There are no catches as you say, what would prevent you from owning the car for a lifetime? Who knows, when things like timing belts and valves and virtually all the mechanical aspects of the car are covered. I personally think it's a great deal
I have been driving Chryslers for 4 years now, two totally different cars but both very well made and at the top of the performance spectrum, granted, I enhanced them a bit but they are way cool and eye catching as well.
Is it a sham? Absolutely not! Are they good cars? I think so.
You make your own decision, I'm quite happy with mine.
My Crossfire is a dream car and I wouldn't part with it for 3 times it's value. I really look forward to getting in that seat and having fun, each and every time. Not to mention the folks that stop me and ask, what is it?

No, no catches, .... well, maybe one, in order for it to be effective, you have to have the dealership perform a powertrain inspection every 5 years within 60 days of the original "warranty start date" (aka, original purchase date). So I suppose you could call that a catch.
You DO NOT have to have the dealer perform the scheduled maintenance. BUT you DO have to have it performed according to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual.
Just FYI, after your purchase, you could take it to your dealer and have them pull it up by VIN and tell you what the warranty start date is.

I don't have a definite answer for you...but maybe something to ponder. It's limited by the lifetime of the company (who knows? Chrysler may not be here forever) and what happens if the car is in an accident that damages part of the power-train. Does it have to be repaired by a Chrysler collision shop to retain the warranty? Does all the maintenance have to be done by Chrysler?
I'm skeptical too, but, warranty or not, there are a LOT of Chrysler products on the road doing just fine.

The main one is that all servicing must be done by a Dodge dealership and done on time. Oh you changed the oil yourself.......Oh you went 15 miles over on the recomended service interval...your screwed! Plus take the difference in what the dealership charges to do the servicing vs. doing it yourself and set it back for any problems that arise and you'll probably come out way ahead.

Go to www.dodge.com they will have the details of the warranty, or go to your dealer, there will be someone there to explain it for you.
