Does anybody have this or used it? I'm not one for buying extended warranties at all, but I've found some pretty reasonable prices online for this warranty. I've read some on other sites, and generally people seem to be pretty happy with this warranty. Though you always find some people that think it's a rip off. I fully understand what this does and does not cover. And I prefer to fix my stuff on my own, but we bought a Durango for a family car and I have no intentions of ever doing any mods. And for about $2300 (plus $100 deductible) I would never have to touch it, other than general maintenance. This is a lifetime Bumper to Bumper warranty. Which covers Electronics, and that's a big plus that just might sell me on it. So has anybody on here had experience with the Max Care warranty?P.s. They also state in small print, if the repairs cost more than the book value of the vehicle, they will just give you the value of the vehicle and you keep the vehicle. So they aren't putting transmissions in a vehicle that is rusted out with 467,000 miles on it. Lol

when I bought my Highlander I spent about $2,000 for the extended warranty, covered B2B for 7 years, 84,000 mi instead of 3/36, maintenance also covered, etc. and has lots of computerized stuff that cost a fortune if it goes South. had to get a new tail gate that ran about $1,000 so I figure I got my moneys worth. :)but check the fine print, which I guess you did.bumpy

For $2300 and a lifetime warranty B2B I'd jump all over it if I was planning on keeping the vehicle for 10 years or so. With that being said I've never ever had a serious mechanical or electrical malfunction on any of my rigs. But the new stuff (2010) is not cheap with all the electronic tie ins. Our 11 year old Honda Accord has needed nothing but small stuff (alternator and door locks)in 118,000 miles. My 94 Ranger 190,000+ needed nothing. My 06 Frontier with 60,000 needed nothing. Those were older vehicles and not quite as electrically driven as newer ones, so that's why I'd jump on it. Mechanically I wouldn't worry about much. It's the elec that's worrisome.

SRT20, your description is correct, including the details on the fine print. I jumped on this last year when I bought a new 2013 Grand Caravan. This is a Mopar warranty, not some questionable aftermarket thing. I have not had a reason to use it and hopefully never will, but I am very glad I bought it and would definitely do it again for the peace of mind.

It may or may not be worth buying.In 2003 we bought a new Toyota Camry, the dealer tried to sell us an extended warranty, I believe it was 7 years 100,000 miles. I did not purchase the warranty. Eleven years and 123000 miles later we still have the Camry and it runs great.Other than oil changes, I bought tires, brakes and a battery. It has the original exhaust system.In my case the extended warranty would have been a waste of money.If it had been a lifetime warranty maybe I would have given it some consideration.

Do you have to have maintenance work done at the dealer? Oil changes etc.

We bought a new Camry in 2003 also and didn't get extended warranty. We drove it 160,000 in 10 years and sold it to our daughter-in-law, who has worn out a set of Michelins since then, so I'm guessing it now has 200,000+. Only problem we had was one back door lock.

In 2010, we bought a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan with about 25,000 miles on it. Since the factory warranty was about to expire, we opted for their extended warranty. I forget what it was called, but it was through Chrysler. That van developed a miss that didn't show up as a code on the computer. The dealer's service department started guessing what it was and wanted me to buy new plugs and plug wires at 40,000 miles. Warranty wouldn't cover, since this is "normal maintenance". We now have a Toyota Sienna, and no it doesn't have the extended warranty. I did, however buy an extended warranty on my truck. Since I'm hoping to go on very long trips with it, I thought it might be a good idea.
