Ram extented warranty Yes or NO

2012 Dodge 3500 4x4 with cummins diesel. Got letter and called to check on offer can buy extended warranty thru 2019 or 85,000 mile for $2,410.00 I have 30,000 miles currently on truck no problems not sure what I want to do but offer ends on the 26th. I know truck has 100,000 warranty on motor and powertrain also if you dont use extended warranty full $2,410.00 is refunded. So Ram is betting that I will use the warranty but cost to them less than $2,410.00. Just not sure that I will have repairs amounting to more than $2,410.00 before waranty would run out. Any thoughts

I bought the warranty for my 2011. My way of thinking is with all the electronics on the new vehicles it was worth the bumper to bumper with no deduction. I didn't get the deal of if not used you get it back, hadn't heard of that one.

I've never heard of that before, but think it through. You already have 100k warrantee on the power train. Other than power train issues, do you think you will need a 2400 repair?? What if you make a warrantee claim for $500. Do they then not refund any of the 2400 or do they refund the difference. Most extended warrantees benefit the manufacturer of dealer, not the consumer.

They will refund the cost of the warranty if you don't use it? I have never heard of that before, wow!
