Supra said" My question is, can a Viper whose warranty has expired be covered under the extended waranty? My understanding of the DC extended warranty is that it has to be purchased BEFORE the original warranty has expired. Is this true?"
Supra, do you mean that the Viper's standard 3yr./36,000 mi warranty has run out ?? Or that a D-C extended warranty such as a MaxCare 7yr./70,000 mi.has run out ????
The reason that I ask is that when reaserching this about a month ago for several of our members, a Gen.Mgr. here checked with his Zone Mgr. and reported to me that one could STILL purchase a D-C extended warranty between the 3rd and 4th year of ownership ( "date in service") as long as the car did not "disqualify itself"...such as a race car, salvage title, etc.
In the past, I was personally was told that this was NOT the case when I purchased extended warranties for our Vipers...NO SUCH "grace period" of 12 months existed at that time according to the D-C extended warranty seller (Dodge dealer).
As tommygun noted, if you mean that it's a D-C extended warranty that has expired, you will by out of luck ...UNLESS you purchase the used car warranty AND the Viper at the SAME TIME from an authorized Dodge dealer.
Tommygun may want to comment upon or correct my impression about this recently discovered "grace period", as I have not tried same AND this is HIS area day-to-day.
Sorry this is so wordy...just trying to help.
