Here\'s some VERY exciting news from DODGE! 100,000 mile warranty included!

Please correct me if I'm wrong... but I don't see any Viper exclusion here!

Now's your chance to purchase a new Coupe or Roadster and NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR SNAKE FOR 100,000 MILES or 7 YEARS!!!!

Auburn Hills, Mich., Nov 1, 2001 - As America enters the holiday season, more and more people will be travelling by car than any other time in recent memory. Peace of mind is more important than ever. In response, Chrysler Group today announced its "Home for the Holidays" program, which will provide - at no charge - a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain protection plan on any 2001 and 2002 Chrysler, Jeep® or Dodge vehicle purchased between November 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001.

"Quite simply, we want people to feel secure that their car, truck or minivan will be taken care of for a long time," said Jim Schroer, Executive Vice President - Global Sales and Marketing. "This holiday season will be an extra special one for all Americans and their families. And we all want to be extra close to friends and loved ones. With so many other things on people's minds, we want to assure our customers that the long-term protection of their vehicle won't be a concern."

Schroer continued: "The 'Home for the Holidays' program is a significant initiative because it is designed to shift consumers' attention to the value of our vehicles, rather than on the size of the discount, such as the current zero percent financing offers on select Chrysler Group vehicles that will end November 19."

"Instead of focusing only on discounts, we want consumers to be better informed on the attributes of our products -- quality, value, performance and the many other 'why-buys' that make our products so attractive," said Schroer.

George Murphy, Senior Vice President - Global Brand Marketing said: "We have a portfolio of some of the freshest products in the industry, with vehicles like Chrysler PT Cruiser, Jeep Liberty and the just-introduced Dodge Ram, along with great value pricing on our 2002 models. When you combine all that with the security of an extended service plan, we think we offer consumers the best opportunity in the market to buy a new car or truck."

My local Viper tech called me on the phone today and told me the same thing!! I am just waiting around for the "but", "except" or "excluding" and I have not heard one yet!

Are we to believe that it is THE reason for this extended warranty?

What a joke,the REAL reason,as with the 0% interest is to SELL cars.
Do they think that we are this naive?

If they want us to "feel secure" what about giving us a 7/100 on those yellow sills?

Just bought a new PT Cruiser a few months ago, will this 7 year warranty be retro to the 2002 models? Otherwise, I will have to buy the extended warranty, doesn't seem right, as we missed out on the 0% financing too! That would be a nice step in the right direction for Chrysler to take, making the warranty retro to all 2002 Chrylser Corp cars purchased, regardless of when.

Combine the 0 interest, the 100/7 warranty and the Family and Friends program. What a deal! I bought a 2002 Jeep GC Overland last week with the F&F deal and love it. If anyone needs a car, Jeep, truck or wants a new Viper, now is the time to buy.

Did someone forget to run this by the legal dept.? Look for a quick correction. I would be interested in Pemberton and other dealer response on this one.

DCX has taken it in the shorts this month. While Ford & GM are seeing a 25-30% increase in sales, DCX has only seen a 5% increase. All due to their limitations on the zero percent interest financing. This is their Grand Shining Hope for resurecting sales that won't come back for a long time.

Confirmed! VIPERS included!

by the way... first owner only .... unless,

You upgrade to more comprehensive bumper to bumper warranty which will be offered at a reduced rate since the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty is already provided with the vehicle.... then the warranty will be transferable.

BUY NOW! KEEP 'EM FOR 100,000 miles! WOW!

Very cool deal. Nothing says confidence like a 100k warranty. At 190 mph that's still over three weeks of worry free driving...

Re: Here\'s some VERY exciting news from DODGE! 100,000 mile warranty included!

Am I the only one that sees the car manufactures mortgaging their future? What happens to sales when they stop the 0% financing and the 100,000 year warranty?

I wouldn't want to be the one one holding automobile manufacturing stocks when they stop this offer! Sales will go DOWN sharply and the stocks will plummet. It's only a band aid for their bottom line and the economy.

It makes me think we could be in for tougher times........ I seriously hope it works for the better of our country.

Re: Here\'s some VERY exciting news from DODGE! 100,000 mile warranty included!

Most makes are now in the same situation, all offer 0% financing for some amount of time. However, now DC has upped the ante by offering a longer service contract for free. Like Mark O said eariler, I see lots of FWD trannys coming back to haunt Mother Mopar in the future! These kinds of deals can only be offered for a very limited time. I think they are all hoping the economy picks back up before long, but for now, DC sales are in a dive, and they have to right the ship first, or it might be bail out time again from the US Gov't. Don't forget, Ford just settled a 2 billion dollar law suit, that will take a while to recover from too, especially with the economy the way it is right now.

Re: Here\'s some VERY exciting news from DODGE! 100,000 mile warranty included!

Yep, it's true, and the proof is in the listing to upgrade to a upgraded service contract. The Viper is listed as being eligible for the upgrade. Holy Smokes, you go off to the Viper Days Finals and come home to this bombshell!! Pretty darn exciting and since the financing wasn't marketed first by Chrysler, they sure fired a Scud missile with this salvo. Let's go after GM and Ford big time !!! Secrecy was utmost, as no one knew a thing about this until it hit!!

It would not suprise me if they start raising the car prices a little to offset the 0%. Who knows maybe 1 day they might have the 0% built into the cost?
