So I have been pricing the lifetime max care $100 deductible warranty. I have priced seven different dealership thought the southern US. Pricing from $2563.00 to $3880.00. I know they all pay the same, $2145.00 plus or minus a few bucks. I have heard, " it costs us more then others" , "we all have to sell it for the same price", " it's this price plus the $495 dealer fee". WTF , same old adage , if they're months are moving, they're lying. Another know a good reliable dealership to get one from?

I have bought several ESPs from Zeigler, for both Ram and Ford trucks. Sometimes they will send you a coupon code as well if you ask. They also have 12 month interest free payment plans.

I just bought mine through chryslerwarrantys.com. I would explore all the reputable sites like, what someone mentioned, Zeigler, and there may be a few more. I found they didn't vary all that much. I paid 2.8K for mine, I might have gotten it on Zeigler for 2.6, I don't recall.

I just got a quote from Clay Robbins at Zeller Motors on my 14 Ram for a Lifetime Maxcare. It was $2580. I got my purchasing dealership in Green Bay (Gandrud) to match it because they were refunding my aftermarket warranty money to me which made it easier. I did use Clay last month for my wifes new Jeep Grand Cherokee warranty. We got a 7 year 85,000 Mile Maxcare for $1410. He always comes out $50 cheaper than Ziegler.

No problem. You can get it as long as your truck is within the original warranty, but it costs more after the first year. I purchased the lifetime warranty for my Challenger six months after I purchased the car. and when I traided the Challenger in for my Rebel three years later, I transferred it to the truck.

It's actually within 4 years or 48,000 miles and I'm 99.9% sure it coated me the same as it would have it it was a brand new truck according to the quote I pulled from Ziegler. You can not transfer or get a prorated refund on the lifetime warranties.

You mighty me write an the 48 months. I have been purchasing all of me auto's from the same Harold Zeigler salesman since 1989. Plus they have the best price on the warranty.

Just an FYI, Zeller will beat them by $50

I just got off the phone with Clay at Zeller Motors and I just paid 2630 for the lifetime care warranty with 100 deductible on my 2015 ram 1500 and I was 1000 miles away from my 36,000 mile mark. On another thread I thought about trading for aRam 2500 but it was going to be too much money so I'm purchased the lifetime warranty.

ended up getting the lifetime max care $100 deductible from Clay Robbins at Zellar for $2630 all in. Ram itself wanted almost $4800 :crazy: and my local dealer was $3880. Zellar for the win.

been looking into these extended factory warranties as well. Does anybody know if they are transferable when trading in or to a new owner if sold privately?

Lifetime maxcare is not transferable. It is refundable up to a pro-rated miles/years, but after 100K miles I think you get $25.

There are lower plans that are transferable to a new owner privately, but I'm not knowledgeable about them. I just know Lifetime Maxcare is not.

or 7 yrs....and the time clock starts the day you bought the truck...NOT the warranty.
