: How many of you.......
PCHIEF520 12-03-2006, 04:48 PM Srt8's owners plan on keeping ur jeeps longer than three yrs? I have a habit of changing cars about every three to four yrs. i was thinking about adding the extended warrenty to 7yrs/70,000 miles, don't know how much that would cost to add. I want to see if i can get free oil changes for life from the dealer. My wife asked me if i buy this jeep, how long would i keep it? i told her this would be the one i would pay off and keep for a long time. How much $$ to maintain the srt vs a jeep GC? My lease is just about up, so far i paid for all Oil changes, and brakes once in three yrs.
Black_SRT8 12-03-2006, 05:17 PM The extended warranty is around $2300.
jlandbl 12-03-2006, 05:38 PM I plan on keeping mine for a long time but I will not be buying the extended warranty until the standard one is just about to run out. Here are the prices for Maximum Care that I received for the SRT8 GC with a $100 ded:
5y/70K=1690, 5y/85K=2220, 5y/100K=2790, 7y/70K=2090, 7y/85K=2780, 7y/100k=3305.
Mango 12-03-2006, 06:14 PM I have a habit of keeping cars, as you can tell by my sig. The vette was handed down to me. I plan to keep this truck for a long, long time. I opted for the extended warrenty.
Mrdredd 12-03-2006, 06:33 PM Probably won't keep mine for more than 1-2 years ... something better and faster will be out then.
SUPERFLYSRT8 12-03-2006, 07:16 PM I plan to keep mine for quite a few years. I seem to get attached to my cars after a while........Well the good ones anyway:D :D
Ink Pump 12-03-2006, 07:47 PM 5 Years exactly then I'm going to get the GCSRT12 which will be out by then
Sheri'SRT8 12-03-2006, 10:20 PM We usually keep cars for at least 4-6 years.
I'll probably get the extended warranty pretty quickly. There are some good vendors out there for them, and the Maximum care warranty provides first day rental, so that when you have a warranty claim, the rental for the first day is on them.
SRTJeep 12-04-2006, 06:53 AM Who knows what will happen in the next coming years? Keoto Treaty scares me some as if passed this will mean the end of muscle cars, $5 a gallon gas prices or more. Think about it, 2008 elections will determine if it passes this time! I bought the extended warranty with my JGC, 7/70. I may sell mine soon anyway? Gene

The largest economies in the world (USA, China, India) refuse to sign the Kyoto Protocol becuase of the strain it would put on those countries. However, as you said, the protocol is becoming more of a reality.
Upgrading to the Challenger, Gene??
I usually get a new car every year. I think the jeep is a keeper as it makes a great daily driver/winter beater.
PsychoSRT8 12-04-2006, 02:37 PM i'll be keeping mine for 3 years for now, then i will deside according to the new cars out at the time.
Goldengreek5 12-04-2006, 02:41 PM I'll be gettin a 2010 Jeep srt8 by then!!
SRTJeep 12-04-2006, 05:23 PM Challenger is a possiblity, who knows? I hope they bring it to the 07 NATS this time? (prototype) Where it needs to be displayed, maybe some test drives? GL (J) Gene
PorscheSRT8 12-05-2006, 07:46 PM Never kept anything past 18 months for the last 10 years. BUT I think I love this Jeep so much this may be my first long term whip.
Ink Pump 12-05-2006, 09:20 PM I just figured out using the same rate of increase from the last 10 years that Gas will be $10 gallon in 10 years. Will we still run SRTS???
FastJeepSRT8 12-06-2006, 07:01 PM I'll be keeping mine until SRT gives us a 500hp Jeep! :D
I think the extended waranty makes good sense for the SRT8. Hell just the oil change alone hits you for $80-$100.
