$100 deductibles could add up quickly on multiple small repairs.
What kind of prices to they have for $0 deductible?

Working with a dealer right now and for what your looking at 7/70k $100 ded should cost around $850.. for 7/100k $100 ded should be around $1420. I'm looking at 7/85k $0 ded for $1320.
You don't have to buy right away; same price within the first year of ownership plus you can buy from any dealer/any state.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll wait to buy warranty. I was wondering if they would show me their price-cost- and I'll give them $100 over that. (when I first ordered my car and I asked my sales guy about the extended warranty, he said let them make at least $100).

I don't think there is anyway to verify their cost of the warranty, so they will likely just lie about it.
They can say anything when you ask what their cost was.

extended warranty by intrepidspirit

There is a lot of money made on extended warranties. Anyone who has ever bought a new car is aware of how hard they push to sell you the extended warranty.
 
Statistically, it is a poor value. Having said that, if you have a major breakdown or two, it will pay for itself and maybe save you some money. However, check the parts coverage of the warranty. There are literally thousands of parts included and several hundred excluded in most warranties. And if your included part has broken down because of a malfunctioning excluded part, good luck on your warranty claim!
 
Bottom line is: I have never purchased an extended warranty for anything -- appliances, electronics or cars and so far I am way above breakeven!

Just bought mine. Got a 7 year/85000 mile $0 deductible for $1323 added a care pkg of 28(3mo/3000mi for 7yrs) oil/filter change coupons for $200. Never really believed in contracts before but just have a little premonition that it might not be a bad idea on this new and very complicated vehicle with labor rates over $100/hr.
At least I'll sleep a little better plus if I do sell earlier it's a good selling point.

According to Cars Direct MRSP listings, the base is $325 over the MRSP on the Chrysler website. Similarly, the touring is up $325, while the C is up $500.
 
Cars Direct does not list the limited (at least for my zip code.)

I have two C's, one manufactured on February with a base price of $26,740 and the other on June with a base of $32,370. Is a whopping increase of $5,630 in just 4 months. That's the economic function of demand vs offer, so imposing the product's price.
