WOW! You paid for a Launch Edition and got an Overland.... it’s no wonder dealerships are asking so much because people will pay.
I’m sure they happily “threw in the window tint, and bedliner” because you gave them so much profit.
Well, $6500.00 was just on warranties. So I really paid $63,000. Plus, $11,000 in options. It was originally 52,000.
Now, you got me looking at a Launch edition, lol.

Idk why people buy warranties, it is such a waste of money IMO. If I were you I would skip the warranty and wait you can always purchase it later within the next 3 years. Maybe FCA will bring back the lifetime warranty that is worth it and not the additional 4 years... But, again I never buy warranty on anything I buy.

Also, the Launch edition was only sold in Ohio. It’s not an available model. So, you have no choice but to pay for all the options. It’s expensive here in Canada too because of our dollar. Like a $10,000 dollar difference.

I always buy warranties especially on a new model. I’ve been a service advisor for 8 years and I’ve seen the results. Warranties for me on cars/trucks anyway.

I was in sales while going to college. Loved selling warranties since 25% of the sale went into my wallet. I personally never buy extended warranties because I've done the math. Extended warranty companies stay in business (and are very profitable) because they know the consumers who buy them will pay more in then the company will have to pay out.

Strike 2. Launch Edition was available in every state, not just Ohio. May not have been available in Canada, but definitely is/was available outside of Ohio.

Ya, I read somewhere and obviously they’re mistaken, that it was just Ohio. Not Canada for sure. Thanks for the correction.

That figures. I'd almost never buy one except at harbor freight because I've definitely used them there. This being a new vehicle I might actually bite on the one geico offers because its in such small increments on top of the monthly premium I won't really notice it and if something big happens then I will be covered.
