Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
For 2004 and 2005 regardless of where you bought it you can get the 7/70
as second owner for $150 if you do it BEFORE the basic 3/36 coverage expires. I bought (stole) my '04 from a GMC dealer who didn't have a clue about Jeep warranties. It had problems ;-) I got it cheap. I drove it up the street to the Jeep dealer who did over $2k worth of warranty work (3/36) without batting an eye. I'm sure not all Jeep dealers are like this, but this is a small town and reputation means something. He also ran my VIN and said I got under the wire for the "free" 7/70.

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
Interesting twist on the 7/70. Mine is an '03. I would pay the $150 if
it was necessary and take the chance that they would actually honor it.

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
Not to worry. If yours is an '03 the 7/70 is attached to the vehicle
(free). There is $100 deductible, but if you're getting a new engine or tranny what's $100? twaldron wrote: > Interesting twist on the 7/70. Mine is an '03.

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
Thanks everyone for all the info. I was inclined to spend the $150
anyway, but I'll go talk to the dealer tomorrow about it. Now I'm wondering if the Toyota dealership wanted to charge me $150 just to file a piece of paper that I could file myself for free.
