Not exactly the same.. I get a loaner or rental and the warranty can be transferred for a modest fee.


Any good dealer (key word GOOD) will give you a loaner (usually off the used car side) while you have repairs done under warranty.  Sending you out on foot while your fairly new ride is broken will surely not result in good word-of-mouth referrals.

As for your warranty transfer, I was reading http://www.jeep.com/crossbrand/warranty/pdf/09_Wrangler_LPLW_2nd_Ed.pdf section 2.4 para (f). 

Either way, comparing the warranties of Genisis and Wrangler is pretty much apples and oranges.  You can't take the top down and climb rocks with a Genisis just like you can't enjoy 375hp in affordable luxury in a Jeep.

Both good rides IMO.  I had a new TJ a few years back and loved it, but all of the local riding spots got shut down :frown: so I traded it.

I should clarify... The purchased extended warranty (repair contract) is transferable via a fee. That follows the vehicle IF the new owner applies for the transfer. They have 30 days to do so after purchase.

The Wrangler will be a long term vehicle. With my S2000 sold, I'm looking for something else to counter the Jeep. Been looking for an old TVR M series, but the pickens are slim and most are worn out or over-priced for their condition. I would prefer a 1600cc Cortina model.. I did find a '74 2500M locally, but the Triumph inline 6 needs an overhaul and every suspension bushing is worn out... $3,500 is the asking price; I'd offer $3k and expect to spend another $6,000 to $8,000 to get it into respectable shape. Everything in the drive train is well worn. The body is very good, with no repairs to the fiberglass. Still, there's a lot of work involved and I really don't have the time to spend right now.

Just realized something. I guess the pay for newly commissioned officers in the airforce is better than I thought...
