When I bought my 2013 CPO C Class in late April with 17,000 miles on the clock the B service had just been done by the dealer. So if I decide I want to sign up for three year prepaid maintenance can I defer that purchase until After the next A service so I can get 2 B's and one A? I'm asking because I just got an e-mail from the dealer inviting me to call to discuss.
Thanks

Wait until after you do the A service to sign up for it?

How's this for dealer honesty? Since the answer wasn't forthcoming I called the dealer for a little more info. The finance guy at the dealer told me to not bother since in my case the car is already past 10,000 mi it would cost more to prepay 2 years for example at $900 than to pay as I go for about $600 for the next A and B service. I like these guys.

$600 for an A and B service is much less than what I pay here in Tucson.

This just confirms what the salesman had mentioned during one of our conversations when I was putting the deal together. He told me at that time the A was about $140ish and the B was about $463.

Shouldn't be a useful buy overall. Assuming you are in the U.S. your CPO should have two years of prepaid maintenance included for free.

How? Where is that written?

You can sorta verify it here:

They have been running this promo since January. They just keep refreshing it every two months to make it seem new.

I got it on my MB purchased in January and have seen it every month since.

I didn't finance so that pretty much eliminates me from that program.

Why so? The financing piece is separate from the pre-paid maintenance piece. I didn't get the financing piece due to my car being a 2014 which is excluded from any financing incentives as it isn't old enough yet.

I was allowed to get it when i hit 50k, and it covered my 60,70,80k services. i was charged $1500

As I stated initially, unless you captured the PPD maintenance in the current financing deal it's less expensive for me to pay for the services as they come up than to buy the prepaid maintenance at higher cost. YMMV
