confused on extended warranty

Hi, guys I live in US, I am buying this 2009 c63 amg, with 24k miles. Now the car doesn't have a warranty please suggest me some extended third party warranty which is not a scam. Lately I have been looking at these extended warranties, the more I read about them the more confused I am getting, due to the bad reviews online. Only existing owners using extended warranties or if you know of some one using them respond, otherwise ignore. please.

Fidelity is probably the best bet and easiest to get. Find a dealer that sells it, you'll have to pay for an inspection at that dealership and you can then purchase the warranty.

There are a few others that are very good as well, really any major company. Fidelity, CNA, etc...

If you don't mind me asking, did you buy it, did they fix any of your issues?. By the way, my dealer suggested royal, online I have found reviewers saying its a scam?. Do you guys know anything about it?

I am also interested in a good third party company that people have used successfully. I was recommended fidelity as well and on forums sounds like they pay out for claims. However if you do a search they have bad reviews. Seems like they all do. Endurance seemed like it had good reviews not sure if they even cover amg that's the problem finding a good warrenty company that covers amg vehicles

Yes I have Fidelity Platium coverage 4 years to 100K.

Someone in this forum had headbolt failure and Fidelity covered full repair - note the car was also tuned as well with not problem.

I did buy it, but have not used it yet. My CPO still goes for a few more months. But as stated, fidelity has covered a headbolt failure for another member.

What is the estimated cost for Fidelity's Extended Warranty?

All depends on coverage terms, deductible options, and how much the dealer wants to make in profit. Just know that for a reasonable coverage term (4yr/60K) with $100 deductible, I would suspect their COST on it is probably between $2500-3000, and they usually want to make between $500-1000 profit on top of that.

I paid 3200 for 4 year/100K Fidelity Platinium coverage over a year ago with 100 deductible. My car was under factory warranty at the time not sure if that matters.

Yes, under warranty will reduce the cost significantly since Fidelity knows that anything that comes up in the immediate future is covered by factory, they are reducing their risk, so not as concerned with charging higher premium.
