Opinions Please
I have a '08 CL65 (purchased in 2012 with 30000miles) that now has 45000 miles and the warranty will expire next month.
So far I've had both coil packs replaced, ABC hose failure all replaced under CPO warranty within the past three years.
Should I (In Your Opinion) get an extended warranty ( Fidelity) @ $6000 for another three years or just roll the dice? Decisions Decisions

Get the extended warranty. I have no experience with that generation but if you cannot or just won't work on your own vehicle then pay for the warranty. You'll get your money's worth with the future ABC repairs alone.

Thanks for the reply...........................it's not that I can't/won't work on my own vehicle as I've done most of the work on my previous cars...(see sig). It's just....to me anyway....the V12 is a different animal.

Idk how pricey the engine mount is on a CL65 but on an SL65 it was close to 4 grand, if book time calls for the same mount of labor along with other misc stuff that could go wrong, like valve blocks, struts, abc pump, then I'd go for it

Took car in for 50000 mile service and asked SA to give it a good looking over as warranty was about to expire. Also mentioned vibration at idle and was told that both engine and tranny mounts were replaced under warranty.
On a side note, spoke with dealership about warranties and it was suggested to look into Continental. I asked them for a quote and was told that approval was needed at a higher level as car has reached the seven year old mark.
Was informed today that Continental will not cover the V12.
