The vehicle I purchased (still waiting for it....) is CPO'd. I know I can purchase one or two additional years of the Extended Limited Warranty. I'm told that I have 30 days to buy this warranty to avoid a 15% surcharge.

I read that some M-B dealers will discount the warranty. If true, how much do they usually discount, and does anyone know of a dealer?

Thanks.

Jason has a guy. PM him. Personally I always bite the bullet and buy as much extension as they're willing to sell. Three years total (plus whatever remains on the original factory warranty). You could also use the 12 month period to shop a 3rd party warranty. I've had both CPO and 3rd party and I much preferred the way Mercedes treated me versus the service contract company.

Bought a CPO with the extra year of MB warranty then two more of the Ltd. extended warranty. I think that they will discount somewhat but I don't really know to what extent they will go. I bought 2 years for about 4400.

Snovv...Give Jeffrey Santos a call. He is a finance person at Mb. Here is his info: jsantos@mbofelmbrook.com, 262-821-5000. I bought my extended warranty from him and the price beat all others by a substantial amount. He doesnt use the escalating scale other dealers use.

Many thanks! You guys are great!

Definitely get the warranty.

My car needed to get the tranny mounts changed, which turned out to be a tranny leak that deteriorated the mounts....which the leaking fluid also messed up the aft engine mounts.

Warranty fixed the leak & replaced all of the mounts. $3400 when all was said & done and I only had to pay $300 of that.

Just curious. Why did you have to pay anyting? Deductible? Was it CPO or extended MB warranty?

mspaul

Any contact for NorCal bay area?
Will need to get extended warranty on my S400 very soon.

snovvman

You do not need to use a local dealer. You can buy the warranty from any M-B dealer.

Garticus

That was for a check & diagnostic.

The tranny leak was discovered after I mentioned I had a weird vibration in the middle of the car during acceleration.

Thanks guys!

Just bought 2 years from Jeffrey Santos. Great guy, very helpful, easy to work with, unbeatable price. Recommended!

I now have extra warranty, remote starter, touch up paint, tune2air, but no car! LOL.

Snovv...Great, now where the hell is the car? Is it finally enroute?

Having the actual car is highly overrated. Until it comes, go by your local MB dealer and flush two hundred dollars down one of their toilets. That will help simulate the actual ownership experience.

No need to be a smart *** Mike.....it's not in your nature.

It could be worse, you could get your car and then get 8 feet of snow over the next 3 weeks so it just sits in your garage.

I got a text message from my sales guy late yesterday reading "The Eagle has left the nest... the liftgate is closed". I told him I was in shock and disbelief.

Yeah, I already know how that feels. I even bought the Mercedes WIS/ASRA & EPC and have the VM all setup. All I can do is stare at the parts and service information.

Maybe Mike is preparing me for the worst. The truck still has to make it across the county. And with my luck....

At least I can go into my garage and sleep in the car.

"At least I can go into my garage and sleep in the car."

Don't do that with the motor running you might not wake up lol

I would like to apologize to the forum community for my outburst. I'm under a lot of stress at work.

Stress, mess, just take a 5 minute break in the back of the S.
