A question about the MB extended warranty. I intended to put lots of miles on my car. I'm curious to know what folks think of the extended warranty and how much it would cost. It seems to me to be a 'must have' but this is my first MB.

Thanks again,
Dan

If you are going to keep the car

longer than the new car warranty

then yes I would purchase the

MB extended warranty that covers

as much as possible


Thank-You
D.B.

Yes, I aim to keep it for 5 years, and maybe more. Mileage wise I'll certainly exceed the original warranty.

As always - thank you very much D.B. - you've been super helpful.

I'll take this advice too and get the extended warranty from my dealer.

Best,
Dan

A 5 year 100K mile warranty (ELW) for your car has a list price of $4750.
There is no requirement that you need to buy it from your selling dealer.

You can probably save 15%-20% or so by shopping around. If you buy it across state lines, you also save your home state's sales tax.

There's a Forum (sub Forum - under the Technical Forum) that has loads of info and recommendations for dealers who sell by phone with substantial discounts.

I've also just today posted the MSRP of the various ELW combinations there.

Hope this helps.

Great and super helpful information- thank you, Bill!

You're very welcome, Dan.

It might also be interesting information for all AMG model buyers to note that the price for the 7/75 ELW warranty has increased, in the last 3 years (2013 price list compared to the 2016 list), by 91% (Not a typo).

You can all draw you own conclusions as to why MB felt that this kind of price increase was needed...

Hope this helps.

I think you should have warranty for any AMG car especially if you are putting miles on it. If you can find CPO you can get unlimited mile warranty. Also great for resale.

Great information with self standing key takeaways. As someone new to this space, I can't thank you guys enough for helping with great data.

Regarding MB extended, I'm not sure they cover struts anymore. If not go elsewhere. My easycare warranties covered triple the cost on last two cars. Easycare was great because it covered wheels and tires, usually a 1000$ cost for 3 years.

Just purchased 2 year unlimited miles extended warranty for my CPO from Cassandra, $3850. Selling dealer first quoted $6100, then $4900, then $4500. :-)

BillyD

Who or what is Cassandra? Thanks.

spatty99

Cassandra is a MB dealer rep in Wisconsin, contact info was noted above. She was great and had an excellent price.

BillyD

Thank you.

Here are the two leading sales people that everyone likes in these forums. (Their names keep on coming up over and over again as very helpful and competitive) I got quotes from both and both were very nice to deal with and much cheaper than everyone else.

Jeff Jackson jjackson@mblouisville.com
Cassandra Castro ccastro@iamilwaukee.com

Cassandra handled my 3 yr extension for 17 S65 cab to 7/100 for 6600. I did not seek other quotes but the Miami dealer had told me previously that the cost for a 16 S65 coupe would be around 8500. Cassandra was a delight to work with and made the process smooth and easy. Thanks to all for the first win from MB World membership.

I picked up a CPO '17 E43 AMG and opted to buy the additional 2yr ELW from MB for $3895 (originally quoted around ~$4,800). That gave me a total of 7yr/unlimited mileage warranty with $0 deductible. Knowing how expensive these cars are to repair, I think it was a win especially to get it with unlimited mileage.

BillyD

Cassandra has the best prices for ELW of ANY of the names mentioned here. I just secured a 7/75 ELW for my Tier 4 AMG car at a far better price than any of the several names often mentioned on this site.

you able to link that thread here?

Wow this thread is long ..... I didn't see a static page with contacts so I searched through and saw a few contacts.

I have a 2019 GLC300 4matic, I bought the service plan from MB a smaller dealer gave me a discount and now I am looking at getting the 7/75 or something like a 10/100... I don't drive much so it will hit the years before miles !!

Let me know if any other dealers are offering good deals for MB warranty plans !!

Thank you..

I keep the cpo as long as I can, but after its over, i have bought the Fidelity platinum. It seems to be pretty reliable and cost is fair

Highline-Autos.com

You can send me an email at tgibson@highline-autos.com or text/call at (602) 909-9216. Freedom Warranty offers a Complete Manufacturers extension policy for 7 years up to 125k miles. Service claims accepted at all Mercedes Benz dealers in North America or licensed independent shops. Same coverage as the MB warranty, without the $$$ the dealer stacks on top.

Unless she has a new email address it get kicked back, anyone have a new contact outside of Jeff to compare prices?

The address you sent your message to wasn't found at the destination domain. It might be misspelled or it might not exist. Try to fix the problem by doing one or more of the following:

C2 Turbo

Fidelity goes by mileage and years meaning the earlier you get the coverage lower the quote would be. Factor in $4000 for 2 yr/CPO + another $6000+ for 3-4 years by Fidelity, you are close to $10,000 for 5 year warranty vs getting Fidelity now 7/75 for around $5000.

I recently bought a Fidelity 6/65 for my 2014 E63S wagon with 38K miles for $4700.

GLC3004ME

Anyone have a good contact for MB warranties other than Jeff, just trying to shop the prices. BTW MB comes with a 4 year warranty, so buying the 3 extra years seems a bit pricey when it's adds up to about 675 a year x 3 years ?

Casandra email doesn’t work anymore guess she’s gone.
