Hi Mary,
Do you see any Mercedes dealerships in the Orange County even Los Angeles area that offer your service? I would feel more comfortable buying through a MB dealer that would do the work too. Thanks again!!!

I don’t have any MB dealers in that area.

Self ensure. Put 30k on the side Just in case.

There is a reason why insurance companies take the risk and make all that money. They created that "culture".

Just my thought.
It is amazing how much money I have saved in my life Just not buyig "extended
Warranties".... Electronics, jewelry, home,etc.

There is an ELW available on the SLS, but the vehicle has to meet certain conditions and here are the details:

- A pre-owned SLS would only be eligible for an ELW only if it meets the following conditions:
o The customer purchased the vehicle privately or through a non Mercedes-Benz dealership AND
o The vehicle has not gone through a Mercedes-Benz dealer’s pre-owned inventory AND
o The vehicle is still under the new vehicle factory warranty.
----> Otherwise it would need to be a Certified Pre-Owned by the dealer and then it would be eligible for the CPO ELW.


if the dealer is unsure of the process they should call the WSG (Warranty Services Group)

Thanks!

Chris below can walk you through it. Tell him David with the SLS Roadster in SoCal reffered you.

Spoke to Jamie. Great recommendation. He told me opposite of my local MB dealer - Jamie said as car is STILL under factory warranty AND is NOT being sold by a MB dealer, that extended factory warranty is absolutely possible, and gave me prices.
