My friend's C240's factory warranty is about to expire. Car currently has 4yrs and 35k miles. She called dealer about the extended warranties, and they are offering $2500 to extend the warranty by 5 more yrs and to 75kmiles. No deductibles. The price is still kind of high. Does anyone know of better deals out there?

Thanks,
Baron

$2500 for 5 years? i have no idea what the extended warranties usually go for but to me that sounds cheap. imagine what a transmission would cost to replace or anything else, you'd pay for it in $2500 alone. hell i paid $4000 in repairs for my bmw in one year.

I thought you could only get an MB extended warranty if you purchased it during the first 12 months that you owned the car ???

That extended warranty is not through Mercedes. You have to purchase the ext. warranty within 6 months to a year. After that, you are screwed. That warranty is probably provided by a third party through the dealership. I do not recommend a third party warriaty because 99.9 % are scams and have been researched by the government. The 3rd party warranty companies are from over seas and are not governed by the US and the US laws. Most of the Mercedes benz shops do not accept them but, for some reason, your local dealership is selling it. Something I would called 1-800-For-Mercedes and report. That is not a company allowed thing.

my dealer sent me something that is like $2970 for 4 more years or up to 100,000 miles...im lookin at the brochure they sent with it and ur right its not from mercedes themselves... its a thrid party company called major value protection plans...im still debating to get it or not...it depends on my mechanics decision...

i paid $2350 for and extra 3yrs and up to 100k miles on the vehicle, making my warranty 7yr/100k. like saprissa said i thought you could only do purchase it within the first 12 months of purchasing/leasing the car.

FrankW

you mean that little weiner you called 'your mom'?? I didn't know you name your tool. Still in pre-school eh?

i was just quoted $2150 for coverage up to 100K miles (on a c320 4m)

Hey Raunen,
What dealer quoted $ 2150? The So Cal dealers want 2800.

I purchased my 3-year/100,000mi. MB Extended Warranty for my C240 via Courtesy Motors in Chico, California, 530-893-1300 last year for $1,690.00.

Things to keep in mind: (1) You must to buy it within 12 months from date of purchase (2) You can buy it from ANY MB dealer (3) It is transferable (4) Read other posts as to what the additional 3-years/100,000mi. really means since I remember there was some controversy over this.

As to point (4): Say you had a 4yr/50,000 factory warranty, purchased a 3-year/100,000mi. MB Extended Warranty and traveled 25,000 mi/year; your extended warranty would kick-in after 2 years of ownership.

MB of White Plains (NY).

MB of Boston wants $3700.

I'm going to check out Courtesy Motors in Chico (thanks JML).

I bought MB Extended 3yr/100K Warranty from Lisa @ Chico for both of my C320's. Best value, hands down !!!

jlm003 is exactly right. The extended warranty trumps the regular warranty. So as soon as you hit the 50K mile regardless of time, your extended warranty begins. Easy way to look at it is like this: based on the fact that people drive far more than 12,500 miles per year, forget about the years - you basically have a 100K mile warranty (if you buy the exteneded warranty).

I just called Lisa and she transfered me to someone else (she said she doesn't handle the warranty). On an 05 C320 4Matic, I was quoted $2999.

(I apologize for posting info for a C320 in a C240 thread---the other threads on the warranty topic weren't very relevant in terms of pricing info.)
