After Market Warranty for '03 C230

I tried to find a reputable aftermarket warranty, most of the ones I find online look shady. I want one with no cap, and preferrably a place that knows Mercedes vehicles. Anyone know any info about any aftermarket warranties, or even about a MB warranty?

This has been discussed dozens of times. Try the *search* for what companies people have gone with and what their success rate was.

NO WAY! SEARCH?! oh man, where has the search thing been? who invented search? no way..it was there the whole time? ohhh nooo!!! who put, who-who put it there? no way!

okay enough of that, i did search, my answer seems to not have been fully answered since stuff in the forums are about MB extended warranty, which doesn't necessarily apply to me because I'm not the original owner.

Warrantees granted online are illegal in California as of now, but over the phone is perfectly legitimate. Basically you can get an aftermarket warranty over the phone with no inspection, but you wont' be able to bring the car in for any service for up to 90 days usually. They don't want you covering preexisting issues.
