Warranty on Used Car

My friend really likes my car, so he's looking at an 08 C-class, and he's wondering about what he can do about warranty. The car has 23K miles, and I'm pretty sure it's not CPO (it's not at a MB dealership). So what are his options with warranty? Can he get warranty from MB?

This and that.
He can check the dealer the car is at and see if they can sell him additional warranty. AFAIK MB will only give warranty on certified used cars.

You can ask the dealer where the car is sold at for a car fax report. It will tell you if it is under the original factory warranty which is 4years / 50k miles. He will also be able to get a aftermarket warranty on the car when or if the runs out. It will be around under 3k depending in what he gets. Hope that helped I just got my c350 so that was what my experience was.

I agree with the people above. Definitely look for additional warranty when it comes to a Mercedes or any other luxury vehicle. My advise if he cannot get the warranty from MB is to look at CPO vehicles or a well tendered vehicle from a private seller.

Used cars buying tips

Getting a peace of mind when you are going to buy a used car is not as easy as it seems to be. This happens when you are not aware or you have not done a proper search on the internet for the particular car. You should buy cars from those dealers who are repudiated and provide certified pre-owned cars warranties. Apart from this you should check that whether the CPO warranty is transferable. You should also check that can you extend the CPO warranty.
