prepaid maintenance plan worth it?

The dealer offers me prepaid maintenance for $899. My car is leased for 39 months.
From what i understand i have 3 services during this time. Is $899 worth it? The dealer tells me if it don't take the prepaid plan it will cost me $1300. I'm a first time Mercedes owner. $1300 seems a little high but not impossible.

According to the Mercedes Benz USA web site, a 3 yr/30,000 miles pre-paid maintenance plan (two "A" services, and one "B") is $975 for the C300, so it sounds like you are getting a $76 discount...pretty good since there's not much profit margin for the dealerships with those plans.

It is definitely worth it to include it into your lease because it gets residualized so you only end up paying around 37% of it.

I went the CPO route (no lease) and - after the finance hombre offered to credit the first two payments and indicated the first two services would be complimentary - I financed.

I would hope that includes (10k service interval) the 30000 and 40,000 mile services.

Car gets good mileage (purchased at 23,000; 8 months later odo says 27,000. Seems fine.

To late for that MB007 . have the car for 7 days now. I might just buy it since everyone thinks its a good deal. never serviced a benz before so i wasn't sure of the costs. In any case i have a full year since the date i got my lease to buy it.
