ELW & Prepaid Maintenance Pricing

Just want to get everyone's opinion on these numbers for extending the CPO warranty & pricing on prepaid maintenance for my '15 C300 4Matic Sport. I called around to a few dealerships and was quoted the following numbers for Prepaid Maintenance:
  • 2 Year Prepaid - $1135
  • 3 Year Prepaid - $1465

I'm also coming up to my 50k mile service. I assume the prepaid maintenance covers the spark plugs? My CPO warranty expires at the end of 2019. I may keep my car for another year or 2. For the ELW for my car, I was quoted the following numbers for 2 years.
  • $2500 + 15% surcharge
  • $2869
  • $2969
  • $2995 - 2 yr; 1995 - 1 yr.
Thoughts?

I just bought my 8th Benz over a 16 year period and I haven't spent $2500 TOTAL on any repair that would have been covered (that's on all 7 cars). And in the 4 years plus we've had the 2015 C300 I could total up how much I've spent on Service but I highly doubt it's as much as $1400. I live between two MB Dealers and typically will play their sales against each other. Service advisors often have a "back pocket coupon" they can apply......

All you need is one wrist pin job out of warranty to ruin your day.

I appreciate sharing your experience. In my case I’ve had a had a number of warranty work done in the 18 months of owning my car. This included the wrist pin, the wind noise LI, had a part of the glass Pano roof replaced, aux battery and those are the ones that comes to mind. I know between parts & labor all that work had to have been north of $5K, all covered under warranty.

This is my first MB so it is encouraging to know you haven’t had any major expenses outside of routine maintenance. Decisions, decisions...

Another satisfied customer of Jeff Jackson. He supported us with an extended limited warranty and 3 years of Pre Paid Maintenance on our ‘17 c43 and an extended CPO warranty on our ‘15 C300. He is communicative, trustworthy, and provides great quotes. Contact him directly, as the cost of your warranty depends on your current mileage. Remember- to purchase the extended warranty, the factory 4 year / 50,000 bumper to bumper warranty needs to be in effect. Deal with confidence!

if you are still under the factory warranty, you can have your purchase refunded entirely. Then you can purchase through Jeff. I had to do this on a prior vehicle- the cancellation file is available as a pdf somewhere, or you may need to request it from your dealer’s finance manager. They did it no questions asked and sent me a check- shoot me a pm if you have trouble finding it
