2020 C300 - should I get an extended warranty?
I have a 2020 C300. I currently have 10,300 miles on it. I work from home so I don't drive it a lot. There are days at a time that my car sits in my garage. My lease ends in February 2024 - so I am planning to keep my car and finance it until I pay it off. Is it worth it for me to pay $4000 for an extended warranty?

It's pretty easy to rack up 4k in repairs. On the other hand, rare few vehicles never have anything that needs repair. I bought CPO at 28k miles and negotiated $1,600 to extend my CPO warranty an additional two years beyond the included CPO extension.
In that time, I only had the Alternate Battery malfunction (that powers the start/stop system) the repair was $750 at the dealership, covered by the extended warranty. So, the warranty expired without using all its value. However, I believe it's worth it because it insures against a very large bill, which isn't as unlikely as it should be.

My son has a 2019 C300. In Sep 2024 got a check engine light. Problem with the oil pump. We had bought an MB Warranty extension, so a $3k repair cost us nothing. When this warranty runs out, I'm circling buying a 3rd party warranty since MB doesn't offer one. Anyone have any advice on 3rd party warranty companies?
