Well, my extended warranty is working!
When I got my C32 with 80K miles on it I bought an extended warranty through my credit union who is the lender. It cost me $3k but its paying for itself already. I took it in for a "clunky" front end and a faded instrument display. The dealership is replacing the bushings, cotrol arms, sway bar endlinks, AND instrument cluster! The total bill is $2200!

Yeah I'm glad mine has one through 09 since I've got a ton of things to get checked in this next service:
IC pump
emergency brake pedal
windshield wiper reservior leaks
Right mirror doesn't return to level setting
nav doesnt communicate with the cluster
A/C vents blowing oddly
But it already paid for itself with the bad rear diff replacement.

When I have them find out where it is, I'll let you know for sure. I've refilled mine 3 times in the last 3 months with over 2 liters each time. Keep in mind I've only used them for about 6 sprays in that time.

When I first bought the car I noticed the problems and got it fixed for free. It was thru carmax. Heres a previous post.

I picked up a platinum extended warranty to 100k through Mercury (only excludes wear items and interior trim) for about $2.5k -- haven't had to use it yet but other members on this board say this warranty works just fine. I have a good relationship with my advisor so my car is currently at the dealers getting its final OE warranty checkup (change gas pump, fuel filter, door seals, tranny fluid & filter, thrust arms, & whatever else they can find) before the OE warranty expires at the end of July.

Interested in knowing the company that is backing your warranty? The 3rd party warranty companies that I've seen usually won't honor the warranty payments if taken to a dealership (they usually have 3rd party mechanics that they have on a "list" that they want you to send it to.

I bought an 02 c32 about a year ago. Since I did not know much about c32's, to me it ran fine. However, sometimes it completely lost power. I took it in and they replaced the ic pump. After that, it had the 1500 RPM jerk issue, and it failed the glycol test. They changed the radiator, torque converter, entire transmission, they even changed the tranny ecu. They also replaced the the bushings, cotrol arms, sway bar endlinks. They replaced the sc pulley too(it was noisy). All I am saying, whenever you buy a mercedes, make sure you get a warranty because you do not know what can go wrong. Fortunately, my c32 is running great now after they put all those new parts on it. Not I feel like I got a new car. It cost my warranty company about $13,000 to fix my car ;-). It cost me ONLY $2800 to get the warranty and only $200 deductible when I took the car in the dealership.

O, yea and almost forgot, they also had to change my heated seat control module, because my heated seats caused my battery to die. And also they changed my licence plate lights.
