c32 Aftermarket Warranty? Crossed up

I'm all crossed up...

I have 41,000 on my C32 and while I still love the car I'm changing careers to something I enjoy more but pays less, at least starting out. Anyway, my factory warranty is up in November and I can't decide what to do with my car. I have sought quotes for an extended warranty and some have come back for a c320 and others, like warrantydirect.com, don't cover any AMG period.

I just had the SC replaced under warranty which is nice, but it makes me leary of going without warranty. The trade in value on these cars seems to be $27/29k while private sale ranges from $31-36k for an '02. I'm thinking about getting a throw away car or an old MB Diesel to beat on...

Anybody know where they have decent warranty specifically for AMG cars?

Thanks

True "That" the dealer option might be the way to go

I'll give them a call, I didn't think MB would sell warranty for an '02, I thought you had to purchase it at the initial sale.l

For the factory MB extended warranty, the original owner has up to 12 months to purchase the warranty. Good luck!

Looks like a no go for the MB warranty, this is from thier website:


Extended Limited Warranty

Mercedes offers a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty that comes with every new Mercedes-Benz. Through the Mercedes-Benz Extended Limited Warranty program, owners may, within one year from the start date of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, extend their peace of mind by purchasing an additional 12, 24, or 36 months of coverage or up to 100,000 total accrued miles, whichever first occurs. Your Mercedes-Benz Dealer can help you tailor an Extended Limited Warranty that delivers the coverage you need to put your mind at ease.

FYI - Finally found a company that writes for the C32, American Mercury quoted me $2295 for 5yr/100k with $100 ded. for the top of the line coverage (named exclusion policy, 7 day loaner, road hazard, etc.). I think that's a pretty good deal, if anybody else wants more info PM me.

Have you checked out Auto Advantage? Has anybody on the forum extended their warranty with them? I was looking for an extended warranty also and was looking for something affordable, which led me to aftermarket warranties.

The website for Auto Advantage is http://www.autowarranties.com/
I haven't gotten my extended warranty yet, but I'm really considering it.

One piece of advice before you drop that $2K+....

Call the shop(s) you will be having your vehicle repaired at and ask them how that insurance company is at paying claims.
Good luck!
