New owner, advice on extended warranties and maintenance plans?
All,
Good morning! New owner of a 2017 C43 w/29k. I have always done my own maintenance (perfectly confident doing this vehicles oil changes/brakes/rotors, maybe even brake fluid flush though the forum responses seem muttled on equipment for that... so maybe no).
That said, since this vehicle was not a CPO car, should I go with a 3rd party extended warranty? Type?
What about the maintenance prepaid packages. Got a quote of 2yr/$1800 and 3yr/$2400.
Principally concerned of a future electronic/battery/system glitch and thinking the extended warranty would be valuable for this?
Thinking of the extended warranty also. Have a 2017 CLA sports package that has 3 months left of factory warranty. ONLY have 16K miles on the car. (Drive like 6K a year. So the extended 7/75K is good for me. BUT at $2700 through MB dealer in FL, is it worth it? The only issues I have had is the battery being replaced once cause I let the car sit for 6 months. NOW I use a trickle charge when putting car up for 4-5 months. SEEMS to have worked
NOTHING else has really gone wrong. SO IS IT WORTH the $2700 and have it through MB? I have heard other warranty companies are so tough to get them to process claims
THOUGHTS? (As a side note, my son is a certified Lexus mechanic and can fix any car. BUT he lives 1700, miles away. HE claims it is a waste of money. He says 98% of MB never come into the shop before 75,000 mileage.)

Good insight. Yeah mine would Not be the MB warranty as this wasn’t a Certified Preowned vehicle So that leaves me with the original question of what company has a good reputation as an extended warranty provider And should I get it? Still have factory warranty for another year.
