Extended warranty in Sydney
 
To my fellow Aussies, Can anyone please tell me if we can get extended warranty for our C63s in Sydney? I have contacted several dealers and they say they have extended warranty for all Mercs except AMGs.

I am thinking of keeping my car for another 2-3 years but will be risky if no extended warranty.

Thanks very much for any info that you may have.

I got 1 year extended warranty on a C63 "thrown in" when I bought the car as a demonstrator from MB Hornsby ie on top of the balance of the new car 3 year warranty.
I was told at the time that an extended warranty could be purchased closer to warranty expiry as long as the car had a full MB service history. I believe this was a MB warranty not a 3rd party job.
I am pretty sure that you can't get a MB warranty extended once it has expired, you might be able to get a 3rd party warranty but this would be expensive and once you read thru the fine print cover next to nothing.

I am told by my service dealer that they can't provide an extended warranty.

They did say to try Swann insurance as an option for that though...

Unless you are in the potential head bolt failure range I would not think it was worth it. They usually cost a few grand a year, and tend to have limited coverage. So besides a head bolt failure, I'm not sure you could get your money's worth.

Thanks everyone for your help. when I contacted the dealers they said yes initially but when they refer to their service department they came back and informed me that the extended warranty only applies to non-AMG vehicles.

Thanks. I will give MB Hornsby a ring this week.

I bought an AMG from Marshall Parramatta in 2012 and got 2 years extended warranty (total 5 years), might be worth giving them a call.
