CPO Extended Warranty about to expire

My 2010 C63's extended warranty is about to expire. I purchased the car 4 years ago with 30k miles and now have 75k. The car has never had any issues aside from sunroof alignment. So the $4.5k I paid for the extra 2 years of warranty did not pay off for me.

My warranty expires in 2 weeks so I want to bring it in to have a final check done for any problems that I can get covered under warranty.

My Question: What should I specifically ask them to check aside from just telling them to go over the car? I recently moved to Austin so this will be my first time going to this dealer.

At least your car has proven itself to be reliable. I also have the 2-yrs factory warranty after the 1-yr CPO warranty. I paid maybe around $3.6K. It had to go to the shop for airmatic system issues couple of times and those have probably used up $2K-3K. So I'm probably just cutting even. However, being able to sleep at night with a warranty certainly is valued at way more than the remainder. Oh well, insurance is basically paying someone else to take the risk.

I don't think if they will just check on your car as requested, unless things pop up ie CEL light.

I'm not complaining about not using the warranty. I too looked at it as insurance. I'm certainly not upset my house never burned down even though I have homeowners insurance.

Here is the thing. It's like life insurance.
You bet the insurance company you are going to die. They bet you will live and you hope they win.
I just avoided cost equivalent to about half of my premium I paid last September.

I am. I would like for mine to burn to the ground while giving me 15 minutes notice.
