Questions on prepaid maintenance and extended warranty

Hi,

My plan is to purchase a c63s and I plan to keep it for more than 5 years. Do I need to purchase MB extended warranty when I buy the car or can I get it later when the new car warranty is expiring?

Same thing with prepaid maintenance, do I buy that upfront or just buy it when I bring it in for service?

Thank you.

I have never heard of that. If you go over the 4 years or 50,000 miles then there is a bump in the price.

With regards to PPM, you have to do it before the first 10,000 mile service. However, the rear diff fluid change at 1,875 miles is also covered with PPM.

Hey guys,

Sorry to bring an old thread back but I was wondering if there were deals to be had on PPM and extended warranty. I've heard you can get a good deal on the warranty but I haven't heard anything on the maintenance. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

My dealer told me the PPM went up for MY2016 by like 200 bucks for the 4 year/40000 mile plan. Waiting on JP to confirm this but as of last week he had not heard anything yet.

FWIW, most ppm/extended warranty are a lucrative return for the dealer/manufacturer. I wish there's a brand that would give back to the consumer on these area.

I think I too, am gonna buy both.

Looks like Extended Warranty is a little over 6k for 7/75. How much is PPM and a good deal for that?

MY2016 is 2575+tx for 4yr/40000 miles according to my dealer which is what I plan on going with.

How much is 6/100 for an ext warranty?

What's a 4/40 warranty? You sure it is for a C63 and not C300/400

There is a $100 profit in PPM. Don't try to be a hero and "beat" the dealer up for a better deal...

4yr / 40000 miles.

According to my dealer it is $2575 +tax for it.

For a c400 the same thing is 1275 + tax

If you do not have 40k miles on it by 4 years do you still get all the services listed for the 4yr service stop? that is spark plug time.

He is talking about Pre paid Maintenance, not warranty
