Extended Warranty

Just bought a new c63 AMG. They offered an extended warranty for 7yr 75,000mi for $6700. I only drive <10k mi a year but not sure if the extra 3 years warranty is worth $6700. Any thoughts from you anyone? My auto insurance has provided extended warranties on my previous cars, but they won't even offer that option with this AMG which scares me HAHA.

I'd also be interested to hear more about extended warranty options. I've heard that these can be heavily negotiated and bought through any MB dealer, but don't know specifics.

How long do you plan on keeping the car? The factory one is longer than most people keep the car but you may be one of the long term people. You may want to consider buying a warranty toward the end of your warranty. This way you're not paying for something you may not keep if you decide to sell the car.

Another er thing to keep in mind is you can cancel your warranty, aftermarket, and get a refund. I think this is at any point but I'm not 100% sure. They will pro rate the warranty and I believe there is a cancellation fee.

I know most cars I've owned they call and offer me an extended warranty toward the end of the warranty, even after selling the cars.

I usually keep my cars until 95,000mi and then get rid of it. Had a 335i prior to this car and it was only until the last 2 years I was having to replace parts, and even then it was less than $2000/yr. I'm assuming AMG's may be more expensive to fix due to brand name alone, but the question is how MUCH more.

The extended warranty my dealership is offering is 100% transferable in case I do sell the car.

The other issue is that the dealership says that if I purchase AFTER 30 days from car purchase, the price goes up 25%. I have a feeling that's them trying to screw me over. Would be nice to hear what deals others have gotten on this.

You can buy the MB ELW from any Mercedes dealer. Based on this thread, I called Marc Rose at W.I. Simonson and got a price I was happy with for the ELW for my C43. It took a few minutes over the phone for him to enter the information, and I got an e-mail with the paperwork shortly after that. I also got a quote from Eugene Matusov (MatusovE@autonation.com), who was also mentioned in that thread. He offered a similar price. Both were far less than my dealer offered. Hopefully they're able to offer a good discount on the C63 ELW too!

not true, as a matter of fact the price becomes more competitive towards the end of your manufacturer warranty. You'll even get offers from 3rd party companies and other dealers would compete for your business. I had 3 dealerships trying to outbid each other when i had to purchase an extended warranty on my old w204. Also, by that time, you'll be able to decide whether the warranty that you'd need would be more on length of time, or mileage based, depending on the condition of your car.

Hope this helps.
