Extended Warranty
My Original factory Warranty on my 2002 CL 500 ends in a few days, I spoke to someone at the Mercedes Benz dealership and he said that the extended warranty is not as comprehensive and not as good as the original factory warranty and it will cost me over $3,500 for 5+ years.
Do you think it is worth the investment...? Or should I take the risk and pay for the repairs myself? I only drive the car on the weekends.
Please let me know what you think!!!
Thanks

IMHO I would go for it. Repairs on these vehicles are VERY expensive. All you need is 1 expensive item to fail and you've recouped your investment. My CL was purchased with 26K miles and now it has 34K. I've had the following repaired thus far:
A/C Compressor
A/C Module
Power Steering Pump
Fan Tensioner
Cat Converter
Transmission Shifter Module
These items alone were over $7K parts and labor and they all failed in the same year!
I say buy the warranty and don't think twice. Best of luck.
