I also have an '02 and looked quite a bit for an extended warranty but found nothing of any value. This is despite my car having only 38k miles on the odometer. I did find a company or 2 that would cover the car except for the ABC system. Another company offered by a local MB dealer did cover the ABC but the cost was an unbelievable $11,000 for a couple years of coverage which is totally ridiculous. With your car having over 100k on it, I doubt if you find any company interested. Good luck.

for future reference, i would like to humbly and politely suggest finding the warranty *before* buying a potential money pit like a used benz

I really doubt you will find a worthwhile company willing to provide a good value warranty for an 8-year-old, high mileage CL. ($11,000 to get ABC coverage is *not* a good value.)

If you do find such a warranty, please do post it here, there may be many interested members!

Might want to get a quote from AAA.

Did you get a service history from the dealer? If the ABC has been maintained properly it is reliable. If it has a proper rebuild before you bought it, or was trouble free.....you may have a good experience. Remember IF!
