Would you buy this CPO warranty for this price?
For a cl65 amg, 24,000 miles, 2 year warranty for $5,200. What do you cl65 owners think? Should I play it safe or keep the cash and hope nothing goes wrong. That's a lot of cash btw... I'm undecided. Help please.

In case more info is needed, this car will most likely be driven daily. The warranty covers engine and suspension.
I guess I'm just trying to gauge here if the average repair bills for daily driven cl65's exceed $5200 over two years.

nope
i would buy an aftermarket for less then half and be done with it....
costs in next 2 years
2 new coils and possible eci and ofcourse maybe lets say abc goes....then this will all add up to well over $6k

Your worst nightmare...
Yes. I would recommend you buy the Daimler Chrysler warranty. i's Bumper to bumper for like less than $2K. By the way I just replaced both my coil packs for roughly $2k.

I bought the car used and the warranty had expired. Isn't the $2,000 Daimler an extended warranty only? This $5,200, 2 year warranty was the best price I could find so far. Anyone have any other leads?

You state this is a CPO warranty and I assume it is for a 2005 CL65 that you are showing in your signature. Only can get a CPO warranty from the dealer when buying a used CPO car. If that is the case I would get a 3 year CPO coverage. Anything else is a after market warranty. I would not want to own a CL65 that was not under warranty.

I paid $6100, for a 3year 100,000 mile MB Warranty. 2 days after the warranty went into effect it paid for a coil pack $1100.
I wouldn't mess around with aftermarket, If you read the fine print they don't cover a lot of stuff.

Nevermind, this isn't a CPO warranty from factory. It's an aftermarket warranty. I was using the term wrong. I can't get a factory warranty because I'm not the original owner and the warranty expired. I can only go expensive aftermarket warranty or no warranty.
The car has 19k miles on it. The aftermarket company is "Zurich" (it's not some crappy internet warranty company. Purportedly they're pretty reputable and Mercedes recommended them). But yea, 2 years-24k miles-$5200. Gotta decide...

So it appears to me that those common problems you mentioned would be covered unless I'm misinterpreting something.

I'm buying a CL55 (2002) today with 68k and while everything appears to work right now there are so many systems that I want to look at a warranty.

THis is the best!!!
I have a service contract(second owner) I bought from Michael Chase with Ziegler Group. This was half the price of what you guys are quoting and has already paid for itself twice over.(hard top and locking pump).
I have an 04 sl55 and alot of others here have the same warranty. It covers alot and even a rental.

Just did my quote and it was $2330 for 3 years unlimited miles (Maximum Care) at this point (68K miles) for the bumper to bumper warranty which sounds pretty good. It requires me to take it to a Chrysler dealer or Authorized service center??
