cl55 repair bill
Yeah, I do have an extended warranty on it and they approved the bill, cause Benz dealer told them that they only guarantee MB genuine parts and that's why they cost a lot of money, so Benz make ridiculous amount of money on parts, it's a rip off. But I heard that there are after market parts that are very compatible with Benz genuine parts and cost about 20% of the dealer's price.
Thanks for the comments guys....

cl55 repair bill
It has only 50,000 miles on it and the dealer said that the shocks are leaking and need to be changed along with ABC pump.
Any body knows how to install a phone in it?

i would go an independent
after the warranty co. gets stung by this $12k repair... the 55's will be off limits to future buyers for warranties.....as the 65's are becoming
in other words the dealer will make about $8k on this deal...those parts mentioned are 25% of the cost the said

Very cool, excellent warranty company. Was this an aftermarket warranty? If so, which one?
I had an electrical fire that took out the main wiring harness in the engine compartment (10 years ago on my S600 coupe) - warranty company paid about the same.

2003cl55 warranty
I'am paying about $2400 for 3yr. contract with unlimited mileage for 2003 cl 55 with 52,000 miles.
I think this is the best extended factory warranty for the cl55 that you will ever find out there.

Keep in mind that overall the extended warranty companies are probably making money off of us---either that or they have screwed up their pricing structure. I don't have a warranty and am just chancing it. 82k on my '04.

Nice TigerWild, I just bought mine and it was $2476 for 3yr 36.000 miles, which was plenty as this is a second car. i'm worried about what I will do when it comes time for that 3/36k to expire. maybe I will trade in on a 2007/08 around then. The car is just too exspensive to repair to not have a warranty on it! may go for the CL63's then, but i still like the design of this one better than the current ones.
