I have owned my cl63 for the last 5 years 39k miles. The only major issue was a failed airmatic suspension on one of the front wheels. I purchased a warranty last year just in case.

I purchased the warranty from the dealer it is also transferable if I sell the car. Additional 3 years or (75k miles) and the price was around $3,800.
