Question Extended Warranty

The extended warranty on my 2000 CLK 430 will expire in a few months. The 2 year extended warranty was purchased on a Starmarked car when we bought it 3 years ago and the warranty is with MB.

The car has been pretty trouble free over this 3 year period and I might keep it a bit longer (one to two years). I am affraid to own it outside of warranty since it has about 60,000 miles and I am sure that more costly problems could start to materialize soon.

Could any of you tell me if I can buy 12 or 24 more months of warranty from MB or a reputable warranty provider? What can you expect to pay for this coverage and have any of you been scammed by other warranty providers?

Thanks in advance for your input. It is always great to get your valuable input before talking to a stealership.

Here ya go. I was sent this yesterday in email. Take a look.

Also, I have a 2000 CLK 430 and I have NO warranty. I've had a couple of small issues (CPS and tires). Convertible top was a not-so-small issue. The tires didn't have anything to do with the car and they were cheap anyway (they came mounted when I bought it in April) so I replaced em with Pirelli's. Best thing I can say is find a mechanic you can trust! But to be honest, I'll be looking at that link myself in a month or two ($$$'s).

Yeah. From what I understand, you have to really compare warranty companies to make sure you're getting what you think you're getting. Let me know what that quote comes back at.
