In prior post I was asked if I got my MB extended warranty, for $18,00, from Lisa at Courtesy Motors. The answer is "no". I got it from my local dealer. But I did quote Lisa's price to him, and if he did not come close, I would have called Lisa.

I was talking with Fletcher Jones. I haven't inquired with MB Laguna Niguel. Again, for clarifications, the extended warranty I'm referring to is a third party company that FJ has a contract/deal with and can be purchased through FJ. It is not the extended factory warranty that has to be purchased when the car is less than a year old. The salesman told me this is best, as there would be less hassle, when making claims with the third party company as they have a contract/deal with them.

If we can organize a group buy, that would be great. I'm not too sure with dealerships entertaining group buys though, especially FJ.

If COMAND, CD changer, AUDIO is included in the extended warranty, make sure, that you get this in WRITING.

Additionally, get ALL EXCLUSIONS - in WRITING!!

Whatever FJ offers, might not be recognized by another MB dealer, because it is NOT on the MB database, -- which is accessed by 300 MB service departments nationwide.

Don't be pennywise and dollar-foolish!!

Updated Info on Extended Warranty !!

here are quotes from MB of Laguna Niguel on extended warranty, got a blank contract with me, if anybody is interested, leave me your fax # I will fax it to u

Spoked with Lynn at the dealer, she is willing to knock off $300 for each contract if we have a group of 3,

the following is for 6 years or 100,000 miles, the contract starts on the day of application not end of our factory warranty

for 99 and on CLK430, price before the $300 discount, if your car has,

40k ----- ? miles $3100
30k -----40K miles $3000
24k -----30k miles $2982
< 24k miles $2800

if you go with 6 yrs/75,000 miles contract, take $400 off from the above price,

I will also check with her on prices for 5 yrs/100k miles and 5 yrs/75k miles

some additional info she mentioned,
- Command / Radio is covered
- Loan car while car in the shop, up to 6 days, up to $25 a day
- 0 deductible
- if we have the car fixed at Laguna, they will take care of billing the insurance company, we do not need to do anything (she also mentioned would be the same at house of imports & caliber for some reason)

the above prices are good til 12/31/2002, after that, she doesn't know if the prices will go up or down, doesn't seem too bad after the $300 discount, anybody interested ?

What are the EXCLUSIONS?

Do you have in writing that COMAND, AUDIO incl. CD changer is covered?

If one gets the MB premium extended, you are on the MB database and have no hassle with 300 MB dealers nationwide.

Lisa Lehrbaum - Finance Manager - at MB Courtesy Motors, Chico, CA is saving me almost 1 k.

If you are within the first year of new MB ownership and are considering an extendended warranty, the answer is obvious...

2018 E400 COUPE SOLD -> Porsche Taycan 4S
after my extensive recent visit to the dealer, i also had questions about my extended warranty. i found out that after the base warranty expires, under the extended warranty... everything is NOT covered bumper to bumper. only mechanical issues are covered by the extended warranty. if the molding on the door came off, tuff, you are screwed and have to replace it yourself...

I was told, that if you miss getting the MB Premium Extended Warranty - which is available during the first year only, - the next best warranty - which costs more than the MB, - is the Daimler Chrystler extended warranty.

Lisa Lehrbaum, MB Courtesy Motors - Chico CA - can save you money on that policy as well.
