Just curious, I have a 1999 CLK430 with 35,500 mi. If I decided to get an extended warranty will I get the same price range or more? My current warranty end this December or 50,000 mi. Anyone?

i'd say that is a fair price. maybe even just a little high for a 3rd party company.
for the same price, you should have opted to get the factory extended warranty when it was still available to you as an option. its also about $2,800 for an extended 7 year or 100,000 miles, but much more hassle-free
so, for those who didn't buy the extended warranty when you picked up the car, if you plan to keep the car, buy the extended warranty before the 1 year anniversary for your car is up.
just my .02¢

That's around the same price they quoted me from an MB dealer. It's a third party providing the extended warranty, but since this particular MB dealer has a special contract or negotiation with them, then using the warranty is less of a hassle (according to the salesman).
There are third party, or external, companies that will provide the warranty except some regulation is barring them from providing the service in California. It seems like the dealerships got together and arranged it so that only the dealerships can sell the warranty. I was told this by warrantygold.com, I believe, and they had a much better price compared to the dealer except it wasn't available in California.

I am in Irvine, the dealer that quoted me the price was MB of Laguna Niguel, to get it at that price, the car needs to be under 24,000 miles I believe ......
she did mention that many W208 owners are doing the same thing :p

A factory extended warranty can be purchased from anywhere between approx $1,600 to $2,800 depending on what the term is on the warranty.
To extend:
5 year, 100,000 miles = $1,600
6 year, 100,000 miles = $2,200
7 year, 100,000 miles = $2,800
These are the 3 options available, the prices are what I vaguely remember, but not too far off.

even thou all the extended warranties offer 0 deductible, make sure u ask what's covered and what's not before purchasing one,
extended warranty works a little different than factory warranties, for instance, it does not cover consumable items, for example, if the HID bulbs went out, its not covered .....
I will see if i can pick up a contract and see what it says ....
