Is there a good Ext Warranty for AMG cars?
I am still hunting for a 2005 CLK55 cab or coupe and wondering if it's easy to get an extended warranty on these cars and what it would cost.
And any firsthand experience on the handling of the cab vs. the coupe,`specifically the chassis flex?
I briefly had a CLK 430 cab when they were new and I felt the chassis wasn't as stiff as I would have liked.

Expect to spend around 1.5-2.5K for a warranty that lasts up to 100,000 miles.
I have had good experience with carsolutions.com [mercury insurance]. Coverage just expired on my C32 but paid for itself over the course of 2 shop visits.

I have the platinum level plan with Mercury select. It covers damn near everything unless it is specifically listed as not covered, all of my motor, electrical, navigational, etc all the way down to my cigarette lighter. My coverage is transferable too, if I sell the car before the terms expire. I have $0 deductible 
and I am covered for 60 months or 100k miles. Cost me $3890 to purchase,and it has been money extremely well spent. I just take my car into the dealer, they look if over, call Mercury, I pick it up and drive off 95% of the time with no additional out of pocket expense. Hope this helps.

I also have a Platinum plan with Mercury. I paid $2400 for a 5 year/60,000 mile plan and am in 3 years on it now. I already used it once for some major work and am about to use it again in the next day or two.
I have my 2002 Beast in the dealer's shop right now and I got a call back saying that during a standard lube, oil & filter change they found this thing and that thing wrong. I asked what the ramifications were and they said "It's all covered under your Extended Warranty". Phew!

Edit: By the time my Beast gets out of the shop (tomorrow), the combined charges for the first time I utilized it with this week's charges will have already exceeded the $2400 I paid for it - and I still have 2 years left to go on it.

Mercury sounds good. They are NYSE listed public co. and they are profitable. will Mercury underwrite my policy if the car is just out of factory warranty period? Thanks.
p.s. I did talk to Todd at Chrylser today and their product didn't sound bad and many mbworld members have done fien with their warranty. they allow you to start up coverage for $200 and finance it interest free for a year (while you can carefully watch their financial situation)

I got mine just before the factory warranty ran out, so I don't know.
My Mercury extended warranty just came up spades today, but I'll post a separate thread about that. Let's just say that if you let a dealer work on your car, you need that extended warranty!
