EXTENDED WARRANTIES

It’s that wonderful time again to discuss the wonder of warranties!

It’s hard to believe that my four years are up in November. I reached out for some Fidelity numbers and here they are for reference. I’m leaning towards 7/70 year gold. These are from Troy Dietrich, a Toyota dealer in Mass.

How did you end up connecting with that dealer? My warranty ends in January so I started doing some research and unfortunately many providers will not issue coverage in CA and a few that do will not cover AMG. However I have not tried Fidelity yet.

Ha. Long story. From REnnlist.

Fidelity is one of best all around warranty companies. I’ve also heard that GEICO offers car warranties in certain states. I’ve always had good experiences with Geico in my practice.

For those interested, I believe that you need to have current warranty coverage to get Fidelity coverage. I had a month left when I got mine.

For anyone shopping around, shoot an email to Michael at Mossy Motors, and tell him you were sent from MBWorld. Should now get you the same discount as the Rennlist guys.

Thanks for sharing as mine is getting out of warranty at the end of the year. I assume the mileage is on top of the current mileage you start with. Seems like gold is the way to go . Why are you considering 7 years? Are you planning to keep it that long lol?

Yeah, the mileage is on top of. Also, for those wondering about pricing, the prices are going to differ greatly between individuals with different mileage amounts on their cars, as the mileage at time of purchase is the greatest determining factor for the cost of each plan.

I believe I paid just under $3k for 3yr/36k platinum with $100 deductible.

These prices are for cars with miles 10,001-25k. Really cheap for an AMG. I’m going with first quotes obviously.

Emeric, The 7 year seems like best value as I can transfer it to another buyer if decide to sell.

Can you purchase these warranties once a car goes out of warranty?

For the Fidelity warranty specifically, I believe you need to have some amount of time left on the factory warranty, even if just a month or so.

Hmm, that’s not the quote I got. To extend the warranty for 3 more years, bumper to bumper, it’s $7000 CAD plus tax. This must be purchased while the car is in the 4 year comprehensive warranty period. Shop around, you can negotiate. Although this price is before negotiation.

How do these extended warranty companies deal with modifications?

Meaning if my transmission goes out because of 700-800hp...do they even care? or is it like a dealer where common sense dictates they obviously wont cover it?

The Fidelity warranty likely wouldn't cover it, if they can tell via a visual inspection that you have power mods.

You keep mentioning visual? Pure Turbos yeah, but they wouldn’t have the diagnostic advantages Benz would have.

This is what I’m thinking. My mechanic had a guy with a blown engine that was tuned and got it covered. Not saying this will work every time but if you have a hand held and can flash back to stock It seems like these companies would have a harder time finding the tune in the ecu than MB would.

As far as turbos go do they look different? I thought you do a core exchange and they change internal components? I guess they could still figure it out if they dig in.
