I've been offered a "service contract." The advertising (a pitch in an email) and the agreement don't use the words "insurance" or "warranty" because those words have meanings (and obligations) that the companies that write these contracts don't like. The contract is offered from my local dealer. It's not a Mercedes-Benz extended warranty, and the sales person said if I wanted that policy, I'd have to contact Mercedes-Benz. (In other words, we're not going to sell you that Mercedes-Benz product even though we're a Mercedes-Benz dealer.) The policy is with Century Warranty Services Inc., and the agreement says what is included rather than what is excluded.

I don't think I can properly analyze a contract of inclusion, since I'd have to understand what is excluded for it to make any sense.

Does anyone here have experience with a service contract from Century Warranty Services Inc.? This one covers 60,000 miles for 72 months with a $100 deductible for $4,400. Since I can't evaluate it, unless people here have had good experiences with this contract I am going to pass.

Are any of the policies mentioned above policies that state what they exclude?

I don't think Fidelity was mentioned and @Highline-Autos.com is a reputable seller of their exclusionary policies. Fidelity seem to have positive reviews from Rennlist members.

For those wondering, my Fidelity quote came in about $1,300 cheaper for the same exclusionary coverage length and deductible from Fidelity.

I appreciate the shoutout @wildta

I just sent over an email with Fidelity Platinum coverage lengths, deducible options, pricing, and an example contract that explains coverage.

If anyone else is interested or has any questions about Fidelity extended warranty coverage, you can reach me below.

I have reviewed Highline's Fidelity contract and find it superior. I am going with Highline and Fidelity.

Highline needs to give you a Senior Discount and a MB WORLD discount

Best regards

Save yourself some real money by moving out of Commiefornia.

Other recommendations, many who echo my experience:

Funny story: years ago, I was shopping around for an MB ELW on a C63 AMG that I purchased in FL for use in OH.
Found Marc had most competitive price and purchased directly through him.
Fast forward to 2021, midst of COVID, and purchased the last remaining New MY 2019 GT R still unsold on their lot, from none other than. . . Marc Rose.
could you pm me Marc Rose contact info if you have it? TIA
