Buying Extended Warranty from a Dealer

The 4-year warranty on my 2020 GT roadster is expiring soon. I have almost 4,000 miles on the odometer. The car is a keeper so I want to get a factory extended warranty. My recollection is that you buy it from any dealer, and dealers can mark up the warranty as the market will bear.

Does anyone here (or any dealer here) have a recommendation whom to use to get the best deal?

Thanks @GTConn, but I want to buy the extended warranty initially from Mercedes-Benz. And under California law, I believe the seller of a third-party extended warranty to a California resident has to make the sale through a California dealer.

Ah OK..I saw you mentioned renewing thru a dealer but thought you might be open to other options as well. 😊

I've noticed several members here recommending him, so I'm confident he's a reliable contact. I understand he represents Fidelity Warranty Services Inc. Has anyone in this forum experienced or know someone who has undergone a major repair with Fidelity, especially for high-cost components like transmissions, engines, or turbos ranging from $10,000 to $70,000? How does Fidelity handle such expensive repairs, and do they ensure timely payments?

Thanks for the shout out @GTConn . @MalibuScott my information is there if you're interested, we are able to sell Fidelity warranty contracts to CA residents, zero issues when our customers go to use their warranty coverage at their OEM dealerships.

@G. P see the following post, #14. https://mbworld.org/forums/coupe-roa...ml#post8680539

Thank you that sounds great. Are there any per claim limits? If the drivetrain implodes will it be replaced with no per claim limits?

Nope, no limit per claim, just the total payout limit.

Excellent. Price wise, is the policy cost competitive with CPO warranty cost?

Much better than CPO. For OP, 5 years / additional 60K miles for $3,292 on a $0 deductible plan.

Many happy people on Rennlist who've had to use Fidelity for some pretty substantial repairs.

Hi Scott, highly recommend Marc Rose, finance manager at SaMo WI Simonson (if still there) for the MB ELW. Will DM you his contact info.
Pricing is somewhat negotiable.

Other recommendations, many who echo my experience:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...elw-deals.html

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.

Disclosure: i do not gain any referral kickbacks from Marc. He's just a good dude who was able to give me the best service and price on my two MB Extended Warranties.
Best of luck

Tons have purchased from Jeff Jackson Louisville MB. Search his name on here or look on the Louisville MB site. When I was searching, he had the best price.

Anyone know if the MB tire/wheel package is available for purchase after pickup? My MB dealer wouldn't sell anything other than 3rd party coverage and refused to offer the MB package.

As far as I know, MB does not offer their own "MB" coverage - it is a 3rd Party coverage such as "ROAD InTire", administered by Innovative Aftermarket Systems L.P.
