05 MB Maintenance Plans?

Soon my 05 E500 will be due for its first scheduled service (no longer free), and I was thinking about the plans that MB offers. There is a 3 year, 39000 mi plan that gives you a Service A at 13,000, a service B at 26,000 and then another A at 39,000, for $904. There is also a 3 year, 39,000 mi plan that offers all of the above plus one set of front brake pads per year, a set of rotors every two years and one set of wiper inserts per year, for which the list price is $2086. Based on my dealer's prices for service, these don't sound so bad, but I thought I'd solict opinions from the board.

(I know I don't have to use the dealer, but they do good work and pick up and deliver, and generally treated me fairly).

Anyone done one of these or have any thoughts. If anyone's bought a plan, are the prices listed in the MB flyer negotiable?

Not certain but this as described sounds like a dealer devised plan and not an MB factory program.

Its a Mercedes plan. I have a printed MB brochure with plans for all 05 models, for 2, 3 or 4 years of maintenance.

Overall it seems to make sense however I would email as many dealers as you can to see if they offer different pricing. This plan more or less falls along the guidelines of the extended warranty whereas it’s issued my MBUSA and sold / honored at all dealerships. Quite possibly you may find, as with the extended warranty (i.e.: Lisa Lehrbaum – Courtesy Motors and others), that dealers may be willing to discount. If discounts are found please post your findings for the benefit of others here.
