Im not keeping mine. Little gremlins..I was planning on keeping this car for 6 years, or up to 80k miles, but not if I have to keep going ot the dealer to change out this and that sensor.

I was this close to buying the extended warranty before the first year was up...then didnt get around to it. Now i think I just will get rid of it after the standard warranty is up.

Depending on the authenticicity of a company my dad picked, I'll let you guys know about it.
It's about 3000$ for an SL500 for a few years, that seems like a pretty good deal, but we'll see if it's a real company.
