EXTENDED WARRANTY
Lisa quoted me today for a 4 year 100k warranty for $4,590.00. I spoke to 4 dealers today in Southern California who swore up and down that no MB dealer would sell me a MB warranty. This all due to the fact that I am the second owner on the car. I am going to opt for a 7 year 100k warranty. Let see what happens. What do you think is a good deal for a 7 year 100k warranty? Btw, I have a CLS500 which is my daily beater. I love the car too much to sell it.

If I remember correctly when we bought our CPO with 9000 miles on it they told us the warranty would transfer, but there may be a fee. Check with the holder of the warranty.

EXTENDED WARRANTY
The present warranty should be able to be transferred without any problems. If you are trying to obtain the an additional warranty for 7 years and 100,000 miles the price will be slightly hire than if you had purchased the extended warranty within the first thirty days from MB. There are third party warranties that cover extended period of time at a lower prices but the coverage will not be as good as the MB factory warranty. She will have to shop around at the different dealers for the best price and period of coverage.

MB ELW
Question, I'm going to purchase a used '07 (not from an MB dealer) with a standard MB factory warranty that will expire in Sep-10.
I called my local MB dealer to get the cost of a MB extended warranty. He quoted me a 3yr/75k and said the 3 years would start from the day I purchased the warranty and not the end of the standard factory warranty in Sep-10. Is this correct...essentially you'd be under both the MB factory warranty and the MB ELW warranty for 1 year and then have only 2 years left on the MB ELW?
If so, is it better to wait to purchase the ELW even though there may be a 15% premium since it'd be >30days after the car purchase?
Thanks.

SBC under warranty!
I've seen several mentions of the SBC failure in this thread about extended warranties. As I understand it, the SBC system is under a 10year/100kmi warranty due to the recall issues. So, the SBC system should not factor in to anyone's calculations on whether to buy a ELW or not.... or am I missing something here?

e63 extended warranty?
Does anyone know how the pricing works for the warranty? I am looking into purchasing a pre owned 07 e63 amg, would the quotes be higher than an e350 because it is a amg? I have been quoted a 3yr/75,000 for $3995. That is my first quote. Any thoughts?

e63 extended warranty?
You might check with Mercury Insurance they sell extended warranty to get a comparsion. There are few dealers listed in previous posting on extended warranties. Just make sure someone does not stick you with a one year warranty and 100,000 miles or a four year warranty with a limited amount of mileage.

don't forget, everything is negotiable. Do a search here, and find the contact up in Chico I think, they do Benz warranty over the phone and I think are one of the cheapest.

Best thing I did buying our MB was get the warranty. Dealer told me they were so reliable that it didn't need it. I bought it anyway and it has paid out many many times over.

Ok, to help others purchase cheap MB ELW's, there are 2 ways to directly contact "Lisa":
1) DIRECT LINE: (530) 230-3154. The best times to reach "Lisa" are in the evenings, 5pm-8pm PST. She also has Tuesday's off (as well as one weekend each month), so if she's not there, then call back another day. If she's busy, then call back in a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE HER VOICEMAILS!!! She receives too many voicemails, and cannot respond to all of them! The best thing to do is to be patient, and call back in a few minutes... or use Option #2 below....
2) E-MAIL: lisal@donotspam.chicocourtesy.com <== REMOVE "donotspam." FROM THE ADDRESS! If you cannot get a hold of her using the telephone, or don't have the time or patience to call, then you can also reach her using e-mail. If you are e-mailing her, please include the following information about your Mercedes-Benz vehicle:
MB ELW YOU'RE INTERESTED IN (ie: 7yr/75K, 7yr/100K, etc)
CAR YEAR
CAR MAKE/MODEL
VIN#
# OF MILES
YOUR FULL NAME
ADDRESS
TELEPHONE NUMBER (so she can call you back)
She will respond to her e-mails as soon as she can.
NOTES:
A) All genuine Mercedes-Benz ELW's have NO DEDUCTABLE! If you're being quoted a deductable, then it's NOT a genuine MB ELW!
B) All Mercedes-Benz vehicles are eligible to purchase genuine MB ELW's if they are still under Factory Warranty! (Many dealers will tell differently, but they are lying!)
C) If your Mercedes-Benz is still within 30-days of purchase, you can purchase/add-on a genuine MB ELW with no penalty. If your Mercedes-Benz is NOT within 30-days of purchase (but still under Factory Warranty), you still can purchase a genuine MB ELW for your vehicle, but there will be a surcharge (~15% I think, but I don't know how they calculate it... ask Lisa).
D) If your Mercedes-Benz is NOT under Factory Warranty anymore, but you would still like to purchase an Extended Warranty for your vehicle, then Lisa also offers multiple 3rd-Party Warranties (just like other MB dealers as well). She probably can give you a competitive rate on these as well (doesn't hurt to ask!).
E) You can purchase your Mercedes-Benz Extended Warranty from ANY MB Dealership in the country (NOT only the dealer where you purchased your vehicle from). Many dealers will tell differently, but they are lying!

There's an unwritten law that MB Dealers adhere to: "Don't discount the Extended Warranty price or you'll kill it for all of us."
That being said some Rogue somewhere who's not doing enough business this month will realize he's got 1 shot to get some no effort business for his store from you, and will move off his price. Call around to rural, far away MB dealers in any State who you feel may be slow, ask to talk to the F&I/After sales Office, & begin the call by saying, "I'm calling from LA (or wherever). I want to buy an Extended Warranty from you for my 200X E Class 211. Would you think it over & call me back at <phone number> in a couple of minutes with your best price?
Most of the time the 1st price your car's selling dealer quoted you was twice what the Plan costs him from MB. Only someone far away from you with one shot at you will sell it to you at his lowest price. You have to be ready to say OK if the price is good to go. Realize that you 1)Gave him a time limit, 2) Told him you're ready to buy, and 3) Told him you want to buy it from him... now.

So if I buy the extended from another dealership it is obviously honored at my local dealership in southern ca. Even if its out of state that I purchase it from.
any suggestions where to call first to get that great price.

I worked with Greg Pfunder (sp?) at MB of Anaheim. Class guy, good price no BS. I called around to get a best price nationally and asked him to match it
(I don't get anything from this reco)
