just bought an 07 e350 with 35k miles.

from lurking on this forum it looks like my car's going to need work soon.

what companies do you all use? how has your experience been?

I bought my "mechanical breakdown protection" from my credit union. They offered one from Mercury Insurance Group. I bought their Platinum plan and recently used it to have a crank position sensor replaced and some suspension bushing.

The only gripe is that they only covered 1.9 hours for the crank sensor, but MB of Austin wanted 2 hours. I had to pay the difference--$12. Dealer said that Mercury was one of the better ones to deal with. Of course, YMMV.

Hello bokhan,

As a point of reference, start with an MB dealer. If your car is still covered by the new car warranty (48 months or 50K miles), you can buy additional MB coverage. No deductible. They may also sell an aftermarket (non-MB) plan which is cheaper, has a deductible, more limited coverage, etc.

Let us know what you end up with.

I vaguely remember someone said Geico offered some kind of warranty for a pretty good price annually. But I can't remember who said that, and what the cost was. Just remember it sounded pretty appealing when I read it. You may want to check it out.

I have had very good luck with the Chrysler Factory Warranty that can be purchased for a very good price IMHO. You can find the info about how to sign up and experiences by simply doing a search in the forum. Lot's of feedback is why I purchased one last November and have already had more work done (at the MB dealer) than the cost of the warranty with no issues.....I highly recommend this warranty.

To the OP: go to the search function and type in "extended warranty." You'll get so many threads, it'll make your head spin.

Here's one that runs from October 2008 to March 2010 !! https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...mendation.html


You'll get gazillion hits with a search. It's probably one of the most talked about issues on MBWorld.

chrysler warranty is only good as long as they stay in biz. If Fiat's opinion on the status of Chrysler when they invested in it is any indication, i don't know if that will be much longer.

As a shop owner we sell a warranty here in NY, just outside of NYC. The warranty that we sell is a little pricier than most of the other warranty's out there but, it is by far, the best warranty we have ever dealt with from a shop standpoint.

I cannot tell you how many times I have dealer with customers aftermarket warrantys and the warranty company never wants to pay. The pay you nowhere close to your labor rate, they want you to buy used parts or non OEM parts, they limit the amount that can be claimed at any one time, they charge you multiple deductibles, etc. I have seen it all. Then, one day, a customer came in with a warranty that was nothing like that, it was wonderful to deal with. I started recommending that my customers get it and it was always a joy to work with. Now, I sell it with confidence because I know how good it is.

If you are looking for a warranty than give me a call and let me get you a quote. If you want to make sure that your shop will accept it you can have them give me a call and I will go over it with them too.
