I'm picking up my 2011 E550 next week. I am considering the extra 20,000 mile/2 year extended Mercedes-Benz warranty for $3,000. Has anyone analyzed this and have an opinion as to whether it is worth it? I will keep the car until at least 70k miles.

I'm looking at an '09 CPO and they're quoting ~$1,900 for an additional 2 years beyond the CPO warranty up to 100K miles, so at first blush, $3,000 seems a little steep. But I don't know what the value of the factory vs. CPO warranty is. Also, I guess techincally they're only quoting me for an extra 2 years and NO extra miles since the CPO warranty is already up to 100K.

Then again, I just paid close to $4K for an extra 2 years and 25K miles on a 3rd party Western General warranty on an '07 GL 450, so by that comparison, the $3K seems reasonable.

If you KNOW you're going to keep the car until at least 70K miles, I guess I'd lean towards buying the extra warranty.

I just got my 2011 E350 Matic today and I negotiated $2,900 for an additional 3 years (7 years total, 25,000 milles (75,000 miles total).
Im with you. I dont know if it's a good deal? I plan on keeping the vehicle for 7-8 years. Thoughts?

Hello-If it helps any, I can tell you that a price of $2,900 for an additional 3 years (7 years total, 25,000 extra milles (75,000 miles total) is a very good buy.

There is now a 15 % up charge (non negotiable) if you buy the MB ELW extended warranty after 30 days of buying the car, so keep this in mind.

Dealer cost (excluding the 15 % surcharge after 30 days) on a 2010 E550 (not sure if it went up for a 2011 ?) was in the 2600/2700 $ range, so at $2900 it is a very fair buy from an authorized MB dealer for this (above) extended MB factory warranty .

Hope this info is helpful.

MB offers a zero and a $100 deductable warranty. The price difference is a couple of hundred dollars difference from what I remember .

$3000 for 2 yrs sounds steep plus you're getting a new car. Looks like they want every dime out of you. For reference we got our cpo ML not long ago. Paid $3400 for additional 2 yrs upto 100K miles. So with ramaining warranty, cpo, and extended warranty that's 4 yrs.
