Does this sound correct2016 E-350 with 29,000 miles on the clock.
Local dealer offered 3 year ELW 75K for $ 3150 . Dealer in Milwaukee ( recommended in this forum ) gave me a price of $ 1950. Both warranties are MB.
Local dealer is $1200 higher ~60%
Should I go back to local dealer and see if they will match the offer. Representative I spoke to was inflexible when I asked if there was any room in their pricing.
BTW I always loved cars and do not trust or like dealers!

That's the one thing dealers don't to want to dicker on and that's the warranties.....and they won't price match either....puzzling because that's money out of their pockets.

I'm trying to figure out the warranty math. I purchased a 2016 (manufacture date 11/15, Delivery date was Jan 2016) through CPO. My service last fall had the warranty expiration as Jan 2020. I thought I was good until 2021. What am I missing? The car has 12k miles.
thought I saw the warranty info on the Mercedes Me site but I'm not finding it.

You can check with the vendors mentioned in the extended warranty subforum. As others mentioned they're cheaper than the dealer. Not sure when the deadline to buy it is, but I think it's usually before the warranty expires.
