It might help if you would define the term "ELW."

Did you call them and get a quote?

My warranty expires in December and I have to decide to get or not get an extended warranty so your input will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

What his quote and why did you take out an extended warranty before your factory warranty expired?

I had always thought it was best to wait until the factory warranty was about to end before taking an extended warranty.

Reason to buy now is that I'm buying out my lease and one can not buy a MB ELW if not the original owner so buying now allows purchase of the MB factory ELW

Best you call both Jeff and Rafael 1'st hand for quotes

PS: I did same thing on my 2018 SL550 just before I bought out the lease on that one in 2020.....worked out great

Point of interest:

I too bought out my lease back in December, 2019 450 4matic, and when the factory warranty expires in December 2022, that is when I plan to buy the extended lease.

I anticipate no problems and saw no reason to buy an extended warranty before the expiration of my lease.

Like you, I am not the first owner: the first owner is MBFS: but that makes no difference.

Last week I received a letter from my dealer, Mercedes Benz of South Bay in Torrance, CA), offering to sell me a "vehicle protection plan" for my 2018 E400 Coupe (which just yesterday turned over 13,000 miles — I haven't been driving much since Covid hit in March 2020).

I called and spoke with the agency's "Vehicle Protection Specialist." His initial quote for a policy providing full coverage for five years or 48,000 miles with a $100 deductible per incident, including a free loaner and towing, was $6,853.00 (that's $1,370.60 per year or $114.22/month). As I hemmed and hawed, he offered to cut it to $5,853.00 for five years due to the low mileage on the clock ($1,170.60 per year). I passed.

How much was the quote for future reference to other people? Also the other reason you'd buy it now is that the price of the contracts tend to go as time passes.

Those aftermarket warranties usually have very good profit margins for the dealer so they like selling those instead of the MB warranties. That's usually why the MB warranties are a better deal, dealers on here giving good discounts and you know MB is likely to give you less trouble than some aftermarket outfits that can play games with you. MB sells the warranties as part of the business of selling cars. The aftermarket warranties are basically in it for a good profit.
