I got a reply from Jeff but would like to get at least one more to compare. I also contacted Cassandra and Lisa but no return. Any other suggestions?

The App will only show the standard warranty for some reason. But when you purchased the extended plan, doesn't it show the end date? That's really all you need, just make sure you keep it stored safely.

Just FYI, Jeff and Cassandra both responded very quickly (same day, within hours) of my request. Simply looked them up at their dealerships and emailed them directly with all the specifics. There was a bit of confusion as to level given that I just got an e53 and one of the quotes was initially for an e63, but that was quickly clarified (and lowered) when I sent the VIN.
One important issue to bear in mind ... some state charge sales tax on both extended warranties and prepaid maintenance, so be sure to ask about that when you call/email!

Completed my purchase of a 2 year CPO extension for my 2015 SL from Jeff in Louisville, KY. Seamless transaction over the phone using credit card. No fees, to taxes (MD). Highly recommend Jeff if you are looking to buy an extended warranty.

Sorry if this is a naive question... I was wondering what the motivation is for getting an extended warranty, besides the protection and peace of mind of course. If you are looking at an EW for a couple of years, is your plan to get rid of the car after the EW runs out, get another EW later if available or I guess the EW could be an attractive selling point ?

I recently purchased a 2016 E350w CPO w/32k miles and the dealer tried to sell me a "warranty" without much details for $3600, which I turned down as I knew from past research that the warranty can be had for cheaper.
I've been reading through various threads including this one, but was slightly confused as I've read folks who discussed extending the CPO 2 years, but also folks who purchased ELW.
Are we talking about the same thing, or two different warranty types?
Thanks for the help..

No no we are talking about the same warranty for the most part, ELW is short for extended limited warranty. But generally speaking my family paid about the same thing for our ELW for a 2015 CLS550 coming out of its 4 year factory warranty but for 3 years extension. I suggest you shop around a little as they are marked up, we used the F&I guy out of Louisville Kentucky mentioned in the thread Jackson is his last name.

They are not quite the same. The MB ELW can be purchased only by the original owner and must be done prior to the expiration of the new car warranty. The effect is then up to 7 ttl years of coverage to a max of 100k miles. The CPO adds one extra year to the original 4 years with unlimited mileage. Up to 2 extra years can be purchased prior to the expiration of the 5 years with unlimited mileage, giving the effect of up to 7 years, but remembering that the CPO buyer didn't own the car for all 7 years. In 3 years of membership here, I have never heard of a warranty claim for an item being denied under one of the coverages but approved under the other.

I wasn’t the original owner I was allowed to purchase a ELW for a 2015 CLS 550 as a second hand owner. Any Mercedes that is still under its new car original 4 year warranty qualifies for a ELW as long as it meets certain qualifications. But you don’t have to be the original owner of the car.

I would suggest sending the VIN to one of the vendors mentioned earlier and ask them if it qualifies and what the price would be. Yes they also sell AMG warranties but they cost more than the ones for regular cars. But the vendors will also discount them. Seems like most dealers either don't discount them much or even mark them up extra to recapture some extra profits so you're better of typically buying it from a vendor mentioned here.
