Have any more info on National Warranty and their exclusionary plan for vehicles up to 80000 miles?

Bruce, I have a 2005 MB SL500 with 47,000 miles, The extended MB warranty runs out In July 2011 and I'm looking for a new warranty to cover me for another 4 years or so, expecting to put on about 9k mi./yr - so a 4yr/75K/100K mi warranty might be the ideal. My local MB dealer recommends the Fidelity warranty plans. Can you give me a quote, including their best plan? Thanks - Bill (941) 779-2929

Have you tried the chrysler service contract yet. they just covered $2600 worth of work for me. Both times i used it they approved my claim. I believe I paid less than $1800 for an additional 3 yrs and total 70k miles after the factory warranty ended. $100 deductible. I don't drive my Sl many miles. I was told I can extend it as well so i will look into it.

my friends Sl was out of warranty so he had to do an inspection and paid a little more but the just paid a claim near $7 grand so it was worth it

GGA: Last I checked, Chrysler was no longer offering new extended warranty for MB; but thanks for the tip...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I have an offer pending on a 2003 SL500 w/48K miles and 1 owner clean carfax. Question is that there is an existing extended Platinum warranty from Fidelity warranty services until 1/14/14 or 97300 miles. Is this a good company and warranty? I have seen some negative remarks about this company. Does anyone have any experience dealing with claims?

Sgooter

I researched several 3rd party extended warranties last year, and the Platinum warranty from Fidelity looked to be pretty good and was being offered by my local M-B dealer. I chose a different ext warranty, but the Platinum warranty would have been my next choice.
You didn't mention whether the existing Platinum warranty includes a deductible amount, such as $200 or $0, which is a factor to consider, as well as the fee charged to transfer the existing warranty to you - the new owner. Good luck.

DocBH

Thanks for the quick reply, deductible is 100 and I wasn't informed of any charge to transfer it. A dealer is selling the car, will have to check tomorrow on any transfer fee. Is Fidelity the company you went with? If not would you mind sharing the company name?

Sgooter

Since your warranty will be thru the dealer, then I suspect there will be no transfer fee. I bought the Chrysler Max Care ext warranty, and several months ago I read that it's no longer being offered on SL models.

DocBH

Thanks much for the information.

Becks Imports

Be careful, my understanding is that the Fidelity warranty can only be transferred by a private party seller to a private party owner, when the seller pays the fee ($100 I think) and completes the transfer paperwork.

I'd call Fidelity and get clarification. I do not think the warranty can be transferred to a dealer and then from a dealer to you. Now if the dealer gets the former owner to do the paperwork into your name and act as if he's selling directly to you, then Fidelity won't know about it most likely.

You can't take the dealer's word for anything, call Fidelity directly and ask.

Could anyone else get me a quote on a warranty, my car is 2007 sl550 with 17,800 miles and currently has no warranty. Would like something with total coverage and either 2 or 3 years.

Fastnine

Get a hold of Bruce the guy right above your post he can help you.

I got a great after market warranty, which covers everything except routine maintenance, tire, bulbs, etc. The company name is Preferred Warrantys. (Warrantys.com)
Purchased from my MB Dealer for my R129, and it paid for itself so I bought one for my new SL550.

It covers everything at a "$0" deductible.

acirksena

Thanks but already purchased my car and that company only sells their warranties through dealerships before the car is purchased.

josephanthony

Glad you got one. I bought mine from my local dealer in PA, after I bought my car from dealer in IL.
