Extended Warranty non-CPO 2013 ML63?
We've got a 2013 ML63(25k miles) that is not eligible for Mercedes ELW (it was a CPO car that was sold to a 3rd party dealer where we purchased it). The original vehicle warranty lapses in April, and I'm having a hard time finding someone to quote me the cost on a 3rd party warranty. I've searched through the extended warranty threads and reached out to some of the contacts listed for a quote, but never received a response. Any suggestions or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Did you talk to your local MB dealer?

Thanks for the details on Troy. I'm a little surprised the MB dealer didn't want sell you a MB extension while you were still under warranty. Fidelity is probably less expensive anyway.

Costs
Hello, I'm close to buying a 2010 ML63. Can I ask how much your fidelity warranty cost?
|
Sure, I paid $3695 for an additional 3yrs/36k miles.

Was told Fidelity doesn't quote out of warranty Mercedes to California? Is this still true anyone? Thanks.

^ thanks for the data point.
That literally only leaves "safe guard" for non-warrantied AMGs.. Which is really bad news. |
Yeah, I am about to buy an '09 ML63 next week. It has 42k miles and is being sold by the Mercedes Benz Dealer of South Orlando, but is out of any warranty and is sold 'as-is'. I've had it inspected by an independent mechanic who said it was very clean. They've heard of a few cars coming from this dealer with problems, so I was a bit worried. I plan on bringing it to another independent shop before finally paying for it though. It seems there is not a warranty out there available for me. Is this true?

You're brave as heck with the used ml63 and no extended warranty. Like I mentioned, another dealer quoted me via safeguard, which seems to only sell policies via dealers

BTW - I called Carchex and got a cost for a 4 year warranty. They want 24 payments over 2 years. It comes to $7,477, or $311/month. After googling them and reading horror stories - do you really think this is worth it?? I mean, I expect up to $2000/year in repairs/maintenance. I just don;t want to be left holding the bag on a vehicle that needs a 10k job. Talking to my long time indy, there doesn't seem to be such a concern on this well maintained low-mileage vehicle.

I was last quoted a 3y/36K safe guard platinum/exclusionary (i believe underwritten by same co behind Carchex) at $6500, so another a year for $7500 -- assuming also exclusionary -- seems tolerable, especially because they're offering it at a 0% 24MO payment plan. |
I recently purchased a 5yr/60k mi bumper to bumper extended warranty for my 06 CLS 55 from:
