Extended warranty

Hello
I just purchased the 2017 G550. The dealership recommended the extended warranty and prepaid maintenance. I am not going to drive more than 5000 miles per year. In addition, I was told that the G wagon is pretty reliable. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'd go for the extended warranty and pass on the prepaid maintenance. These trucks are pretty reliable but when something goes wrong it can be pretty expensive. I'm not a fan of prepaying anything. So I'd recommend passing on that offer.
Good luck with your new ride. Happy motoring.

Purchase the extended warranty when the current warranty on the vehicle is about to expire. You can purchase the extended warranty within 4 years or 50,000 miles. This was provided by my local dealership upon purchasing my 2015 G550. Please confirm this information with your dealership as well.

All new Mercedes Benz vehicles come with a warranty of 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Therefore, you should not rush to purchase the extended warranty. You never know, you might want to sell it or trade it in before the current warranty expires.

Also, do not purchase prepaid maintenance.

Enjoy your new ride!
