2019 G-550 Extended Warranty

What is the general consensus on purchasing the MB Extended 7yr 100 k mile warranty for a G-550. This was my first MB purchase. I’ve driven a Landcruiser for 15 years and 300k mikes trouble free, though I’m not expecting that kind of reliability out of the G-550. (Completely different animals)

I’ve been quoted $6,300 - $7,500 plus tax on the warranty. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you are going to keep the G past the 4yr/50k mile warranty...YES YES YES!! A few repairs will more than pay for the ext. warranty!!! MBZ is a great company, but all their current offerings are a lot of work

You could always purchase warranty close to the time of expiration of factory..isn’t it? I know Porsche does that

I believe MBZ does this as well, but in 4 years the price will be much higher than it is now. If you are not sure you are going to keep the car, then it is best to wait until closer to the expiration of the manuf. warranty. But, if you know you keep cars a long time & will keep the G more than 4 years, then it is financially wise to lock in the rate now, opposed to waiting almost 4 years.

I paid $6,500 (no tax) for my 7yr/100kmi. There is a 15% up-charge if you wait more the 30 days after purchase, but this is illegal in some states, so options still will exist if you choose to wait. I plan on keeping my G for about 7 years and since it’s a first year of new design, I figured a bit of insurance might be a good idea.

I purchased the 7yr / 100k mile warranty for $6300, no tax or other fees from a small dealer in IL. The dealer that sold me the G wouldn’t take less than $7,100. Glad I shopped around!!
