Thanks to our state's DMV that sells car registration info to aftermarket warranty companies, I receive solicitations for extended warranties every month. I'm advised that either (a) my factory warranty is soon expiring, or (b) the warranty price is about to increase and I need to act NOW. I've never purchased any extended warranty on a motor vehicle (or on any other item I've ever purchased), so I can't opine about their value or service level. Properly maintained motor vehicles can easily last 100K miles without a major repair, and I always sell mine when they hit 90K.

Question about Extended Warranty
It has been a while since I have been in the site. I had a 2010 G55 and sold it before retiring from the military. At the time I attempted to get an extended warranty through Fidelity and they told me AMG's, like BMW M cars did not qualify for extended warranties. I never pursued it...but after market warranties are becoming more prevalent and I just bought a 2017 G63. Warranty just expired with 37K on the odometer. Any recommendations on after market? Research shows Endurance is one of the best on the market, but is the service over say, CarShield, worth the additional cost. Thanks in advance!

Just a head's up, Endurance is not a Better Business Bureau accredited, and neither is Car Shield. Freedom Warranty has been BBB accredited since 2016 with an A+ rating.

Warranty
I have not been able to find a extended warranty for my 2015 G63. I even called the insurance company that extended the warranty on my SL550, and they said no. Its hard to find. Let me know if you find one please.
