Please reach out to Art Gonzalez at Mercedes, Santa Fe. He gave the best price below Mercedes MSRP.

Tell me about it. Purchased G wagon rubber floor mats today and it was $500 for the front and back seats and another $200 for the back tray area, with a 15% discount.

Best price I've found so far is from Jeff Jackson, finance manager at Mercedes Benz of Louisville. Jeff's email is jjackson@mblouisville.com and direct # is 502-894-6829. For example, on the additional 3 years and up to 100K miles Mercedes Extended Limited Warranty that is priced at $7,990 MSRP, Jeff will take off $750 to make the total $7,240 and no sales tax is charged. If I buy this exact same warranty from my local FL Mercedes dealer the price I was quoted was $8,549.30 ($7,990 plus 7% sales tax of $559.30). So, getting the warranty from Jeff would save me $1,309.30, which equates to savings of 15% off the total cost of buying the exact same warranty from my local FL dealer.

I believe the price is higher, if you don’t purchase it within the 1st 30-days after taking delivery. That’s a good price though as I was quoted $6,700 for the 75,000 extended limited warrantee. So only $390 for an additional 25,000 miles seems reasonable.

Both of the prices I listed are for me purchasing the warranty right now, over 3 years since I took delivery of my 2021 G63. I can purchase either option right now. I am waiting on a quote from one last dealer before I decide and purchase one this week.

Got ya, so I wonder how much less it could be if purchased within the 1st 30-days? Any idea of the additional discount? I think it's 15%?
#60
I don't think you get anymore of a discount it's just that if you finance the car you can finance the warranty into your monthly payment instead of having to come out of pocket $7K in one shot in the future.

Contact the 2 guys mentioned above in this thread, Jeff and Art. They are the two finance managers who give the best discounts on extended warranties. Their contact info is above in this thread. I am in FL too and it's against FL law to discount warranties and there is also sales tax charged on warranties so it makes great sense to purchase from an out of state dealer at a discount with no tax. No brainer.

Update: Just purchased my 3 year/100K mile Mercedes extended limited warranty on my 2021 G63 today from Art Gonzalez at Mercedes of Santa Fe for $7,090 with no sales tax or other fees charged. Art can be reached at Leonel.gonzalez@garciacars.com or direct via phone at 505-913-2924. I highly recommend him. Just received all my official warranty paperwork. He beat any other dealer's quoted price by at least $150.
Just for comparison at my local dealer in FL they wouldn't discount below the $7,990 MSRP for the warranty and would've charged me sales tax of 7% so the total cost from my local dealer would've been $8,549.30.
Going through Art saved me $1,459.30 on the exact same warranty, which equates to a total savings of 17% vs my local dealer. Very happy.

Hmmmm. Bad new. I've been in contact with Art Gonzalez at Mercedes of Santa Fe about an extended warranty for my 2024 G 63. Last week, he quoted me $9,190 (and no sales tax) for a 7 Year/100,000 Mile Extended Warranty. That was the best price I could find. Today, Art found out that Mercedes is charging a 15% premium for extended warranties unless it's purchased at the same time you purchased the car.
FYI, Art is very upset that Mercedes did this. Especially, since he gave me a price a few days ago, and now there's an additional 15% being added. He's going to try to get Mercedes to honor the price he gave me a few days ago. I hope so because that extra $1,378 takes all the fun out of it
Good news Art at Mercedes of Santa Fe twisted some arms and got the price back to what he quoted. But, it's my understanding going forward Mercedes is now charging a 15% surcharge on extended warranties (unless the warranty is purchased when the vehicle is purchased).
BTW, Art has mentioned several times these extended warranties can only be sold to the original owner (or you have to know the original owner's details...not sure exactly what this means, but I thought I'd mention it).

Have been told by three dealers: you have 30 days from the delivery date to buy the warranty. After 30 days, there's a 15% surcharge.

shopping an extremely low mile '21 g63 from an MB dealer that still has 21 months on original warranty--they quoted me $7969 for 4yrs/125K miles though I have yet to get confirmation that it is an actual MB warranty product--the 125k mile portion leads me to think it is aftermarket
#69
super newbie here...wondering if any of these warranties (4 yr/48k MB factory warranty) cover the daunting oil separator/seal leak problem on the G63 engine that apparently costs a small fortune in labor to fix due to engine removal? Thanks in advance.
