Re Global warranty
Hey italyatalanta,
I have never heard of that warranty before. I would be super super careful about buying anything other than a Mercedes-Benz warranty. I would do several things before you purchase:
1) Go to 1 or 2 Mercedes-Benz dealers in your area and speak with a service adviser NOT a finance manager. Ask them about claims with that company and ask them if there is a difference in what they cover labor wise. When I sell warranties that is one of the big differences that people don't take into consideration
2) Shop. I would recommend looking into INDS (Bank of America's Service Plan) for vehicles that are currently out of their factory warranty. Mercury & Master Tech are also good but I'm not sure if they cover Canada.
3) If you want, you can send me via pm the last 7 of your vin and I can give you more of an idea on what you qualify for. Or you can call me, 512-454-6821 ask for Jake.
You are in a tricky situation, last time I looked at the coverage literature Mercedes-Benz Extended Limited Warranty does not cover Canada, but if you are near the border & a dealership in the USA that might also be something to consider. DO NOT make any decisions without getting a sample contract or detailed coverage literature from the provider. Make sure you read it! If you do get a copy of coverage you can send it to me and I'll take a look too.
I would really like more information, is the seller a dealership? If so, is it a Mercedes-Benz dealership? Is the vehicle Certified Pre-Owned? Is there still some factory coverage remaining on the vehicle? Can the dealer certify the vehicle for you? (Only if an official Mercedes-Benz dealer)
hope this help!
