How are you guys reaching him? I've emailed him, I've called and left him voice mail, he doesn't return email or voice mail.

This is a hard guy to reach, over 20 phone calls and he has never been available. always get his voicemail and he doesn't seem to return voicemails.

Will give it one more week before giving up.

Finally heard back from Dan today, sounds like a really classy guy. His pricing can't be beat.

Had him quote me extended warranty for two vehicles, his price was 30% and 50% lower than the original selling dealer.

Going to be cancelling existing warranty and re-ordering from him.

whats this dealer surcharge?

I can vouch for Dan Boone. Just got off the phone with him and purchased 2 extended warranties. (2011 C300 and 2013 E350 wagon).

His pricing was about 50% below what local dealers are asking. He says we're pretty much zero cost customers so they will sell it at the lowest price to get our business. They don't need to earn a lot on these transactions because of the zero cost.

So for anyone thinking about getting a MB MFG extended warranty, contact Dan Boone. He can be hard to reach, so just call and leave voice mail. Give him time to get back to you.

There's a lot of variables so giving you what we paid doesn't really help too much.
Things such as year, model, # of miles on it now, how much (time/miles) coverage you want to extend will all make a difference on price.

From my (somewhat limited experience) Dan is around 45% lower than the MSRP of the warranty.

Best thing is to just give him a call and get a quote.

Dan just set me up with a 2 year original Mercedes extended warranty at 25% off my local dealer's list. I guess my dealer doesn't gouge as much as some. Very easy transaction over the phone. All you need is mileage and VIN. The initial quote was by email though, as most people don't pick up their phones. I tried 3 other dealers that were referred on this forum. Nobody else even responded.
I'm very happy with Dan Boone's service.

I phoned Dan today, had no trouble reaching him, and bought a Mercedes 7yr/75,000 mile Extended Limited Warranty from him. His price was far beneath my local dealers, who would not negotiate one penny, and he could not have been more gracious, helpful, and courteous. Sincere thanks to those of you who mentioned him on the Forum.

Talked to Dan today, terrific buying experience.
He spent a lot of time with me, going over my options, advised me to wait on pre paid maintenance 'til after my next service for best value.

Bought 7/75 for $2189, local dealer quote: $3794.

'11 GL350 20000 miles.

Glad I found this thread!

You guys know if the extended warranty varies from model to model? Anyone purchased from him on a '13 GL?

yes different year, different model and different mileage will have different costs.

Your best bet is to call Dan, give him your VIN and current mileage and he can give you the different options and the best pricing ever.

Talked to Dan about options for a GL550.
He took the time to run over everything under the sun.
Dan advised me on both warranty options for CPO and maint plans, weighing all scenarios to completion.
Personable and straight forward , great buying experience from start to finish.
