HELP! Warranty help needed!!!
Hello all! (I wasn't sure where to post this post, perhaps there's a better thread for it. I'm a newbie)
I am the proud owner of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 4matic. I absolutely love my car, But I put too many miles on it. I have only had it two years and it has 90,000 miles on it already. I "thought" My warranty was 100,000 miles bumper to bumper, but I just found out it expired November 2013. Things are beginning to go wrong with it for example, I'm having a problem with a wheel bearing. Now that I'm out of warranty and I'm driving a Mercedes it's going to get super expensive. My husband wants me to dump my car but I love it and I want to keep it. (Besides, I still owe two years on it) Anyway does anyone have any advice for me as to where I can go to buy another warranty? Am I correct in thinking that now that I've hit 90,000 miles that things will start to go wrong? Any help and advice is greatly appreciate it.

I'm not sure what kind of warranty you originally had on the car. If it's a 2009 and you bought it two years ago I would assume the warranty either expired a long long time ago when the mileage hit 50k or if it's a CPO then the warranty should be 6 total yeas from original sale and 100k miles, whichever comes first. Given that it's 2009 there is no way for this CPO warranty to expire in November 2013.
So you either have some time left on the CPO warranty at this point or you've been out of warranty for a really really long time.
There is no warranty from Mercedes that you could apply to this vehicle unless it's a CPO and it's still under the CPO terms in which case you can add up to 125k miles I think.
Otherwise your only option would be third party but I'm not familiar with them and I doubt there are any good ones that are willing to "insure" a Mercedes with 90k miles on the odometer already.

I purchased it in may of 2012. I believe there were 30,000 miles on it at the time. It is a certified preowned and when I called the toll-free number today to get the information the woman told me that it expired November 20, 2013

If you want to purchase an aftermarket warranty it will get more expensive and cover a whole lot less after you hit 100K.
The board has a lot of good and a lot of bad stories on warranties.
If you drive that much it may not be worth it, because a 4 year 48K mile warranty will only last you 18 months.
Find a really good Indy shop, set aside the $3k to $4k the warranty costs and when it is used up sell the car. (Or start another savings account.)

But you did not state where and from whom you bought it.
