Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance For 5 Years Or 50,000 Miles

I ordered a 2012 GL350 in May 2011 and I am expecting delivery in early October. I am undecided if paying $1900.00 for Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance For 5 Years Or 50,000 Miles is an equitable option? Please advise if paying for these services up front is a better deal than paying out of pocket. Additionally, what is the best extended warranty service for a new vehicle and what suggested warranty options are available?

I think it cost more than $1,900 for GL350. $1,900 sounds like a price for GL450.
If you really can buy it for $1,900 - I think it's worth.

Have the dealer tell you what each interval costs and determine if it is actually less than paying as you go...why give them all the money up front if there is no or minimal savings?
