Remind me about credit policy on extended warranty

If I purchase a new GL prior to the end of the standard warranty, I believe that I can get a credit toward a future extended warranty on my next GL. Is that right?

I bought mine in December of 2012. So, I assume if I get my next one in November of 2016, I would be fine. I have low mileage.

Also, I would think it would prorate if I wait until I can get a 2017 model.

A gaggle of MB's
If you apply for refund before the end of the Mercedes New Car Warranty - in essence the Mercedes Extneded New Car Warranty is untouched - then you are entitled to 100% refund.

If you aplly for that refudn before your Mercedes is traded in - then the 100% refund will go to lienholder if you have a note on the MB, which will reduce your loan payoff balance.

If you apply for refund at the time the MB is traded in - then the refund check will go to you.

Processing time is a full 6 weeks in either case.

If you have "used" part of the Extended New Car warranty - in time, mileage, or claims - then things get a little more complicated - all dependent on the regulations of the state you live in.

If your state regulations allow - partial refund is prorated by remaining time or remaining mileage - whichever is less - and then less any paid warranty claims - again, if your state allows extended warranty refunds.

Keep the beat !

Thanks for the excellent information. Since there is no lien holder, that makes it simpler. I will keep all of this in mind once the year of 2016 begins.
