Aftermarket warranty for GLS63 (2018)

Has anyone found a reputable after market warranty that will cover a 2018 gls63? I'm interested in purchasing a gls and I'm trying to compare costs to extend the cpo warranty vs aftermarket. Many that I've tried, do not offer coverage on the gls63.

CPO is best. 98% of aftermarket warranties are trash

This. Do a search for Cassandra Castro. Best prices around on CPO extension.

I did this when I purchased my GL63 at the end of the lease. Although I used a different dealer with a lower price.

I found a used GL63 that the owner had a transferable aftermarket warranty, and they were shockingly good to deal with. Worth keeping an eye out. Sometimes these warranty companies are only as good as your local shop as they are the ones fighting for your coverage, might be worth talking to a few to see which they prefer. Back in my shop days we had some trash companies but there was one (and this was Subaru so different platform) that the local rep was smart and liked us, they covered multiple engine failure claims with no questions which is almost unheard of..

Mike has good reviews in the Porsche community for selling the Fidelity Warranty.

mjourdan@mossymotors.com

keep in mind almost all aftermarket warranties exclude Air Suspension.

I used Jeff Jackson he was great to work with to extend the two additional years. I would also consider prepaid maintenance depending upon your mileage.

He was higher than others so I did not go with him.

Another vote for Jeff Jackson. I get my PPM from him as well.

Oh and Cassandra Castro (who I used to use) is no longer w/ MB.

Rafael Dianov rdianov@mbofelmbrook.com He works at the same dealership as Cassandra did and I've used him for two recent warranty extensions. He was less expensive than Jeff for the same warranty.

Anyone have experience with the QualityShield warranty plan that Rafael Dianov is selling? After reading over it, it looks like it would cover potential cylinder scoring and air strut failure.

Anyone have experience with Fidelity’s warranty coverage? Also in the market for an extended warranty as my 2018 GLS had just over 41k and out of Mercedes coverage

I’m hoping for feedback as well as I’ll be up in August with similar miles.
