Looks like I get my 2024 GL:E450e in the next couple of weeks...been a long wait since I ordered it in December. So, they are now pressuring me to prepay maintenance, tires, extended warrantee. I have said thanks, but no thanks so far. Coming from a Lexus rx and not returning to the dealer after the first service as it was crazy expensive and time consuming...so, have done all my own oil changes every 5,000 miles(8,000 km) including filters with Synthetic 0w20...it's got 160,000 miles and runs just like new.
These are Canadian prices...You get oil, filter, key fob battery, washer fluid, dust filter change......that's it. For $820 including taxes per visit. In canada if I get it done elsewhere or have receipts...warrantee is valid, so, I don't have to go to MB for maintenance. I am planning road trip in June and once I return, will do a complete oil and filter service...my view of cheap insurance for breakin period

1- I believe you can purchase from any M-B dealer. I recommend you contact Jeff Jackson @ M-B Louisville; he's been very helpful and responsive for me. If you can get a decent price from him, or another dealership, then it helps with the answer to question #2.
Good luck!

You can purchase another prepaid maintenance plan. It's actually called something different. Instead of "Mercedes-Benz Premier Prepaid Maintenance" it is "Mercedes-Benz Star Prepaid Maintenance", but as far as I know, it is the same thing. Don't think you can get 4 years, but can get 2 or 3, up to like 80k miles.

Presently 19 S560 SEDAN, 2014 XK, SOLD GLE 450e
Bought a GLE 450e in late Jan early Feb and bought the two year prepaid deal. Sold same car to my neighbor in March of this year and was told the prepaid did not go along with the car to the new owner. That is a real irritation or burr under my saddle i.e. pisses me off and makes me think of a BMW Xdrive 50 for my next buy and cancel the car I've on order. Grrrrrrrrrrrr with an attitude about that prepaid thing.

Edit: based on reading a new PPM contract, it looks like my first paragraph is correct. Have your neighbor go to the dealer for the transfer.
My second paragraph was incorrect. It's no longer refundable. I've lined through that.

I saved quite a bit on a two year plan. I bought it from a dealer in Kentucky and I live in Florida. After I got my quote, I approached my local dealer and asked if they would meet the price and they said no. So I bought the plan from Kentucky online and then brought my car into my local MB dealer for service the following week. No issues as these plans are national.
