I also just purchased a CPO 2022 GLE450 from a Merecedes Dealership, I paid about $3.5k CAD to upgrade the warranty to ELW.The Extended Limited Warranty offers an additional 24 or 36 months of coverage and a total of 160,000 accumulated kilometers. Like the Mercedes-Benz Certified Warranty, the Extended Limited Warranty goes into effect when the New Vehicle Warranty expires, however it provides coverage that is more comprehensive. For additional details, please contact your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.
If you want an extended warranty, I'd go with Mercedes, not a third party.
Based on my personal experience, I have owned two new European cars well past their warranty and if I bought extended warranties I would have wasted the money.

To me, third party extended warranties are definitely not worth it, they only cover certain parts and fall short on covering electronics. Most of them also won't approve OEM parts.
Bottom line, its great having it if you ever need it and a total waste of money if you don't. Do whatever helps you sleep better.

Two features that I strongly consider are that if I sell the vehicle in a private transaction the warranty is transferable, and I believe it will help sell the vehicle. Also, if the vehicle is traded or totaled, you can get a prorated refund.
In 2019 when I purchased a 2015 S550 in a private transaction, being my first serious MB, I bought an 8 yr/80,000 mi Fidelity Platinum warranty (an exclusionary warranty) for $4,000. I had two claims that paid $1,800, processed by the dealer. When I traded the vehicle and cancelled the warranty, I received a refund of $2,200. I broke even but had peace of mind.
In 2022 when I bought my CPO 2020 GLS450 I paid $2,900 for an extra two years of coverage (dealer first asked $4,400). While I have not had any claims so far (coverage thru 2/27), I have peace of mind should I have issues with E-ABC, Burmester high end 3D system, Distronic, Massage seats, etc.
Note that pricing is negotiable and everyone needs to make the decision re cost/benefit. I would not have paid $4,400 for two years of coverage on my GLS, but I was willing to pay $2,900 for another two years of unlimited mileage.




The difference is whether they are "Exclusionary" or "Inclusionary."
Exclusionary policies are generally more complete because only the things excluded are not covered.
"Inclusionary" is a list of things that are covered, and if they are not listed they are not covered. The longer the list, the more expensive the policy.
The most expensive choice is "exclusionary."
CPOs are "Inclusionary."
In my case, I bought the Fidelity Platinum breakdown insurance, which is exclusionary (their cheaper plans are inclusionary).
My service department said they are able to cover more things with the Fidelity Platinum than with the CPO.
In either case, it's value to you or me, is how comfortable I am with being exposed to potentially expensive repairs. Just like health or any other kind of insurance. You are hiring somebody to share your risk.
By the way, my local dealer had the cheapest prices after shopping around. Well, $12 more for 48 month coverage.
Thanks!

I'm also unsure if we would even drive the car enough to need the extra 2 years of warranty. It'll be the family car that we take on weekends. My wife (works from home now) and I still have our daily drivers. The GLE will be driven 1-3 days out of the week to take our kids (age 4 and 5) to gymnastics or run errands on the weekend. I drove the car off their lot 7 weeks ago today and have only put 700 miles on the car.
And then considering how long we might keep the car - that's an unknown as well. We don't change cars often, but then again we are a younger family. We may find ourselves upgrading more often in our later years. My wife bought her current car brand new in 2014 and I have been driving my 1998 Lexus GS400 since 2008.

I'm not even sure that a dealer other than the selling dealer can issue a CPO for a car bought elsewhere.

I've seen plenty of people mention MB Lousiville and they said that they bought extended plans for their vehicles from them.

That comparison is valid, and thanks for sharing it.
