new to me 2018 or 2019 AMG GLE 63s

Hello- Any tips/pointers? Looking to buy 2019 or 2018 AMG GLE 63s ....found one close by with everything I want as far as options but it is model year 2018 and a bit more miles than i am looking for @ 30K miles. It is of course out of warranty now and looking for options to purchase extended warranty. Any suggestions? Costs? Any advice as far as maintenance issues to watch out for are welcome here as well! Any Pre purchase inspection to do before buying? Thanks in advance

Hey TD, I help lots of MBWorld members with their warranty search on out of warranty AMG's, a Manufactures Extension by Freedom Warranty on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 63S, 5 years / up to 100k miles (additional 25k miles available for only $400), $3,585, repairs accepted at all Mercedes-Benz dealers North America dealers, covered for $275 in labor an hour, only $100 deductible, and 0% financing is available. You can contact me at (855) 924-1333 or tgibson@highline-autos.com with any questions or if you'd like to see an example contract.

Here is the one I used for your quote: https://www.rsfautos.com/vehicle-det...faf48fb51b9548

I think they're great looking cars and fast as hell, I looked at purchasing one when my S-Class was totaled, unfortunately due the market and such sort supply, I couldn't wait for my perfect one to become available, went with a Range Rover instead.

Coverage starts at the purchase of the contract correct, you'd be covered until 6/29/2027. You can send me an email at tgibson@highline-autos.com and I can send the full example contract.

Freedom Warranty's Manufactures extension is an exclusionary policy, here is the small paragraph of exclusions:"The components, parts and descriptions listed below are not covered. If the component, part, or description is not listed below it is a covered

part or component.

1a. Paint, ripped or damaged or worn upholstery, broken glass or glass or any kind, components contained within glass, frame damage,

body damage, carpeting, fading or cracked dash, headlights, tail lights, light bulbs, lighting or lenses of any kind or bulbs of any kind,

moldings, interior or exterior trim items, fiberglass top, vinyl or fabric tops, metal, sheet metal, bumpers, ornaments, plastic, body panels

and components, trim, weather stripping, ducting or tubing, buttons, handles, door hinges, latches, cords, cables, tires, wheels,

or wheel covers, tire pressure sensors/monitors, seat belts and retractors, airbags or any other type of additional restraint system or

component, keyless lock system, keyless entry pad or transmitter, alarms, remote starters, electronics not original to

vehicle, sunroofs not original to vehicle, sunroof rails, tracks, drains or frames, lift kits, catalytic converters, mufflers, headers, exhaust manifolds,

exhaust manifold gaskets, tail pipes, any component related to the exhaust, any emissions related component, batteries, hoses,

belts (with exception of timing belt), fluids, filters, gases, shop supplies, taxes, welds, winches, spark plugs, spark plug wires, glow plugs,

fuses, brake pads, rotors, brake drums, brake shoes, brake caliper slides and brackets, brake mounts, nuts, bolts, fasteners,

brackets of any kind, constant velocity joints (if boot is damaged or missing), any manual transmission clutch components."

Do it! I had a ‘17 I just sold with 56,000 miles. Went in for a service B and left with a $4,000 bill for a leaky timing cover gasket. I was quoted like $5 grand for a year extension on my CPO. I wouldn’t own those cars out of warranty anymore.

just be prepared for regular rear brakes wearing out every 15,000 miles with normal driving.

Above is an insane quote. Paid $3,550 plus tax ($4,695 MSRP plus tax) on two years CPO extension from Jeff Jackson (in December of 2018 though).

I agree. That’s why I didn’t buy it. The little 20 yr old chick was telling me why it’s expensive “because those AMGs they build them by hand” and I’m thinking “this can’t be serious”.

Think of the Mercedes Benz factory warranty as "top" tier coverage, then the Mercedes Benz CPO is "second" tier coverage, inclusionary policies that only covers listed components. The $3,585 policy I quoted with Freedom is closer to factory warranty, than the MB CPO... and is for 3 years longer coverage than the CPO as well.

My Service Manager says he has better luck getting things covered with the M-B CPO than Fidelity, which are both sold by the Dealership. There is more profit to the back end from Fidelity, so most F&I folks push the aftermarket policies harder.

I agree that an "exclusionary" Service Policy (not a warranty, it's an "Insurance Policy") is better than an "Inclusionary" one. I thought the M-B CPO was "exclusionary," but I may be confusing it with the ELW that you can purchase before the main warranty expires.
In either case, they are true "warranties," unlike Fidelity or other Insurance Policies.
