Who has purchased an extended warranty?
Our GLK will turn 4 years old in early February. So, I'm seriously considering buying an extended warranty plan at our MB dealer. Our dealer has been the exclusive service agent for our GLK and we have faithfully had the recommended service intervals completed on time.
What are your experiences with this plan?

I've used the extended warranty on three cars. In two of the three cars the repairs cost were more than the warranty, and the total repairs for the 3 more than offset the total costs. For me it was a good deal.

Shop Around
The MB Extended Warranty can be sold by any dealer and not all dealers charge the same. I got my MB extended warranty for about 65% of the list price. My selling dealer actually tried to charge me 10% over list price.

The program is different in Canada. I had it for our E320. Had a few things done, but not much. We have it for our GLK250 (part of original purchase deal). Don't know if it will pay off, but provides some peace of mind. We also have the prepaid service on the GLK.
One thing to consider, is that many items are already covered by the emission system warranty. This would be the electronic controls and everything to do with keeping the engine running efficiently (design emissions). So in a way, a lot is already covered. It is a bit of a maze - worthe digging into and determining just what additional coverage the extended warranty provides.

Can one purchase the extended warranty at any time prior to the end of the regular warranty? If we still have our GLK at the end of the four year period, I definitely want to buy the extended warranty.
