Hi, thinking about getting the extended warranty. And just wondering what the benefits are. If I read the description, a lot of things are not covered like the battery and structs. What do people primarily buy it for?

I think most buy it to cover the big ticket items....blown motor, transmission, HVAC, the big fancy screens, etc.

Won't cover, paint, trim, and things expected to wear out and need replacement (like the battery and struts and stuff).

Strange that the Ext Warranty doesn't cover Struts....

2017 GLE350
I bought 4 years of PPM when I first bought my GLE350 new back in 2017. The PPM ran out last year and I paid my first service B. The tech found an some engine leak and the total bill including the service was $2100. He also told me at the next service, I would have to do brake system fluid flush, replace air filter element, and replace spark plugs which would be around $1400. He told me these items would be in addition to the regular service. He mentioned PPM would cover them.... does anyone know if this is true?

What prices would make a good deal / acceptable deal / horrible deal for each ? If it matters, I'm based in Northern California (South Bay).

Thank you!
You can get an extended warranty any time you want. I usually wait till the original warranty expires since I dont usually keep cars beyond 4 years. Prepaid maintenance is worth it since tge whole idea is to get a discount.

The price changes after 30 days of taking delivery of the vehicle. I got the ELW from Jeff Jackson - $4.25K for 7YR/100K.

That a total ripoff. On my E 43 after the original warranty expired I got a 3 year 100k for 2500. Dont get fleeced. The EQS has a ten year battery warranty, probably the only part of the car that could fail in that time (and would be very expensive)

I am confused. What can you buy that is 3 years and $2500?
