Extended Warranty

Have a (Feb.) '00 ML430 with 35,000 we're planning on keeping indefinitely. Looking at getting platinum extended warranty by United Autogroup, with coverage at all MB dealerships. Extension priced at $3350 for 3 years past new car warranty/100K total mileage. Any thoughts on this deal?

I would get it since you are keepin it. It will be worth it in the future. Most work usually costs at least $300. If I mulitply that times the number of service visits for my ML, thats about $300,000!!!

That was my line of thinking too! I think it's a fair price for the extra 3 years of "potential" problems. :p

i found out that you can get the extended warranty directly through daimler-chrysler, and it costs less. i'm now planning on going through Lisa Lehrbaum at Courtesy Motors (800) 655-3535. i came across her name from another mbworld.org forum, and spoke with her on Friday. total 7 year/100,000 mi. warranty at nationwide MB dealerships with $100 deductible is $2,690. if you get a lower offer from her, let me know. :p
