Smile 10 year warranty on '00 ML430

Hello,
How are all your W163's doing?
I need to mention I am so happy for my 10 year warranty. I have
received all of my work on my vehicle under warranty.

If presented with a warranty package like that again, I WOULD
take it (now understand I would NOT a Hyundai or the like)
only on a vehicle that is worthy of lasting over 10 years)

I still LOVE my 2000 ML430. it is comfortable and gives a great ride
I only have 64000 miles on it. but I am working on my second set of
tires. I will not get the low profiles any more.


But I am heere to stand up for the very expensive warranty that IS
worth it.

Happy driving.

when you brought the car you were presented with a warranty. most buyers do not even hear that part of the sales pitch. Especially when they mention the 8k + for the warranty.

So, if you recently brought a vehicle within 2 weeks, I would think twice, or if you are thinking about buying about mercedes, or other vehicle.

I was presented with an option ot buy additional warranty but it was for 2,3,4 years only. It did not go 10 years as mentioned here.

8K + is an exaggeration...

If I not misaken, it was about $2400 for 8 years/100K miles...

00 ml430 doing just fine.... I STILL love my ML

my ml430 has 95000 miles and i love it.
the navi system goes hoki sometime .. but now i use my smartphone. It is a lot better and free...
My body is pretty great... I polish , wax all by hand ever since it was purchased.
I vacuum interior by hand it is still very good. I brought the summer and winter mats.
1 of my horns is gone or wires or fuse (from what i read) must fix that.. I hear
ml500 horns are excellent fit and louder (I love that) i blow my horn all the time.. living in boston)

The engine and tranny is very durable.. I think the tranny is leaking fluid now but that is easily solved just keep adding.. Will contemplate a fix this summer.

Other than very small issues my 00' ML430 has done right for me. I am sticking with the 00 ML.
I do love the mini's and X5's but will hold out for now.
