Should I buy Warrenty Extension?
I was just offered a 3 year/100k extension to my factory warrenty on my 04ML350. What do you guys think about that? Should I? It costs near $2700.

I took the ml in for the Check Engine light being on for the last month and just found out the bill is $1700. All but $200 for hoses is covered. Since the 2-year warranty was $1700 and has 4 months left, it was worth getting...even for the peace of mind.
Lisa at Courtesy Motors in Chico had some pretty good prices...you should call her.

1999 ML430
I recently had a complete transmission failure in my 1999 ML430, about 3,000 miles away from home. I had not bought the extended warranty as I felt that the vehicle at 50~K when the policy was offered, was probably good for at least that much more without significant risk of major component failure. My misconceptions about Z-F and Getrag quality were costly.
It would have been less expensive to buy the extended warranty than to spend 5 days in Toronto obtaining a replacement transmission. And, I would have been spared the lousy attitudes demonstrated by MBUSA when they were contacted from Canada regarding the matter.
Will I buy another Diamler product??? Ouch!

I was quoted a $3300 for a 7 year 100,000 miles on my ML320 2001. Which right now has 30k on it. I am planning to go for it as the years are after the original warranty expires and the miles are cumulative meaning I would get 70k more extended warranty as I already have 30k.
Neat ! Ha!

This warranty is through a Car Dealer in VA and he is a Mercedes Specialist. Does it matter ?? I am right now under warranty and he is Authorised ., so I thought I can buy warranty from him and still he does all the work for me

VA Warranty
I am in Tidewater, have an '02 with the extended warranty. My SA told me that you can get the Starmark extension up until the last month or last 1000 miles of original warranty. I would not own this vehicle without it; Too many expensive gremlins out there.
