MB Warranty
Mates... sorry new to the forum and MB as well and hope you can help or throw some light.
I recently bought a 2009 ML from a non MB dealer. It has 1 more year and plenty of mileage left on the factory warranty.
I asked a MB dealer for the ELW and got a good price on it. But the Netstar system is not letting them issue the warranty. I am told that MB tells them that ML was a MB lease vehicle that was sold at an auction by a MB dealer and since it was not CPO'd before it got sold, I cannot get an ELW.
Do you know anything about this?
This pisses me off no end. Where the hell does it say on their website that I cannot buy a ELW before the factory warranty ends. I don't want to sit on a 35K vehicle with no factory warranty.
Anyone have similar issues?
Do you have personal experiences with other 3rd party warranties that are exclusionary and priced well.

Be wary of most aftermarket warranties. I would go without rather than throw away cash for one. In fact I never purchase any extended warranties.
Next time spend a few more bucks and purchase your MB from a dealer with the extended warranty they provide.

Most extended warranties are nothing more than an insurance policy!
You pay the premium according to the risk.
If your car is good and tidy with a real service history, your risk is fairly low. So the cover will be bad odds.
If it has been caned, with only occasional service your risk is high, so perhaps you then should consider the extended cover.
