New to me 2012 ML 350..warranty?

Bought it yesterday with 21k miles on the odometer. I am trying to decide whether or not it's worth it for the warranty? What has others experience been? I read about the issues with the chain clatter,but didn't seem to be damning to the car. I have a quote for a 5yr/60k fidelity warranty w/ $100 deductible for a little over $3k.

Ml350 bluetec
I would buy the warranty, I bought a 2014 ML 350 Bluetec with around 60,000 miles on it. I have since needed the oil cooler replaced, throttle pedal replaced. All handled under the warranty. I suggest that you read the fine print of any warranty to see what they exclude. In my case, they have excluded the NOx sensors on my Bluetec.....

A resounding Hell Yeah!

I purchased a 2013 with 16k miles two years ago. Literally driven by a little ole lady. My dear Bluetec ran up over $4k in warranty-covered repairs within a year.
