Used car warranty recommendations & experiences?
Hi, Jim in SoCal. Just received our amazing new (for us) dream car. Everything seems to work and I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm looking for recommendations (whether) to purchase a used car warranty based on your experience (I believe its called exclusionary coverage?) for my 2014 SL65 43k mi.
Thanks,

Reason: deleted my chassis # in title as not a model specific question
Just acquired this car for longer road trips - computer says I got 37 mpg on a 220 mile drive. Loving it so far - should I just follow the computer for maintinence? Says I need next service A1 in 8700 miles...
I live in France and I have owned several models of Mercedes-Benz including the 126, 124, 203, and currently the 168, 163, and 215.
It's difficult to find the right tutorials and explanations in France, so I often look to MBworld for mechanical information.
And now i Register
I'm finally in a position I can own a MB car. It's not much but I literally fell in love with a CLA200. Should be here next week and I really can't wait
Just purchased my first Mercedes. 2009 GL550 X164. Loving it and I've already learned how to trick the air ride for a permanent lift and fit some big tires on it (cutting involved).
I've already learned a ton from the fantastic forum members.

I really like this. I have been looking at Cayenne's and Range Rover Sport's to do a lift kit on but seeing this makes me want to add this to the group. Would you mind sharing with me where you purchased the lift kit and also the trick you mention? Feel free to message me privately about it. Thanks in advance for any help.
Found the time to finally join the family here on the forum.
Bought my 1st Mercedes here back in 11/2021...with 43k miles on the odo, off a 2nd hand dealer, after a 15 minute pre-purchase inspection by my independent Subie shop. Car was clean as a Boomer old time whistle despite being originally sold & driven for the 1st year in NJ.
After 15 months and 34k miles, this car continues to impress me and my passengers. Since I'm a former or reformed (or turncoat) Turbo Subie owner, I tend to pay extra attention to things like oil changes, waiting for the car to fully warm up b4 exercising (just like me).
My Dad had a few MBs (2001 E55, 1986 300E), so I probably have it in my DNA somehow to wind up with an AMG Winter set up: Konig Rennform 18"s with Michelin CrossClimates.

Welcome and thanks for the intro and the pic. Looks great! Congratulations
Just bought a 2013 SL550, first MB for me, so I have a lot to learn! I would like to add Apple CarPlay and am looking for input as to what others have found.

Thanks for the kind words David. I made a post of everything I did here
Hello all,
Brand new to forum and brand new Mercedes owner. I recently purchased a 2013 G Class AMG G 63
from original owner and only 51,000 miles on it. What an awesome vehicle!! Love it!!
New to the Benz world, first MB after many Porsche vehicles. Traded a 2018 Macan GTS on a (executive demo) 2022 E450 All Terain Wagon w/ 8k miles.
Still have my 2015 Cayman GTS (MT).
I do have a question, what sub-forum do the Wagon folks belong? Sedan, SUV, E Class? I would like to know if anyone has had success installing a trailer hitch without having to go the custom route?
Bill
