First Mercedes - and it's a rather rare one

Hi all, I just found and purchased my 'new to me' 2012 E63 AMG Wagon ... super clean 46k mile CA car ... Picking it up Monday from NoCal and driving it home to SoCal.. Excited to own this cool car!

Question: Car seems very well maintained and checked out fine on car fax and on my test drive, and at a Mercedes dealer PPI... no CPO of course (was at a Broker for a private party sale) ...
SO - do I spend the almost 4k extra for a 2 yr extended warranty from Furst Automotive,
or take my chances? Will likely drive it 5k/yr or less. Need to decide by this Monday, 12/17/18. All thoughts welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Absolutely yes. The slightest malfunction will cost you dearly.

Not sure what 'priced right' would mean for one of these! LOL -- Paid 45k for it ... My independent shop here in SoCal says it's a very clean, well maintained car... so far, everything works, and it runs and drives fantastic. I did buy a 2 year warranty through the dealer... It's not a bad policy, but still searching for something better.. I can cancel the other one within a 90 day period. Love the car!
