4,000 for 3 yrs sounds good to me.

Is there anything missing , that someone can pick up on?

seems rather costly, might as well get it from the dealer for that price. I recently purchased basically the same coverage for like 1800, whats ur mileage? Is this a reputable company?

A waste of money.. YOu should save the 4K for your coming airmatic issues. That warranty doesn't cover that. Nor does it cover any of the internal electronics specific to the S class like the DCM... But it's your dime.. this car can't cost much more that 18K to 20K right? ( 2001-2002? ) Would I shell out 25% Ltv to an outside source for "warranty"? I think not. That;s how you get upside down on what may have been a good deal.

Listen so what Warranty would you recommend?
Are you sure its not covering the Airamatic, it seems to be the Full Front and Rear Suspension.

On WarrantyDirect its like 5k for 1 yr and same exact specifics lol.

I would think this is considered air matic,>>>"Variable Dampening Suspension, Compressor, Control Module, Dampening Actuator, Solenoid, Strut Height Sensor, Mode Selector Switch, Seals and Gaskets"<<<
I could be wrong but who knows.
I have heard that some of these high end after market warranties cover more than the original factory warranty and you can have who ever you want, do the repairs (ASE certified) independent or dealer.

You may be correct, the problem is, the way a lot of these things are defined, you never really know till you have a claim denied. then you're stuck.
Check out the fine print..

"Rates and coverage provided on this site are for informational purposes only and subject to change. Please refer to the Extended Service Contract for complete descriptions of the coverage. We use the terms 'Warranty' and 'Extended Warranty' interchangeably with 'Vehicle Service Contract' and 'Extended Service Contract' for marketing purposes only."

The Contract can be viewed in PDF it's the same thing. lol
So OK it's covered.

Now there is a 30 day and 1000 mile drive period.

So Im thinking i need to get the Warranty, b4 I pickup the car, that way I will already have 800 miles on it when i get back yeye.
