What is the best aftermarket warranty for our cars. Since im alitle over 100k i know something is bound to fail on these cars so which company offers the best warranty???

Quadcammer

very few companies will warranty a car with over 100k miles. Just a losing proposition for them, especially with something like a benz.

I use the chrysler service contract, but I don't think they warranty any car over 60k.

good luck.

Try fidelity.

I have had VERY good dealings with Easycare on my AMG. I do not know what they will want to charge you with that milage, but good luck. I bought the zero deductable, and haven't ever had to pay a penny at MB dealers

Good luck

See yeah

how about US Fidelis. I see there commercials on TV in NY and NJ so they must be a pretty big and good company to tv advertise im guessing. any input from you guys??



thanks

The Premium Value Platinum Coverage For 48 Mo or 100,000 Miles
For $3,996.00 $100.00 Deducible And I Hope I Never Have To Use it

thats a lot. Chrysler warranty is much cheaper.

Harley03joe

By How Much Cheaper ???

Glad to see I'm in good company. Paid $3195 (w/$200 deductible) for a 5yr/70,000 mile one on my 2004 S600 and that was for the top of the line, Maximum Care. I was surprised how reasonable it was given the complexity of the vehicle.

I think they'll allow you to buy as long as you don't have more than 70,000 miles on it.

US Fidelis and that lot you see on TV are probably not the best to go with. They're looking at covering Camrys not 5 litre V8 Benzs. You don't want to find out the hard way that your $5000 repair isn't covered.

The Chrysler Factory Plans ones came recommended by a CL65 owner on here.

Lots of contributors have reported good results and coverage with Mercury.

US Fidelis corp. offices are 15 min from my home here in Saint Louis, they just laid off 100 employees and are on the verge of shutting down. They are currently being investigated in 40 states for bad business practices and thousands of complaints. I would highly suggest someone else.

Lol Chrysler Warranty is the top tier for MB's if you payed more go get your $$ back. I think you can still cancel if you haven't filed a claim.

Find out how much Chrysler one is?

go with the Chrysler warranty if you have under 80k miles *(they give an additional discount if you are under 60k miles).

If you have higher miles *up to 200,000 ! try getcertus.com They have an interesting warranty that is paid month by month...as long as you pay the monthly fee, you are covered and the total aggregate coverage increases by $350 per month. And if you are unhappy with it , say a year down the line, you simply stop paying for it. No large upfront outlay

They quoted me $54.99 per month for a high mileage s430

U.S. Fidelis is a compete scam- they are legal experts in denying claims, and are actually more in the business of selling overpriced "life extension" items for your car; i.e. bs PTFE additives, snake oil, etc. Basically, unless your car meets very specific requirments, they will not sell you a warranty, but will try to sell you a ridiculous package of additives.

If you do end up buying one, like one of my associates, they will weasel out of the claim almost every time. The Federal government is currently investigating them for basically being a pyramid scam. Do research on 'em...

I have Chrysler warranty and i have no problem with them; i had aftermarket warranty on both of my 7 series bimmer in the past including mercury (hard to deal with sometimes) by far Chrysler is the most reasonably prices and the best i had so far.

My warranty is up to 124k miles, got it at 54K miles.

nachilus

I paid $2480 for a 70K miles Maximum care warranty; also the payment can be spread over a year interest free and the warranty is transferable if you decide to sell.

Fraser

Maybe it was just the place I bought it from (in post up thread) but the 1yr interest free option required paying a $165 admin fee. That's basically just over 5% interest. Cheap borrowing but not interest free.

Harley03joe

From Who ?????

Minuteman

The irony in this is "fidelis" in Latin means faithful.

Fraser

70K Maximum Care sounds like the Chrysler warranty. I got mine from www.chryslerfactoryplans.com for $3195 for 5yrs/70k miles on an '04 S600.

Have they covered items not actually listed on their policy? Their web site sample describes their policy as exclusionary, but reads like a typical inclusionary. Would you buy their warranty again? In short, have you been happy with them? Any noteworthy or major repairs they didn't cover?

tusabes

it is exclusionary. everything is covered unless listed as noncovered.
