Talking Newbie

Hello fellow Mercedes owner. I would like to introduce myself as a newbie and a lurker for the past 2 days. We (this car is shared amongst the family but I drive it the most...only on a monthly basis) have an S500 with barely 10k- popular silver with grey on the inside. The airbag sensor came on last week-so time to go to the dealer. Is this proper etiquette to comlain in an introduction ? We were thinking of getting the extended warranty. There's no way that we're going to hit the 100k mark, but we were thinking of the coverage for the next, I believe, 3/4 years.
(note to self: check with dealer ) AFter reading the forums, I would like to be active here.
I've been an active member on Club Lexus, and that was where I got the referrral to come here. "I see lots of nice Mercedes here". I see lots of owners upgrade the taillights and clear headlights. I have gain lots of informations here already!!! I can see where I'm going to be spending my work schedules.

Thank you DMI+RY for welcoming and the info on the extended warranty. I am clueless and haven't been looking into the extended warranty b/c I assumed to go to the dealer and get it through-didn't realize to get the one online. Thanks

Unfortunately, MB offers Starmark extended warranty upt to 7yr/100k mi ONLY if you buy it within the first year of the vehicle...
If you past 12 months - they won't sell you that warranty...

In that case the only solution is aftermarket extended warranty (actually MB reselling one of the aftermarket warranties with their brand on it).
