Total cost of the job was around $975, of which my warranty picked up all but my $100 deductible. ![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)

In the eight years on this board I have never heard anyone who bought a real warranty complaining that it was a pointless and unnecessary expense. A lot of tears shed in the other direction though.

My warranty company covers AMG cars for the same price as S550's & S600's. Amazing and true. If I would have purchased a 2007 S65 with 24k miles, I would have only paid $3300 for 7 years and 75k miles of coverage. A rare find indeed.

Dam, the more I read about 'Cedes warranties the more a deal it seems.
Honestly, Do you drive around in fear of the next this breaking? I'm beginning to think that is how S-class drivers drive around. All the luxury ride in the world isn't worth that.

A 6-7 year old S-class with 35k miles that cost $35k and has an exclusionary warranty for 3-4 years that costs $4k will cost the owner much less over 4 years than a 8-9 year old S-class with 100k miles that cost $20k with no warranty coverage.
