Correct....it was an E60. Maintenance on that car was ridiculous. But the sound from the NA V10 was intoxicating.

When I was digging around for information on them I found out that Goldman-Sachs has a large interest in the company. Goldman tends to back companies that are solid and will make them money.
please how did you get the warranty? Any internet link or broker recommendations? I have a used S550 that I just purchase from an independent Non MB delearship.

How many miles on your car? You may still be able to purchase MB coverage through a Benz dealer if the car is still under warranty.

My MB service advisor said it was the best aftermarket policy company he ever dealt with.
