Cost without financing: $4,420.00
Cost with financing: $4,620.00
0% financing is available if desired on policy:
12 month for $1,200 down and $285 per month
18 month for $1,200 down and $190 per month
Then an additional $350 for entertainment pkg, which I have and which is included in my current warranty plan. I have 3 years interest free financing and total cost is $4100. So yours being $4620 + $350 is almost $900 more than what I pay with your $20k max claims cap. Mine is capped at $51k.
And then these are the exclusions that were in the sample policy that you sent to me:
You are correct, this contract is out of date (may), our exclusions have been updated since, current exclusions are posted above. $4,420 would be your amount today, plus a $200 financing fee, and the screenshot of current exclusions are posted above. I have never seen a policy need in excess of $20,000 in repairs, and I have 100% claims acceptance on policies that consist of a majority Mercedes AMG's. Land Rover's, Bentley's.

The AMG's are where I'd say we specialize.
The exclusions I posted look identical verbatim to what you posted, except you didn't go to the next page and copy the rest of them. You forgot the $350 entertainment package option, unless something changed and that is now included in the price.
When I had my S600 1 owner car that I purchased with just 24k miles, the policy I had on that car paid out $24k in claims in just 3 years and 23k miles. I still had 4 years and 52k miles of coverage left, but I got tired of taking the car in every couple of months for more repairs. And that was a car that had zero abuse during its life. That one had no lifetime cap on payouts, but each individual repair was capped at the current NADA book value. I only paid $3300 for that policy through my credit union and was refunded $1800 after I traded in the car for the unused portion of the warranty. That policy was every bit as good as a new car warranty and if the credit union still offered the same policy at that price, I would have purchased it in a heartbeat on this car.
I talked to my local MB dealer where I bought the warranty and they don't sell online. I was told they would need to inspect the vehicle prior to issuing the warranty, which is what I was also told from one of the online dealers. As I mentioned in my post, any automobile dealer that sells Fidelity can sell you one. A buddy with a 14 Audi A8 got a better price from the local Acura dealer.
As to your question, I doubt the struts would be covered. Here is section on specific parts not covered, principally maintenance type items:
UNDER PLATINUM COVERAGE, ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS: BRAKE LININGS, BRAKE DRUMS AND ROTORS, DISC BRAKE
PADS, STANDARD MANUAL TRANSMISSION CLUTCH FRICTION DISC, PRESSURE PLATE, PILOT BEARING, THROW-OUT BEARING
AND ARM, AIR BAGS, SOLAR POWERED DEVICES, GLASS, LENSES, SEALED BEAMS, BODY PARTS AND/OR PANELS, WEATHER
STRIPPING, TRIM, MOLDINGS, LOCK CYLINDERS, TIRES, WHEELS, ALL BATTERIES EXCEPT HYBRID/EV/HYDROGEN HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERIES AS LISTED UNDER GOLD, LIGHT BULBS, UPHOLSTERY, PAINT, BRIGHT METAL, FREEZE PLUGS, FILTERS, HEATER AND
RADIATOR HOSES, EXHAUST SYSTEM, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SHOCK ABSORBERS, WORK SUCH AS FRONT-END ALIGNMENT
OR WHEEL BALANCING (EXCEPT WHEN REQUIRED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN), SAFETY RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS, AUDIO/SECURITY OR OTHER SYSTEMS NOT FACTORY INSTALLED, OR VINYL AND CONVERTIBLE TOPS;
Standard exclusions for extended warranties. Those cosmetics are covered by your traditional insurance policy, and others are wear items, ie, tires, rotors, pads, fluids.

I purchased my car in December with 30k miles. I purchased Total Exclusionary Coverage through Endurance that covers the car until Jan, 2028 or 131k miles for $4100 with $100 deductible. It's already paid out over $2500 on a claim back in March. If you're interested in the coverage, you can reach them at 866-432-4443. And remember that the cost is negotiable. I got my cost down almost $1k. DO NOT buy anything other than Total Exclusionary Coverage as all other policies are named component. Starting mileage will definitely affect the cost of coverage. And buying more years and miles makes the most sense since it doesn't cost much more to beef up the miles and years. The policy is transferable to the next owner, which definitely will add extra value to the car.
How has your experience been with Endurance? Have they tried to wiggle out and not pay a claim?

I've only had 1 claim, which was a couple of months after I purchased the car. It was paid out fine without any issues.
Something I recently learned from another member is that Endurance just started offering coverage in CA, but the cost there is ridiculous and not worth having IMHO. If you are in the other states, then the cost of coverage is very reasonable. For example, the cost of coverage here in IL is about 1/3 the cost in CA. Also, CA limits to 4 yr and 40k miles. In IL I was able to get 7 yrs and 100k coverage.

Hi there, so is Endurance still a save bet nowadays?
