I only issue our most comprehensive coverage, they're not mid level coverage policies that dealers try to roll into their financing at the dealership.
As the 3rd party salesman, are you notified of every single claim that is filed through Freedom? Because that 100% number seems to be pulled out of thin air or is only based on people who've reached out to you about a positive experience with a claim.

We have access to the the system, same system that lets us issue policies, I can see and track the status of claims, policies, refunds, payouts, etc.

everyone buys an extended warranty for peace of mind. why sleep with 1 eye open worrying if the warranty is going to pay out when you can spend just a few more dollars and sleep peacefully.

Also, does anyone know how much it cost to add 2 more years onto a CPO S-560? I used a place many years ago on this forum and I want to say it was around 5k, but wanted to find out if the price has increased a lot since 2013?

Thanks for any feedback!
I recently purchased an additional 2 years on my CPO warranty on my 2018 S560 and paid $3,850.00 from Jeff Jackson at Mercedes-Benz of Louisville. I also received a quote from Rafael at MB of Elmbrook and he was the same price, so I know this was most likely the best price I was going to get.

I sat on this for exactly 30 days after I purchased my S-Class used and luckily Jeff was able to get it into the system before MB charges a surcharge of 15% on top of the warranty price after you are past the 30-day mark.

Good luck on your search, if you haven't already found something.

I spoke with Jeff last week and got the same quote.

anyone have current experience, pricing and thoughts on things to consider with the following scenario:

2019 s560. 40k miles. CPO. haven’t taken possession yet as I’m waiting on delivery.
Has another 8 months of factory warranty and then 1 year of CPO after that. So I could buy the MB extension for another 1 or 2 years after- which is fully refundable if I sell the car before it kicks in.

Or I could buy a third party from who? At what price? Does it not start until my current warranties run out?

any detail you can share would be appreciated. I don’t normally buy these extensions as I just self insure but I’m leaning hard towards the MB option as I can always cancel if I decide I don’t need it or want it.

Buy the extended warranty through MB, don’t ever trust a 3rd party. Too many ways they will try to wiggle out of not paying. MB has always taken care of me on any extended ever purchased.

I wouldn’t buy anything but the MB extended warranty. I did a lot of research before making my final decision and I read too many messages about others who used a third party and items just weren’t covered. MB stands behind their products and will take care of you. It might be more but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it for the peace of mind.

Just wait until your CPO is almost up, so much could happen in the mean time that it really isn't worth worrying about now. CPO does not offer the best coverage, especially at the amount of money they ask for. The two best 3rd party warranties, Freedom Warranty and Fidelity offer better coverage and price than the CPO, but like I said. I would not worry until you have about 4 months of your CPO left that came with the car.

It is correct that not all third parties are created equal, but to say none of them are good is like saying Mercedes are poor at reliability because Maseratis break easily, same industry, but apples to oranges.

No problem, you can reach out at tgibson@highline-autos.com or (855) 924-1333 to speak directly. The biggest affect to pricing is milage on the vehicle, so depending on the milage currently on the vehicle and your driving habits, you may save thousands punching the out of CPO coverage now vs. closer to expiration. If nothing else, before the end of 2023 would be smart to sign up, we saw a rate increase from both providers across all future policies on January 1st 2023, and I can't imagine they'd be lowering pricing for 2024.
