Extended Warranty, 2006 S65

I'm closing in on a used 2006 S65; but will not proceed without an extended warranty. Neither one of the cars I looking at are with a Benz dealer, so I'm looking for an independent warranty company. Anybody have any experience with a warranty company that will cover a S65. AMG and/or 12 pistons seem to narrow the field.

MBUSA site quotes MSRP's on extended waranty on all models except AMG and 12 cylinder models. Does MB even offer extended warranty on these cars?

The only extended warranty on used models is part of the CPO (Starmark) program. It is available for AMG and V12s at $2,395 for a sixth year (from original delivery) and $3,995 for a sixth and seventh year.

http://www.mbusa.com/pre-owned/about/warranty-info.do

The warranty extension on new cars is also available for AMG and V12 models, at $3,000, $3,575 and $4,880 for a one, two or three-year extension past the normal four. (All these extended warranties are good for 100,000 miles as long as the time isn't up first.)

The factory has no warranty program for used cars not bought from a dealer under the Starmark program.

If you are buying from an individual, have him buy an M-B extended warranty. They are transferrable if the car is sold to an individual from the original owner.

Found a 2006 s65 with 13k miles, from a dealer. Car is certified so it gets the extra year, more than enough for my purposes. thanks.

Once it arrives (in a couple of weeks) I'll post some pictures.

Cheers,

S-CLASS, CL-CLASS, SL-CLASS, G-CLASS, AMG and V-12 MODELS 4

+12 months/up to 100,000 total vehicle-accrued miles $3,000
+24 months/up to 100,000 total vehicle-accrued miles $3,575
+36 months/up to 100,000 total vehicle-accrued miles $4,880

Exclusion, point 4

[I]"4. Excluding AMG and V-12 models."[/I]

Seems like a contradiction to me.

The MB web site is full of errors. I do know they sold me that warranty with a new C55 and offered it with a new S65.

Do you mean cylinders? I believe the brakes are 8-piston out front if that's what you're aiming at

Each cylinder has a single piston...so if he is talking about 12 pistons than it is probably a V-12.

Maybe this means that they will cover either the AMG ...OR... the V12 but won't cover an AMG....AND....V12. So, using that logic an AMG55 is fully warrantable as is a 600 (v12 without the AMG) but that the 65's (AMG and V12) aren't covered. It's that little "and" in there that makes it read this way.
