Anyone know what they run? I have an '07 w/ 27K miles. If this car is ANYTHING like the E55s its gonna be a bloody mess with repairs.

Fraser

As it is in factory warranty you might be surprised at the cost.

e55 baller

not sure what you mean? Standard warranty for the S65 is 4 years/50K miles correct? What is the cost for extended warranty options once that period expires?

Guessing $1,500 per year, multiple years will costs less, from MB.

I am also interested if Chrysler warranties the 65 because I want to buy a 2007 down the line.

I was quoted 6k for 3yrs on an 06. Z

The finance manager at a local MB dealership is a friend of mine and is charging less than $4,500 for Easy Care Total Care (arguably the best aftermarket warranty) for a 4 year 50k additional warranty with $250 deductible. This would be substantially lower if the car had less than 25k miles. If you are interested, I can put you in touch with her.

I see a few recommendations for Chrysler extended warranties on this and other forums. Are they associated with chrysler Corp, the bankrupt and now Fiat owned car company?

There are several options for the plan coverage level, however, as any Mercedes-Benz vehicle is generally considered ‘high performance’ the only plan that I recommend is the Maximum Care plan which is an exclusionary coverage. Exclusionary plans (often referred to as bumper-to-bumper) cover everything mechanical and electrical – close to 6,000 components – except for the stated exclusions (ie, brake pads, tires, body panels, clutch component, etc.). This is a brief summary and a more detailed ‘plan provision’ is available for review upon request.

The process for obtaining service is pretty straightforward: you go to your local MB dealer and the service writer will contact Chrysler Authorizations for pre-approval before any work is done. Chrysler provides a pre-approval authorization number, the work is completed and then the MB servicing dealer is paid directly by Chrysler Service Contracts via credit card (there may be exceptions depending on dealer preferences).

Maximum Care

Mileage Plan Code Price $200 deductible
1 year UNLIMITED UM1200N $1,710.00
2 years UNLIMITED UM2200N $1,985.00
3 years UNLIMITED UM3200N $2,430.00
4 years UNLIMITED UM4200N $2,810.00
5 years 70,000 UM5200N $2,810.00

I thought the extended warranties were cheaper if the existing factory warranty was still in place. I know with the Chrysler plan I bought there was no need for inspection if the original factory warranty was in play.

I got mine from the same place.

BVLDARI

For EasyCare it is irrelevant whether you are in factory warranty or not. All they care is for an inspection and miles. Of course, if you are out of warranty and they find problems, you will have to fix them prior to getting the warranty and that will be out of pocket, essentially making the warranty more expensive. If your car has no issues, then it is the same price either way.

Yes please can you have her contact me or provide her contact info? thank you.

I can vouch for that my local MB dealer use them too, and if you purchase it from them theres a $0 deductible!

Doesnt matter if factory warranty is expired or not...

Hey guys...I was looking at Chrysler Factory Plans and noticed the following:

NOTE: The following vehicles are not eligible for a Chrysler Service Contract: Vehicles equipped with a 12-cylinder engine

http://www.factoryplans.com/assets/c...ximum_Care.pdf

Am I misunderstanding or are they basically excluding the V-12 Mercedes with that statement?

Fraser

Strange. My S600 is covered by Chrysler Maximum Care policy, as are many others on this forum. It is one of the most popular out there.

I wonder if it is new.

Fraser

You got my heart racing there!

That pdf is for the new cars and a lot of us have the Used Maximum Care which doesn't have the V12 exclusion!

Ha...sorry for getting the blood pressure up! Thanks for clarifying...I'm in the heat of S600/S65 shopping and would really like to get a good warranty

geneatlts

Philly Single, I too am in the market for an S65. Found a nice 07 with 29k miles for 89,000 still under warranty. MB extended for another 2 years is 3450.

You looking in the Philly area too?

Philly Single

Hey...actually, I'm in Mount Laurel, NJ. I thought about an '07, but I travel alot (by train) and only put *maybe* 500mi/mo on a car, I have a hard time justifying the extra cost of an '07...even thought I love the new body style :/ $89k seems like a deal, haven't seen many advertised under $90k

Right now I'm really leaning towards a low mile 2006 S65...but would have to travel to get the car. If that doesn't work out, a friend (actually here on the board too) is selling an '03 S600 here in NJ.

Small world. I live in Mt. Laurel too. Thanks for the info. I just found a very low mileage 09 S63 designo (only way to buy that car IMHO) that I am negotiating on (instead of the S65). The thunderous roar of the engine and shear fun factor is a wonderful contrast to my S600. As an evey day car, give serious consideration to the S600. Its the finest car in the world and you will grow to love it more and more all the time. It will become a part of you.

Philly Single

Ha, small world indeed! I see you've talked yourself into an '09 S63! I bet that big horsepower N/A motor is a wild ride. I'm a turbo guy...Supra, Lexus...all turbo, haven't got around to sneaking one onto the wife's Navigator

The S600 is a serious consideration, but since I rarely drive...I really want the "holy crap" factor to be pretty high. And the AMG S65 keeps tugging at me, even though the S600 is no slouch in the performance catagory either. I am hoping to have my purchase wrapped up within a month.

We should grab coffee or something sometime, would love to see the S63

Hey Jay, not to be off topic, but I used to work in Mt Laurel. If you guys get together, give me a holler via PM. I'm up 295 a bit.

DJE55

I know this is an old thread but what did you guys end up buying? Have you had good luck using it or have you run into problems getting services paid for? Let me know.

Mr.Benzo

I work at an MB dealer in Nova, and + 1 to that. Easy Care and Warrantech are the two best aftermarket warranties .

Becks Imports

I'd add Zurich, NAC, and Fidelity to that list. Those five are the top tier of companies in the USA.

Wynns is not bad either.

JD Power did a survey a few years back of the top companies based on claims-paying reputation. Fidelity was #1, NAC #7, Wynns #13 or #14 I think out of 100+ companies.
