Aftermarket warranty thread/ info for older AMG cars??
I know this may seem like a "beating a dead horse topic"
but... Where can one find a list of some sort of companies that WILL offer warranties on 03-06 AMG model cars?? I've seen threads in different forums regarding the topic somewhat but not a "Sticky" thread and the search button here comes up with stuff from all over the place!! Anywhoo...there's 3 cars on my radar to pick up, 2 of them are 03 S55's with low miles & 1 owner the other is a 05(amount of owners is unknown) but in order for me to pull the trigger on a purchase I've got to find some company to warranty the parts that like to go KABOOM
& leave people with that facial expression when they find out the costs to replace them. I've got a buddy who works at a indy shop & does almost all the work on the AMG's that get serviced there & another buddy, who owns a S55 who's been dealing with his indy for all his Mercedes from the last 20 yrs(highly recommended by him) so my options are open there, I just need a warranty to feel secure. Thanks for any input you guys may have-

Yes this topic has been beaten to death at least every 1-2 months, quick answer: Fidelity
They have covered my 2006 SL65 when I purchased it in 2013 for 50k miles / 4 years, with full coverage. As of now with 27k miles/2 years I have replaced the following, this is a rough estimate with parts and labors for each job)
Both front struts (1200)
ABC Pump (1000)
Front Valve Block (1000)
Engine Mount Replacement (4000)
Both Ignition Coils (2100)
Driver Wheel Bearing (200)
Passenger side Tire rod (50)
Both front wheel bushings (110)
Vacuum Pump (1000)
And I soon have to claim a conductor plate and flex disc replacement. As you can see its almost 11,000 in claims but only paid 3900 for it with mid 30k miles on the car. As you can see ABC wasn't anywhere as pricey as the ingition coils and engine mount job, but this is regular maintenance items.. There might be more on that list but I can't think of them atm.

Thanks V12TTenthusiast for the reply that's awesome! Yeah this topic comes up often but there really isn't a sticky thread with information, options and reviews in one thread (sorta my idea here)**please mods**, and yes Fidelity does come up often but, there different variations ie Fidelity Plus & Fidelity Platinum. My goal here is to cut out the confusion between the sorts, have the option of other companies, and find something that suits my needs all in one thread. Thanks again for the input sir.
