Thanks Guys now I pray she does not break to soon Check book needs to recover. LOL

Just curious, but how much did you pay?

Reddog24k

26k with all the bs for the car. and Usaa offered a 12 month 12k warranty for 3300.00 with 90k on the clock tell me I did not get robbed it was the cheapest one I could find online with all of the proper documentation and service records that were up and current.

Here is a question for you Veterans of the S65 is there a specific Bluetooth puck I need to buy or will any of the Ebay ones for 120 bucks work?

amstel78

On the contrary. I think you did pretty well. I paid 27k for my 2006 S65 with 54k on the clock a month ago. No warranty however and I already had to put $1500 in parts into it. Again, congrats on the purchase. Enjoy!

Nice! I love the 220 and 221.. I have to say I like the 220 a hair bit more but technology and looks wise the 221 wins.. if I could have gotten a blown V8 in the 221 I would have.. 90k isn't bad either but having owned many used cars and car lots I have always gone for cars with practically no miles or a bit over 100, like 120-130.. the reason why? In my case 50-100k is when everything goes to hell.. that may just be my luck though.. I think you did great though because of that warranty.. you need to read the fine print and make sure it's an exclusionary warranty though.. if it's good that's awesome! Most places won't warranty a S600/65 and if so want a huge amount.

The warranty is thru assurant via USAA my merc dealer says they are the best, and it has a 60 day cancellation clause that gives a full refund. Then it is prorated after that if I cancel it. I am a wrench guy so I don't mind the work for repairs. But I did my homework on this car pump was replaced at 50k the coils have been done 2 times and all schedualed maintence was done. So I felt I was safer with a higher mileage car that had a solid history. Fingers crossed. I figure if I can keep 2500 in the car kitty. I should be able to handled most parts prices as long as it does not blow up all at one time.

nice pickup!! if ya need any mods let me know and i can hook ya up

Sounds great but I did a lot of time researching my warranty on my 2010 S550 and you really should make sure it's an exclusionary policy otherwise they usually don't cover much.. if it is your fine.. you need to read the fine print though so you don't throw away a few grand on a warranty that will deny everything.. my uncle lost $2500 that way on his E class.. other than that I think you did great.. I don't even consider it a high mileage car.. 90k is great! 150k is high mileage!

Great deal, great car, great color (ok so I'm biased of course as I think I have the same color or close) and good on you that you got the warranty. You did GREAT! These cars new cost.... well, you know. A crazy amount of dough.

SO NICE!!!!

Congrats JC!

Not sure if you're a beer drinker but maybe sometime this summer we could meet up at FullSteam brewing. I would like to get some others around the area to do something like this.

Reddog24k

I may not be a Smart Man but I do know what being stuck feels like.😀
The title page has the correct vin and description on it. I have read the what's covered and what's not covered portion of the warranty.

Please elaborate on the exclusionary portion in which you speak. Break it down in 2 year old speak. Lol

Thanks

I have USAA warranty on my 2007 CL600 they are GREAT company! I've never had any issues with getting repairs done. They have replace both my turbos & ABC system!!!

Reddog24k

Now that's what I am talking about. Thanks

Reddog24k

Vinny,

I am game why wait till summer. I live just south of Raleigh in Garner. 9197717579. Give me call. Thanks.

amstel78

You guys are lucky to be down south. No snow.

The USAA assurant warranty is an exclusionary warranty. It covers almost everything except maintenance, wear items and some emissions stuff.

Welcome to the club!
I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do. My wife thinks I am completely crazy because of how awesome I think the S65 really is.
Had my ECU tuned last year and I will be deleting the mufflers hopefully this week.
Have fun!

well lets hope hope so the alternator chit the bed this am.

Reddog24k

Who did your tune? And an audio file of the muffler delete would be awesome. I would love a bit more rumble. I just don't want to do it at the expense of a loud drone.
