Auto Warranty for R230 SL500

I'm considering a new auto warranty for my 2004 Mercedes SL500. Anyone have any experience with WANTED AUTO PROTECT or ROYAL ADMINISTRATION's PVP PLAN? Both quotes are comparable, but I keep reading mixed reviews regarding the paying claims. Need some advice. Help!

I used Royal and was not pleased with their coverages. They loopholed the contract wording when it came to paying a claim. I ended up paying. I transferred to Warrantys.com (Preferred Warranties) with my SL R129, and now with my R230. $0 deductible, and covers everything except routine maintenance, light bulbs, tires, etc. Peace of mind. It is available through MB dealerships.

Is it available for my amount of mileage? I have 80K miles on my 2004. Can It be purchased from any MB dealership?

I know they have different levels of coverage if you check the web site www.warrantys.com

You will have to see if your local dealerships offer this as they are only sold through dealerships. I am located near PA, which is where I purchased mine.
