I just paid for a 3 year Mercedes warranty for $2,590. My local dealer was going to charge me $2,590 for 2 years. The 2 year warranty from Lisa on a SL500 would cost $2,190.

Suspicious

Sounds fishy to me. I will ask my dealer about pricing and this scenario and see their response to it and let everyone know.

For you non believers. Please go to MBUSA web site and look up this dealership. Please call the number that is listed on the web site and verify yourself. Ask for Lisa Lehrbaum. She is the finance girl.

I just purchased an 3 year official MB warranty.

What does the extended warranty cover? I'll probably keep the car for 6-7 years, a 3-year extended warranty would definitely be desirable. (Never keep a German car after warranty, learned my lesson.) Is there anything in the original 4/50k warranty that's not included in the extended?

There is a warranty plan that you can purchase after the first 12 months of ownership, You will pay a lot more for the warranty, and it will cover the radio and command. I do not know if it a Mercedes warranty.

The MB standard extended warranty that can only be purchase within the first 12 moths of ownership does not cover the command and radio.

Just give the number that is posted a call and ask her.

Bad move? I disagree. What's wrong about protecting your $100k investment? What kind of car can you get for 2k or 3k that you'd feel safe in or that isn't going to require at least that much in maintenace cost to keep it running? How safe will it be? If you're going to keep your Benz beyond the standard warranty period, then you need an extended warranty if only for peace of mind. You don't want to be caught in the dealership without a warranty. That would be the bad move.

Not a bad deal Tiggerfink; however I would recommend, in the future, that you bargain that in as part of the initial deal.

When I bought mine we negotiated the price on the car - and then the price on the warranty. I got my 3/50,000 extension for $1800.00. Most dealers have the ability to negotiate just about any price for that warranty - if they refuse to deal it's because they want a bigger profit on the warranty itself.

too many to list
extended warranty is somthing no one should be without its like an insurance policy you know somthing might never happen but if somthing major happens be sure that its going to cost you more than that $3000 you spent on the warranty so its always good to get it

Gunther got the best deal that I herd. It is hard to get less than list in my small market. I got only a $1,000 off list on my SL500.
