aftermarket extended warranty for SL

Has anyone bought a good, comprehensive add on warranty for the SL?
I was looking at Fidelity Platinum as it seemed to offer the best coverage for the top mechanisms and the suspension components.
I want something that offers complete coverage and is also transferable.

I bought this same warranty for a 997.2 Porsche TT and it was less that 1/2 of what they are asking for 2007 SL55 coverage!!

The dealers I have talked to will not sell an extended warranty for any MB that is no longer under factory or CPO warranty. Maybe I hit an odd batch of dealers, or is that MB policy?

Luck of the draw, I guess. Can you provide the name of a dealer (and contact if you have one) that will sell me a warranty for an AMG that is out of new car warranty?

Thanks,

I have Assurant Solutions . Payed $3600 for 3 years bumper to bumper thru USAA on my Sl65 amg. I have not used it yet . I have 2 more years left. I will keep you updated. I have called the Insurance directly and they still offer coverage for sl65. Mine is 07 with 40k miles on the clock
