I agree that with all the recent posts about their CSC warranty being canceled even when they purchased it within the SUPPOSE no more contracts for amg date, it is a pain in the *** to trust them. But as I mentioned in some other thread, I purchased my 5yr/75k CSC for 4185 and this was sometime at the end of July. I actually had my first claim 2 weeks ago for the Battery Control Module to be replaced. Besides the fact that my car is modded like hell, the only slight issue I ran into was the difference in quoted labor hours from the MB dealer. My SA was a really cool guy and lowered it a bit and CSC eventually caved and gave in lol. Overall it was around $850. People are seriously crazy to own an amg and not have a reliable warranty, unless you're rich that is lol. Overall still pretty satisfied with the CSC warranty for now. For those in the nyc area, check out Stars Chrysler in queens but im not sure if the price has gone up again since i bought mine

Real time update on Chrysler Factory Warranty
I just had my 02 CL 55AMG in for service last week and here is the most recent experience at the local MBZ dealer.
I had been dealing with a "Check Engine" light for a couple of months (Oxygen sensor so I wasn't in a hurry) and then the car became very difficult to get out of park so I took it in and here is what happened;
Chrysler approved everything to be fixed under my warranty with the $200 deductible. The total invoice was over $1500 and there was no delay in the approval (same day). Actually when I went in to pick up the car the Service adviser told me that he was actually surprised at how easy they approved the claim, even stating that the MBZ factory warranty would likely not have covered the vacuum hoses and o2 module under the MBZ extended warranty. I'm not sure how accurate this is but he was overly complimentary of the Chrysler warranty
To date here is my experience; I paid $2800 for the 3 year warranty in December of 2009 and there have been ~$6500 in payments made to the local MBZ dealer for 2 claims, and I still have 24 months of coverage left. All in all pretty hard to argue with the quality of this warranty if you can get one.........and I was really convinced by comments and recommendations from members on this forum to buy it......Thanks guys

How much have you paid in deductibles? Sounds like you've gotten good coverage. I went with MBPS extended warranty to avoid getting dinged for a bunch of deductibles each time.

I actually give the Service adviser Carte Blanche and tell them to find ANYTHING that they think they can justify to an adjuster after they look at the main issue(s) I bring the car in for. Nothing additional was found this time around but last time they found a leaking rear seal as well as something in the rear end ("U" joints I think). I think of the $200 deductible as the premium I pay to go to the dealer vs. an independent mechanic as my indy will waive the deductible but the dealer is pretty good and gives me a loaner.
Cheers!
