I think it breaks even. For $200-250 more, you don't have to pay Mercedes an hour or so for the inspection, plus having the risk of it not passing the inspection for whatever reason.

The other thing is that you won't have to spend time driving to the dealer, leaving your car there, and then picking it up later in the day.

I'll gladly pay $250 more to avoid the whole inspection fiasco.

per Todd at chrysler, in order for you to get a warranty now with them you must get your car inspected at a chrysler dealership. Apparently people were getting warranties issued to them and immediately using them to fix their already broken vehicles. Took my car to a Chrysler service dept. today and they told me to take it to their "prep" building which was closed :rolleyes I will try again next week to get it inspeced which I hope doesn't cost anything, but I'm not holding my breath.

AZIPOD

Wow! Things changed overnight! Now you guys know why I wanted to avoid the inspection and therefore didn't go through Mark Case. It's just a waste of time.

If this is true, its equal to go with Michale Case, his rates are cheaper ONLY if the inspection @ Chrysler is FREE.


If you have to pay Chrystler to have it inspected then Michael Case is the cheaper alternative.

I have the Chrysler warranty on my E55 and want to purchase it for my SL55. But I'm concerned with Chrysler's financial health right now and wonder if they go BK will still honor their aftermarket warranties. According to the media (and who can trust them!) if they do go BK the Federal government will honor new car warranties. Nothing has been mentioned about pre-existing or aftermarket. I think that issue is off the radar. I'm going to hold off until I hear they've merged with Fiat or gone BK. As a retired former fed I wouldn't trust the government to get or do anything right! JMHO

Does Chrysler know how to look over a Mercedes?
I hope they know that there's no dipstick to check the oil!

just to chime in here. i've had the chrysler warranty for 3 months. they just paid about 2400$ for my supercharger clutch/pulley and backing plate replacement, and also to fix cracked heat exchanger hoses. all work was done at a Mercedes dealer......all i am paying is my 100$ deductible.

warranty paid for itself in 1 visit to the dealer.

i did not have to get a pre inspection and you can most def go to a MB dealer and not chrysler. i bought my warrantee directly from chrysler service contracts and they did not need inspection.

AZIPOD

This is great news!

I have yet to come across a review on Chrysler regarding a wrongful denial. They are probably one of the few, if not the only 3rd party warranty company that actually DO PAY claims with no BS.

I've beening reading this thread for awhile now and based on the content went ahead and called Todd @ Chrysler and setup a Maximum Care warranty package for the SL65. Pretty easy process...it's 5yr/70000 mile package with a $200 deductible...no inspection just a check on the VIN for mileage (it is a 2006 with 5000 miles)...for $2300. The comparable Fidelity warranty had no deductible but was going to cost me at the dealership $3800.

$100 down and 12 payments. Todd was easy to talk to and answered all my questions thoroughly. I could have gone with unlimited miles but this is my second weekend car and I only expect at the most 7-8K miles a year (like the E55) I could live with the 70000 miles and a little higher deductible ($200 vs $100) for a lower premium.

Thanks gentlemen for all the info.

AMAZING! Not many companies will underwrite for a 12 cylinder, let alone an AMG 12-cylinder! $2300 just blows my mind! I guess at 5000-mileage, you are at the very first tier for rates.

It seems that Chrysler is the best bet for AMG cars, since they do not differentiate between the AMG models vs regular models as far as rates go, thats where our savings are at.

I had Todd price me a warranty for my 325i, and surprisingly, it is EXACTLY THE SAME PRICE as the E55 Amg. Go figure!

prodigymb

made a good choice. as i said earlier my warranty paid for its self in ONE visit

Does anyone know if Chrysler will warranty a w210 2002 E55 with 50 to 60k miles?

W211 BEAST

Sorry to hijack, but I'm not about to read this entire thing and I dont want to start a new thread for the same thing. I need a warranty for my 2006 E55 and IU want it for as long as possible. Preferribly a very small deductible and I want it for as long as possible/as many miles as possible. I'd also prefer bumper to bumper, or as close as possible.

Any ideas would be awesome as I'd like to get it soon.

Chrysler Maximum Care

Quadcammer

those are new car warranties, not necessarily extended warranties.

That said, I bought a 3 year warranty from Todd. Very nice guy and extremely smooth transaction.

Max.H

Can someone give me Todd's contact number? I am interested in this maximum care package too. Does it matter what state you are in? TIA

LADY_AMG

I asked Michael Case the same question and he told me that Chrysler dealers will not work on AMG vehicles because they don't have certified mechanics to do the work.

AZIPOD

Todd's number is noted a few times in this thread.... I repeated it a few times for other members already and kinda lazy to do it again. =P

AMGfan

Max H...tried to PM you but your box is full.

Chrysler Warranty main #: 1-800-442-2666

On the main menu go with option for new contracts and wait for rep and ask for Todd.

Max.H

I did a semi cleaning of my inbox a few weeks ago. I guess it wasn't enough. I'm going to call this guy and see what this is all about. Thank's AMGfan.

anybody buying a new warranty plan.. please give us the latest update.

I bought my warranty almost 1 month ago and no inspection required.

After reading a few post lately.. there are 2 different stories.

bobgodd

Do you know for fact that your supercharger is covered under the warranty?

Quadcammer

I purchased mine maybe 1.5 weeks ago and no inspection was required.

My local MB dealer is selling the GMPP (GM Protection Plan). Has anyone had any experience with this warranty? It seems like the same level of warranty that Chrysler is offering.

I'm debating between the Chrysler, GM and Fidelity warranty. I'm a little affraid of GM and Chrysler though because of their situation. GM's warranty may be ok if the go belly up because it's backed by GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc., MIC Property and Casualty Insurance Corporation and CIM Insurance Corporation. See quote below from their website.

"Obligations under GM Protection Plans and the Mechanical Repair Protection are covered under policies of insurance issued by member companies of GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc., MIC Property and Casualty Insurance Corporation and CIM Insurance Corporation, respectively."

The SC is covered for sure. It is listed as a covered component on the contract.
