Objectionable

Just bought my '05 a few weeks ago. It had 28K mikes and so some left on the original warranty. It was a CPO car so I've got additional warranty with this program too. Totaled together it's about two years on the car. MB is offering another two years, up to 100K for $4,000.00.

I'm going to see if they will knock off some $$, but it seems like a reasonable buy even if they don't.

Comments appreciated.

I would add the warranty if you plan on keeping the car. You might want to negotiate on the price though.

So 4 years total and 72,000 miles. I would not think twice, that sounds good even at $4K.

Make sure they cover everything the original warranty covers or at least give you a detailed list of what they cover. I bought a top-of-the-line aftermarket warranty from a third party for $3100 and even with that they try to wiggle out of covering a lot of things.

I think OP meant the additional warranty that CPO cars could only have. By default, it just adds 1 yr & 100K (so total since new would be 5yr/100k). And you could purchase another 2 yrs (so total since new would be 7yr/100k).

OP: Are you sure you still have 2 yrs left even w/o purchasing the additional 2 years? Yours is '05... that latest one would likely be around June-July 05. Unless it was a left-over that didn't get sold until mid 2006 or a demo car that were not punched until it got sold a year later, your original warranty would likely expire in 1-2 months. Add 1 yr. of default CPO warranty, that's only 1yr & 1-2 months.

Anyway.... not sure where you live... but when searching for a GL, I came across MB of Holloway in NH. On the GL page that I was interested in, they said: "Add 2-yr extended warranty for only $2595!!!". I assume it's from MB directly, not aftermarket warranty.

So 2 things you may want to try:
- Negotiate w/ your dealer to give the 2-yr extra warranty for $2595.
- Check w/ MBUSA whether you could purchase the 2-yr extra warranty from another dealer. If so, get one from MB of Holloway for $2595.

If this works, give me 50% of the saving.... LOL... j/k.

I negotiated my warranty price along with the car. There was no way I was walking off that lot without a extended warranty. Keep working on it and I'm sure you'll eventually get what you want and if you don't pay the 4k for piece of mind.

Did you purchase this car from MB stealership?...Having additional warranty add on is the best way to go...You can always bargain to get the better deal...

I also purchased my MB r350 from dealer and got what left of warranty and one more year of CPO. They offer me additional 1 or 2 yrs of CPO. Funny thing is first coverage cost $3858 but they said let make deal and sell for $3458 for two years. I was checking all options, wondering if CPO cars, additional CPO warranty is not a big scam to make money again from cars has been already sold (BTW do you know if price on KBB for your car will be listed as $34K dealer will buy your car for $24K and use as CPO).

Any way long story short I have decided to not buy additional warranty since I’m repairing all my cars. I deal with on board computer and electronics, code clearing and I don’t see any additional value in that. I think this is Mercedes not Daewoo. It means to perform not break every time I hit freeway!!! If will be like that I will buy Daewoo since product outcome will be the sameJ
