further warranty

Hello all, I have a 2005 e55 with roughly 45k miles, my warranty will be ending soon and I have an opportunity to extend my warranty to 100k miles for $8000. I was curious to know if this is worth getting, I have yet to have any issues with my car and I feel these are overall very stable machines, I wanted to get feedback from the community on first hand experience with any issues.

I think they are on crack, the extended MB warranty is $4500.00, and some here have negotiated that price lower. (2 yrs / 100K mi)

For $8k I would probably just role the dice by putting the money aside in Savings.

So should I try another dealer to negotiate with and try to get it for cheaper?
What are some of the major concerns with repairs for this car and +50k miles?

I paid $3800 for 3 yrs/75,000 miles for an extended warranty from MB. Granted, my car only has 21,000 miles on it now and its an 2005.

I think you may want to reconsider Chrysler due to the BK. Try Mercury Insurance as well.

Maybe there is some savings in quantity warranty purchases. If you can find a good deal, I would be interesed in it too. Maybe the price is less with more of us buying into it in bulk.

I ended up going with a Fidelity Platinum Warranty. 6yr/60,000 miles with $0 Deductible for $2,363 (2005 SL500 w/ 17,000 miles). It only requires 10% down and then it's 0% for 18 months. The prices are all over the map so you need to shop around. I was originally quoted $2,595 for a 3yr/36,000 at another MB dealer. Here is the info from the MB dealer where I purchased mine.
