Trust me the good sleep @ night knowing they'll cover it if it does is more than worth it! Plus don't you have Airmatic on your SL600? That sheet fails like clockwork, though the V12 is proving to be rock solid, I have the oil changed every 3500 miles (due to my hard driving)

Did anyone notice that Chrysler Warranty sells at the exact same rate for any model of the Mercedes or BMW for that matter? They don't deferentiate between different MB models, which obviously to us AMG owners is a huge advantage. Other than good claim experience with Chrysler, this explains why a lot of us have the Chrysler warranty because it is so cost effective.
These are excellent plans for AMG or V-12 owners!!!! We're paying the same price as would any other E-class or C-class owners.

Has anyone taken their car to a chrysler/jeep dealership to get it inspected? Here is all my troubles to get this warranty. I have 4 MB dealerships within 20 miles of where I live.
1) My main SA wants $450 to do the inspection, which I told him it was too much 2) Went to another dealership that said they would do it for free but found out they will not complete the inspection without replacing the L&R valve cover gaskets (after waiting 3 hours at the dealership) 3) Went to a SA recommended from this forum and she will not do complete the inspection unless I get the wipers replaced, an alignment, and the main battery replaced (which she said it is over 5 years old and I could be stranded). 4) I am about to get a transmission oil service from a 3rd dealership and that dealership states they will do it for free but I cannot imagine what will be wrong this time. The car has 59,850 miles and if I keep driving to these dealerships and play their games, I will be over 60K and I don't know how much more the warranty will cost. It is just annoying. Why not just follow the checklist and do the inspection. I will be coming back to the dealership when my car has anything that goes wrong and THEN they can make their money! It should be a lot more money than some stupid wiper, alignment, and battery replacement.

Even if nothing ever breaks and I lose money on the deal, I will sleep better knowing it's covered. The inspection is in about an hour at the Mercedes $tealership, so wish me luck.
Also, FWIW, Mike on the phone told me to go to the MB dealer, not a Jeep dealer. He said they only want the inspection done by MB, so I don't know who told the other poster to go to a jeep dealer, but he might want to call back and ask again. So far, Mike & Co. have been great to me.

I am getting a quote if $1885 for a 5/70k miles Used Maximum Care warranty (04 E55 with 59,800 miles). The plan does state the years start from the date of warranty purchase. The finance option requires a $160 administration fee. I need to get an inspection (which has been an nightmare for me).
I spoke with Michael and confirmed that yes, on cars out of warranty, the coverage extends 5 years from the service contract date, and 70000 miles from my current mileage.
I'm getting an inspection next week. Just need to decide which deductible to choose-- at those prices, it looks like the 7th visit under the $200 deductible plan would start to cost more overall than the $100 plan, not accounting for the time value of money. So, the question becomes whether I will end up with 7 or more visits during the 5 years...

so did I get it right that a car don't need an inspection if you are buying warranty while a car is still on factory warranty. Sorry, two pages with people are giving different information every time.

Michael told me, since my car was still under the factory warranty and has less than 48,000 miles. I would not need the inspection. He still has not sent me the estimate though. He also stated the warranty date and mileage would start the date of purchase of the warranty.

If you're still within factory warranty, no inspection required. If you're one of us whose warranty has expired, then they require an inspection. The price of the warranty also more than doubles, so make sure you get in before the end of your warranty, as you'll save thousands.
FWIW, the MB dealer says their standard book pricing for a warranty inspection is 1.5 hours, and they are charging me $185 for it, and gave me a loaner car. They got backlogged and I actually got to keep the loaner on the weekend, which is great since I had to take a road trip and get to put the miles on theirs. Make my $185 back. Hehehe.

My car has just a tick over 60k miles, and is currently under CPO warranty. Does that apply as under factory warranty still?

I dunno, you better call and ask Mike. CPO may qualify as factory warranty, but I'm not sure. I didn't ask.

Alright, I'm done, warranty bought. Went smooth as silk.
The MB $tealership actually got swamped and it took them forever to get to my car, so I even got to keep their loaner for almost a week and use it for a road trip. I figure I more than made back the money the inspection cost me. Hehehe.
Mike at CSC is great, definitely a for him. Good pricing too, I got quoted like $5k+ for the same warranty awhile back from local dealer.

Just talked to Mike today and he said they prefer that the inspection be done at a Chrysler/Jeep dealership. So I called around and found one that did the inspection for $85 in Orange County. Sure enough the inspection was done without any issues with the car. Bottom line is that the inspection does not need to be done at a MB dealership.

Anyway, I feel pretty secure with it. Fiat is a gigantic company, and Chrysler itself is in pretty good shape now that they got rid of all their debt and got $15.5bil from the government. So anyway, I think we're ok.

For my 05 E55 with 37xxx miles and out of factory warranty, I received a quote of $2985 for Max Care 70000/5yr with a $100 deductible, or $2335 with a $200 deductible.
