about to buy e55 wagon. mb platinum warranty
I'm going up this weekend to check out an 2005 e55 wagon that is out of warranty with 65k miles. So I called up a local dealership to check out their rates for extended warranty. Warranty is offered through a company called JM & A and covers everything except for maintenance and normal wear and tear.
Here are the options :
$100 deductible -
1 year $4132
2 years $5572
3 years $5903
4 years $7649
$250 deductible -
1 year $3853
2 years $5272
3 years $5603
4 years $7349
Does this seem ridiculous or on par with others? I know Chrystler used to offer much better deals but from what I've read they don't offer them for the e55 anymore, is this correct? What are my other options?
I'm a bit tentative purchasing and AMG car with such high miles without some security. Is that the risk I take or is it more likely that I will run into some issues and the warranty will prove worth it? Please help.

The reason I think this is a Fidelity warranty is because I have what is identified as a Platinum Plus warranty that was sold through Mercedes benz Honolulu. Looking at my invoice from yesterday, there is a CJMA coding on the repairs that are covered under the warranty.

Call around for better quotes.
I would not pay 6k for a 3/36 warranty. Nor would I buy a 05 E55 without any warranty.
Fidelity has been good to me and others but I didnt pay that amount. 6/72 policy on my RS6 was 3400 dollars.

I believe JM&A is Fidelity Warranty Services. At first I was apprehensive of them from the reviews on the internet, but I had to take my E55 in this past week for some work and they were very fair. This is the thread I started. https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-services.html

From my Audi dealer before the factory warranty ran out. 2008
Did you search the past threads here on warranty purchases? Start calling different Chrysler dealers to see what they offer. I dont know your location but you could call Autoscope in Dallas for a aftermarket quote. Good guys and talk to Steve. They have a great rep.

2019 E-450 Wagon
I bought a third party warranty: Easy-Care's "Total Care" package at the MB dealer.
Paid $3,000.00 and change for 3/36 with $250 D.
(Not AMG, 2004 E-500 Wagon, 4matic, 72,000 miles, one year ago.)
The catch was an inspection and repairs before the dealer could or would write the policy...The repairs cost me another $3,000.00 but what the heck, I bought the wagon for $3 to $4K below blue book anyways..
Got the extended warranty money back: A repair bill this summer was $4,8K at the MB dealer.
Don't leave home without a warranty.
(Or rather health insurance for your car)
