Extended Warranty 4yr/48K $5000
Hi All,
I'm a newbie to this e55 forum. I have a 04 e55 with 38,000 miles. Is it worth buy a fidelity warranty for $5000 dollars? It will extend the warranty for 4 yrs. and cover the car around 86,000 miles.
I had a mercedes clk previously so I'm aware of potential maintenance cost but wanted to know what other e55 owners thought.
I did do a search but it seems like most people had the mb warranty still at this low of miles.
Forgot to mention it's a platinum plan.
Thanks,
Kevin

um, assuming you dont drive more than 12000 miles per year, you are essentially paying $100 a month for 4 years to prevent the inevitable...
chances are that you will far-exceed $5000 worth of warranty related work over that time-period.
i dont see why that is a difficult decision to make..

Warranty is a must on an AMG. Parts and labor are expensive for this platform, and it is very possible that you may acquire $5000 in repair costs over the next 4 years.

If you are talking about maintenance like failed components such as fuel pumps, transmission, air suspension; yes this fidelity platinum plan covers items like that.

Hi All,
I ended up getting the fidelity warranty for $4500. $250 deductable, 4 years 48000 miles. The dealer told me I couldn't get the platinum warranty because my car was no longer under a warranty coverage. Parts will be mercedes oem parts.
I'm not sure if this a deal or not but this one was one of the warranties that the dealer uses and has had experience with.
