Cancel Aftermarket warranty??
Paid $5k for 4yr/48k miles on my car Dec 2011 when i purchased it. Had the leaky fuel sending unit replaced and not covered under warranty. Just called them and said airmatic is not covered as well. So i guess when i do get the airmatic failure Arnott struts are the way to go.
At this point (7months), is it better for me to get my $5k prorated refunded to me and have a nestegg for future repairs??

I don't know what you did to your car so maybe for YOU it was worth it...but for me it's not.

For $5K you should get fully cover. Seriously I would cancel it... I paid the Chrysler ext. warranty for $3K and few weeks later went to dealer and claim for the valve gasket and they didn't want to pay it. Sometime, you need luck ! $5K is a lot of money to spend to fix your car !

I'm going to contact the finance dept at the dealer and cancel the warranty. Since its only 7months, i should get close to $4k back and put that away for future repairs. What repairs i cant DIY, i will take to the indy near me for it.

After owning a transmission shop in seattle for 25 years i have heard it all when it comes to after market warranty's. When the transmission goes out in your benz or any other car with these warranty's, if they feel the part's bill is to much they will ship us a used trans because your paper work says (of like kind) which allows them to replace yours with a used trans.......be careful.

What work did you get done and they covered? I took it in for leaky valve cover gaskets, leaking windshield tank reservoir, fuel sending unit. They only covered the valve cover. The fuel sending unit they considered a fuel filter and not covered. Neither were the gaskets for the windshield reservoir.
But they do cover road hazard for tires w/ no deductible.

Not sure if this helps but been without warranty for years and years and no problems.
Always a crap shoot on that engine and tranny.
One piston and it pays for itself. One tranny pop and it pays for itself
