By the way, if anyone is interested in a extended warranty from Mercedes Benz.
They are offereing this warranty at a reduced price of 15%.
They will have this special through September if you are interested.

Any other details about which years this covers, limitations, etc?

Is this for MBZ cars still under a factory warranty, or is this a viable alternative to the 3rd party warranty companies out there now?

GregMB,
I'm getting this information second hand, from a friend. I just thought that I would share the information. So, I can't answer your questions. I would give your dealership a call, sorry.

Motivated finance people at some dealerships will sell them for a LOT less than 15% already. But it's good that MBUSA is offering a new incentive to the dealerships to sell them for 15% off MSRP. Although if you buy one at the time you buy a new car, you get the 15% off anyway. So it sounds like they just dropped the 15% surcharge that they were charging for people buying it later.

But if the dealers are now getting rebated 15% by MBUSA when selling the warranty products, then maybe the already discounted prices from certain dealers will even get lower.

220S,

Truthfully, your probably right.

What's the name of the guy who cuts the good deals? I've seen the name a few times on the forum here before.

Not sure if this applies to everywhere, but when I picked my CPO e63 up last week the finance guy mentioned that it would go up 15% at the end of the September and that if we waited more than 30 days from the purchase date, we wouldn't get 15% off and have to pay full price.

Sounds like the discount is for purchases, but that may vary from dealer to dealer.

I have an 06E55 with the CPO expiring in June of 2012. I take it, I would not be able to take advantage of this?

Snooch

I took advantage of it. I would give your dealer a call and try. It's transferable and, at least according to the guy I spoke to, if you trade the car in (even at a non MB dealership) it's refundable as well.

slownrusty

I will definitely need to look into this

Yuille36

I can't see why you couldn't take advantage of this offer.

220S

100% refundable before the original factory warranty is up. After that it's pro rated with any warranty service already used being deducted.

I knew there were extra details Mr Finance Guy was saying that my brain understood at the time, but failed to absorb for later use.

What's the mileage limitation now? My car has 85k mi now and is CPO'd to 100k or March 2013

220S

They bumped it up to 135k miles on the CPO extended warranty starting in Feb 2011. It's still 7 years max.

06E55

So, if my factory warrant has expired (mine is an 06 model) and my CPO warranty, which I extended by an additional year when I purchased the car, is up in June of 2012, I can still extend my warranty? Is this a dealer thing only, or how do I best take advantage of this?
