It's all about the "exclusions"...
One of the most expensive failures on this car is the AirMatic suspension. Make SURE that it's covered. Some companies call the AirMatic a "shock" so it's excluded, other companies call it a "spring" since it's weight-bearing.
If the warranty excludes all of the pricey component failures, it's not very useful.
I'm curious to hear what sort of quotes you're getting these days. These cars are getting old enough now that finding companies willing to write a warranty on them at all has got to be shrinking fast...!
