Extended Warranty
 

I was reluctant to buy the extended warranty as I thought it would be a total rip off. I spoke to Bruce at Becks Imports and ge really guided me through the process. I ended up buying the warranty from Bruce and all I can say is THank yoy Bruce!!!!

I have had the car since last April. So far I am over $5k on repairs. Total out of pocket is $400.

I just picked the car up 30 mins ago. Work completed this time around under warranty- valve cover gaskets leaking, trans seal leaking, ac compressor replaced, air matic suspensoon pump replaced. Need I say more. If your on the fence dont be. 2 trips to the stealership will equal the investment on the warranty.

Thanks again Bruce

Would you please PM me his contact information. Thanks

He is on the forum s all the time. Google Beck Imports. Let me know if you have trouble. Tell him Gus sent you

Yes extended warranties are a MUST with this car. I have a CNA one and it's already covered nearly $10K in repairs over the past 3 years. Out of pocket for me has been around $800 (some stuff they don't cover.)

One of the reason's I recommend buying your next MB/AMG at Carmax (I don't work for them) as they offer CNA warranties which you can't buy aftermarket. For the price you pay for the warranty and the resulting covering you recieve, they're the best in the biz!

My $.02.

total out of pocket is warranty price + $400 right?

your warranty didn't cost $400 did it? that's not the quote I got! :D

Warranty price is a given.

true, but it's good to keep track of that base price to see when you break even...

I've had the same experience with my GMC Denali - we got the warranty because these big SUV's really get beat down - just the transfer case alone was $5k in repairs and thankfully covered by the warranty :)

nice thing is that warranty only cost us $2.5k - so we had it paid off in spades ;)

The EW is NAC And it is purchased from Bruce at Beck Imports.

he has VERY good pricing - glad it's working well for you, I haven't heard a bad story about NAC - so it's solid!

My CPO warranty run out in June 2012. MB FO is asking $3,500 for a 3 yr 36K miles extended warranty from a company call National. Is this a good price or insurance company to deal with?

that seems pretty cheap - but most likely because you're still on CPO

That is most likely NAC. NAC = National Auto Care Same warranty company that Becks sells, but probably at a higher price.

FWIW, I bought my NAC Platinum warranty for $2k. 4 years, 50k, $50 ded.

I have a S55 AMG 2001 and it as 102000 miles, do you think they can give me a warranty for that? let me know or give me their info and see if they can give me.

Wow! You got a smoken deal.

No joke! I want on that!

I have 06 cls 55 for 2.5 years 25,000 dollars in repairs. New trans, seat, window motor, sub frame ,2 sets of mounts trans and engine ,gaskets,tie rods,2 airshocks,

Intercooler pump and lots more. All covered 100 deductible .price was 2700 dollars including nav for 4 years or 40000 miles I believe. Company name E something. This is number to company not broker.don't tell them I sent you lol. They will not cover you lol best contract I ever signed.877-838-3322. I got from extended car warranty but they are brokers . If u can get this company they covered so much already

all sorts of different prices in here... what's the average price on the platinum warranties?

I'm seeing everything from $2-7K! that's a HUGE range!

I got mine through my credit union. Remember, they are member owned, so there really isn't much of a markup on the product, unlike dealers.

They also offered me a 4/50 EW on my RX330 for $1k.

anyone here use National Warranty Company?

GLima, thanks for the reco. You're making out like a bandit. What's amazing is that you are already 'in the black' and you still have YEARS to go on your plan!

A few things:

1. NWC is ok, but I'd recommend them more for domestic/asian cars. You might run into problems where they want to send in 3rd part parts, or only allow for book rate which is less than dealer in most cases. They're not a bad outfit, but would not be my first choice for MB where you havwe to go to the dealer a lot.

2. Plan prices DO vary widely. They are based on year of car, model, miles. Risk ratings go from A1 all the way through E6, which are 30 different categories of pricing. then the plan you want, and the term, add another set of pricing variables!

3. WPOZZ, I'd like to see more detail on what you got. NAC does not have Platinum it's called Pinnacle, and the prices you quote are well below cost. Sometimes a dealer that gets physical pricing, which is lower than internet pricing (since internet cars carry more risk), will sell it cheaper and I can't compete. But the risk is they are violating their agreement and the plan could be voided in the future. Although that is a small risk. I would guess your cars were also very low miles.

4. I quote at 12.9% over my cost, and I lose 2.9% to the CC company for processing master/visa payment by phone without the card or customer being present at time of sale. And since I am here for help AFTER the sale, and I have helped out a lot of people over time, that's the lowest margin I can work on.

If anyone needs a quote, please email me car VIN# and odometer reading to brucem105@comcast.net. Prices just went up on January 1st, and model year eligibility for Pinnacle plan is now 2005 as the oldest. But I do have a couple of paper contracts I can still sneak in.

Thanks!

I inquired about an extended warranty for my AMG and the Vice president operations reply with "AMG model is not eligible for coverage under our plan" and they do not market directly to consumers.

Do these extended warranties work for California residents that own an E55? The reason I ask is b/c almost all I've contacted do not offer it.

the dealer offered it to me, it's what they use all the time... it's a $500 adder for AMG

I just checked and it was actually $2145.
