Just wanted to put it out there that Bruce helped me get a great extended warranty for my 03 E55. He was very patient with all my questions and explained everything related to warranties very well. He knows what kind of coverage these cars need and wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction.

I've got a great warranty that covers just about everything on the car for a good price. Hopefully nothing goes wrong with my ride but if something does happen, I know I will be well covered.

Later!

Bet that was cheap

Becks here in Atlanta?

avinator

No, we did everything over the phone and via email. And no it was not cheap but i would have been very leery of signing up for any warranty program for an amg car that was cheap

AMG LOL

Warranty on an 03? Which company did you go with?

BBBSS

My understanding is you can warranty an 03 and 04 still, but it will not be an exclusionary warranty.

Meaning instead of everything EXCEPT this that and the other being covered, it will cover only the items it lists as covered. Someone correct me if I worded that badly.

sorry to hi jack.... but I have a platinum exclusionary warranty and everytime I bring my car in they deny the claim stating that it is a wear and tear item or a previous condition... can they do that?

avinator

The warranty I purchased is an exclusionary warranty. It is bumper to bumper. I had to have my car inspected by an ASE certified mechanic in order to determine if there were any pre-existing issues.

We will see how well it works when I try to use it.

Curious

Did you purchase fidelity plan? What company did you go with?

avinator

I purchased the Fidelity Platinum plan. So far I have not used it.

I do have some issues with my car but unfortunately they are not bad enough for the warranty company to do anything about.

Leaking valve cover gasket - its "sweating" not leaking. A leak is when you have accumulation under the car.

An issue with the door sensors but its not something that can be pinpointed so no repair can be done on it.

Park assist is not working but nothing associated with the "collision avoidance system" is warrantied. Don't remember seeing that in the warranty terms.

Not sure if this helps you but that's my story so far.

What length/mileage did you get?

Care to share the price?

avinator

My car had 52k on the odo when I purchased the warranty. It is a 3yr / 36k warranty. In regards to price, it wasn't cheap. Hit up Bruce and he will give you a quote. He's very responsive.

Is it you that telling yourself that Fidelity wont fix these minor issues or u asked them? Did u get the car thru Bruce too? I am curious to know if you warranty was less than $4K? PM me please as I plan to purchase one through Bruce. Thanx bro

I recently purchased my extended warranty through Bruce after my factory warranty expired. For me it was peace of mind.

avinator

In regards to the repairs, I took the car to a shop and they spoke with the warranty people. The valve cover gasket, that answer was from the warranty company. The electrical issue, that was more he shop telling me that they didn't have enough info to say a part was bad. So there was no use in involving the warranty company. The park assist issue, again that was the warranty company.

I did not get the car through Bruce. He did tell me about the process involved with him finding a car for me and I don't think you could go wrong buying one through him.

That happened to me on another warranty co I used hat cost close to $5k. End of the day when they didn't cover, I cancelled within 3 months and got 95% of my money back.

I spoke to Bruce and he quoted me about $7K for a warranty on a 2003-2006 and he also said most warranty companies either increased their price for them or they dont even cover these AMG cars anymore. I refuse to pay $7k for a car thas worth roughly triple that ($21K). I got a dilemna now as I am in the final stages of buying an E55. Warranty or not warranty, that is the quesion lol

Call Costco.

efiftyfizzle

They'll be just as high...

ehaze

Purchased my warranty from them a couple months ago.
Cost was roughly 3k.

How hard is it to make a phone call?

sok454

As of march 1st costco does not write AMG. I just spoke with them.

They do write M class for BMW.
