Hey, Im a new member, and I am in the process of purchasing a 2008 e63. Mercedes will not sell warranties on AMG vehicles (at least in houston). Ive been looking for an after market warranty for some time and I cannot find anyone that is willing to cover AMG and I refuse to buy the car without some sort of warranty.. Any ideas? Recommendations?

 

usaa if you qualify. my 2003 e55 qualified. i plan to pick it up in a month

I know Fidelity Warranty Services gets a bad rap but they have been good to me. The warranty has paid for itself atleast 4 times already.

 

Please share how it qualified.

 

Mine was a waste of money. I never got anything out of it really. The only thing I could possibly gotten was the fuel pump/sender which I took care of myself. Other things considered wear items such as Airmatic are not covered.

 

What are the qualifications for usaa? Do i have to have any sort of military affiliation? Will check out fidelity as well. Thanks for the responses

 

I have the platinum warranty though Fidelity Warranty Services. I havent used it yet. I thought Air suspension was covered??? WOW damn warranties.

 

military affiliation. i qualified because my dad served. also for the e55. 10 years or newer Nd under 115k. i already have a warranty through pensky 3yr/36k but it doesnt cover airshocks or the super charger and some other things. but the usaa covers all. so i plan to get that for a short term and have them replace the stuff mine doesnt cover. maybe i'll go for a 1yr/12k or something

That's good to hear that USAA seems legit. Will have to look into it.

 

It is covered under the platnium warranty

 

I have them as well, if you dont mind me asking what kind of work have you had done? I have yet to use them

 

I have had my rear seals replaced, they were leaking, alternator, front sway bar, i just needed the bushing but Mercedes don't sell just the bushing you have to buy the whole front sway bar, front passenger airmatic strut, head gasket leak, and my go/start button stop working for some reason. got all work done at the stealership with only paying 100 deductible.

 

how much does this warranty cost? where can u purchase them?

 

Wow, that's great that it paid that. Thanks for ur feedback.

 

I got my NAC pinnacle plan from a guy i met online.
1-800-548-1875 and ask for local agents.
Get more than one and shop them against each other.

Airmatic COVERED .. Fixed mine 3 months ago at dealership. Didnt cover the resulting alignment though (1600 bill cost me 250). Fixed engine mounts, intake manifold gasket n bolts, and front control arms.
I highly recommend. If you can still get it for a good price.
Shop all the companies too.. 2 yrs ago i saw quotes from $3-4k all the way up to 15,000$ for a warranty (the 15,000$ was for fidelity from MB dealer of course).

My .02 is that if you can get it for under $5000 with 4 years or more of coverage, it is definitely worth it...(if you do not do the big work yourself, like me)

 

I have one, covers everything(minus air shocks) but everything else in the airmatic system. I've had it pay for a ball joint, cooling pump, alternator... no deductible, I only pay the tax on parts.

I think the name of it is Preferred Warranties or something? I cant remember

 

If your in houston I know a good Indy shop that works on our amg they do all the work plus performace work I did all my performance mods here highly recomended they can also tune your car place is called m power houston ask for Ted

 

well i went to the dealer to cancel my penske warranty that i bought through them and change to usaa. funny thing is a couple months after i bought my warranty, they switched to united auto care and their platinum plan beat the usaa plan, it was about 900 more but what swayed me was the usaa is a what is covered plan and the united platinum plan is a what is not covered which cut down on the questions by clearly stating what is not covered.
