Purchased a 2022 E53 Sedan - Prepaid Maintenance?

I bought a 22 E53 Sedan with only 8k miles on it and love it. Was a perfect build that had an original MSRP of $97k and change. Clean title and no accidents fully serviced at a MB dealer in Santa Barbara which is where the car was sold new. Was planing on buying the remaining prepaid maintenance which would be a 3 year/30k mile plan. Are there any members here that work at a MB dealer that could sell it for a better price or discounted price? The quote I got from a local dealer was $5k. Already extended the factory warranty out to 7yrs. Thanks to all for the help!

You will get better maintenance at lower prices with your own schedule. In my opinion, no factory maintenance intervals are acceptable for any modern engine. specifically the lack of proper oil change interval would be a deal killer for anyone that wants to keep their engine running properly. Those maintenance schedules are meant to kill cars and keep you buying.

If you have a great Indy, go to them for all of the maintenance, and go to Mercedes for any warranty work.

enjoy
