Hi,
As the tittle implies, does anyone have any information/experience with the Mercedes Benz new car extended warranty? We just took delivery of a new E 450 4matic. The dealership is offering what I consider is a good price for the extended warranty, ad since we tend to keep our cars a long time I think it may be worth buying. I had a bad experience with extended warranty on a new Cayman S but it was a third party warranty. This is one is actually offered by MB. I just want to know if someone here ever had to make use of it and what that experience was like. Thanks, Bill. |

Change your oil yourself, and it will be less than the dealer, I do all my service work, on all my cars.
My 2008 ML320 CDI held 10 quarts of oil, I spent close to $200 in oil and filters alone. Part of the reason I traded it in. Besides that it would leak oil out of every seal it had. Messy vehicle. The new Replacement 2013 BMW X5M it is a lot less to do the service work on it. I did a spreadsheet on the replacement parts costs, and then factored in the mileage I like to travel and the purchase price of the vehicles. In the end the X5M was less cost to operate than the ML. If you don't work on your cars, then get the warranty. I like tools and if I figured the cost of special tools, I might be better off going to a good indy shop. |
