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. |

Wifey has had an R, 2 MLs, 1 GLE (current) over the last 20 years, we keep our cars till about 80-100k miles,. Big costs have always been wear items, in particular the brakes. We typically go to the dealer, but they’ve gone from +/- $300 oil changes to my last at well over $600. Obviously we’ll be looking for an alternative next time. Only car that had issues was one of the MLs at 80k miles, had the self adjust leveling suspension, front shocks started leaking and dealer quoted $4800 to replace. We traded in for a new one...
Had the GLE for 3 years now, at 60k miles we’ve done rear brakes 2x and fronts 1x. Weird cause my Audi is the same way, rears wear 2x as fast??? all times dealer only wanted to replace rotors and pads, even though rotors were still in spec. Dealer estimate, 1200 per axle, I did pads myself. Bottom line, unless the extended warranty includes these wear items, based on my experience, they are pretty soundly built cars. |

I had to change the rear pads out at 25k miles when the fronts were like new... Found out it was because of this and turned it off... Haven't noticed a difference with it off vs on and the pads are going strong... |
