#1773 of 1986 Extended Warranty price on 2009 E-350 by new_to_e

Jun 17, 2012 (1:57 pm)

I'm considering purchasing my first Mercedes (used) at a local dealer. I'm happy with the price at about $27,800 with 42K miles. But it is not certified pre-owned, and is being sold as-is. It has two new front tires (one is Michelin the other is a Pilot SS I think). It looks like it could use 2 new rear tires. I usually keep my vehicles for a long time.
 
I'm concerned about the extended warranty price I was quoted of $4,400 for an add'l 48,000 miles. It has less than two months original factory warranty left. Does anyone know what a reasonable price might be for an extended warranty? Is that the same as being certified? Thank you for tolerating my ignorant questions.

Extended warranty on 2009 Mercedes
 
I would not buy that particular car. Whenever there are two different tires on the front end of a car being sold by a dealer, it means the car has not been properly maintained. Also, the price is way over what I would pay for a car with 48,000 miles and an E350. I truly believe you are looking for trouble if you buy a car sold as is. If the dealer is a Mercedes dealership, they usually don't sell cars without extended warranties if the are reputable. Be very cautious!

I agree with the other post. I would not buy that car. Repairs on MB are very costly and not being a certified car with the tires as you mentioned can be an issue.

I am going to assume you are getting a conquest incentive ($4000 or so). Yes, that is an excellent price for a 60K car.
 
Good Luck!

I wouldn't worry much about even 100 miles on a new car. It's likely that the car was used for some test drives....and test drives really don't tax the car very much at all. As long as it's sold/registered as a new car with the full warranty (less that 100 miles, I guess), I wouldn't sweat it at all if I was getting a great deal on the car I wanted.

For a 2009 E350 with over 40,000 miles on it, and considering it is the old body style with old technology, you should not pay more than $25,000 including that it is certified by Mercedes and has 4 low mileage tires that are the same brand and size. Remember that the car is 4+ years old. I sold my 2009 E 350 sport with 7000 miles on it in January of 2010 and got $39,000 for it. They had $6000 rebates on those 2009 cars because of the body, transmission and technology upgrades. Most people bought those cars new for $43000 back in April of 2009. So you have to take that into consideration as well!

If anyone can suggest on negociating on the CPO prices at the dealer , that will help as well.
 
Currently the best price I have seen is $41000 for 2010 with 38k miles.
