If you've never had to wait for an inspector? That's a little hard to believe, I was over a Cadillac and Saturn store at the same time and my reports always had at least one pending inspection from the Man. warranty (along with the other warranties) When I had a Ford store it was worse with the factory. Almost every diesel had to be inspected to be fixed, they came out and checked for everything from chips to dirty air filters to try and deny claims. Don't mislead people that that never happens. My own brother in Little Rock Arkansas had to sell his diesel F350 because of the trouble and the fact that Ford wouldn't fix the bigger problem and he was weeks in the shop, every single time he took it in because of waiting for inspectors or approval. His wrap warranty (aftermarket) that he had for things other than engine, paid immediately and sent no inspector when he he had compressor go out and had a suspension problem. Thats been over the last three years, and it's pretty indicative of what I seen in the dealership

Maybe sometimes they just see that more than one opinion is needed for a real debate.

I am considering buying a 2003 C240 Mercedes Benz 4matic from a small independent auto dealer. I am not sure to purchase one in the deal and what brands warranties are better than others for MB. Can I buy a MB extended warranty from the same dealer or only what he has to offer?

If he's independent, he won't be able to sell mercedes warranty. Most reputable warranty companies won't do business with a small lot, unless they're really churning out volume. Better off looking elsewhere.
