Re: New Mercedes What Are the Costs

A real life example of buying a certified pre owned car when one doesn't rack up a lot of miles.

As cars get more complicated - like computers - one is chained to the manufacturer (or dealer for the mfgr) to maintain these complicated systems. So an extended warranty is needed to contain the costs.

We low mileage drivers don't wear out the car but when something breaks we want some support - MB extended warranty.
