My first Mercedes and first post - What is money best spent:
 
The car is a 2007 C280 2WD with about 25,000 miles. Capri blue in very good condition, certified and purchased for my wife.

My question is as follows: With a car such as this and moderate to limited driving what would be a better investment?

1. An extended warranty
2. Front end rock and chip film
3. Overall paint protection application
4. A cover

The car will sit outside in Virginia heat, humidity and pollen. It will not see high mileage. I am a competent mechanic. I will not even think about attempting any type of paint or body repair. We plan to keep the car.

The dealership of course tried to sell us 1,2 and 3. I don't know enough about these cars to determine which of the above would more likely be used and thus save my wallet and the car as well.

These cars are a new experience for us.

Thanks,

Reg Robinson
