I bought 99 slk230,,great condition in all areas,,,but has 77,000 miles...Any recommendations on getting extended warranty..should I get one and if so,, any companies I can contact? I've always been handy and did my own routine maintenance on other autos I had..Can I expect to do the same with this slk230?

 

If you can find a good total coverage warranty, don't think twice...get it ! Do anything to avoid paying out of pocket to a dealers, better known to many as stealers. These cars are not quality, reliable vehicles. They are HIGH maintenance and higher priced to keep running than to purchase.

 

Unless you are an electronics engineer you better find someone you can turn to. I bought a 99 SLK 230 3 years ago and it has been the biggest car buying mistake of my life!

 

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AFTERMARKET EXTENDED WARRANTIES. THEY DON'T COVER WHAT YOU EXPECT THEM TO COVER AND THEY MAKE EXCUSES NOT TO COVER WHAT YOU THOUGHT THEY WOULD.

If I haven't made myself clear... check with the Mercedes dealer and verify they would accept their warranty coverage for authentic "NEW" MB parts, not salvage, used or reconditioned. You could find that crap yourself at a junk yard.
