2003 cl55 MB repair bill - Page 2

MrStyle25 · 10-28-2009, 04:59 PM

P.S. Mine is a GMPP Warranty, i didn't know they would cover the car, i've already had a claima nd they went right ahead and paid it tot he dealership.

Also, make sure you get a warranty that lists what is NOT covered, versus what is, there is a big diffrence, if it is not listed as not covered, it is covered.

get a warranty pronto! One repair bill and it will pay for itself (and then some perhaps).

awesome service contract sounds like a better plan than a MBCPO contract.

yeah...they re very nice cars and fun to drive especially around and past Z06's and Chargers and Shelbys or Carreras. But definitely they are expensive to maintain and you gotta have a warranty on it or just don't buy it.
You gotta have it....

Anybody get a warrenty and not have to use it? If so did you get a refund?...Just kidding. I like rolling the dice but I am not a high roller so if there are alot of you out there Help! Still can't make up my mind. Plus have to come up with the extra cash.The wife is like if it breaks you fix it.I told her its not a chevy.Bit off a little more than I could afford.Live and learn.

I've had two warranties on past cars I never used, not to the extent of what I ultimately paid for them, but close enough. Those were also on GM products, not a MB, which costs a $-(-)-;@ more for basic repairs. Get the warranty, most will let you pay out over 12 months, so makes sense to me.

tigerwild · 10-31-2009, 06:12 PM

You're right, I pay premium over 12 months installments, and you gotta have the warranty because unexpected repairs on cl55 will definitely make a deep hole in your pocket.

OK you sold me Which warrenty for 5 yrs the leanth of my car loan? Once the car is paid for I like to modtify the car with the extra cash. I put about only 6000 miles a yr on it.I really plan to keep the car for 10yrs or so. By that time it will be worth a millon because we will be all driving electric or paddle cars.At least that my hope

Actually based on UK prices it's cheap, but the tensioner looks wrong.
Our labor charge is £110 per hour which is 181 dollars an hour, you are being charged about £65 an hour. I had 1 shock done, it was £1100 each plus labor, which is 1815 dollars each. It certainly cheaper that the UK but
might be worth shopping around in your country, or sell it real quick!

I have the GMPP 'Major Guard' plan that covers almost everything! I highly reccommend it. Some dealers sell it online, and it's all based on mileage you have and things like that as far as pricing goes.
