I emailed a friend of mine who is a part-owner of a Mercedes dealership. The best quality extended warranty you can get, I suspect, is a factory (or factory-sponsored) one. When the car is out of warranty, hopefully you can get one that is allowed for "service drive" sales, meaning the dealership can sell you the warranty without having sold you the car or inspecting it. They usually have a 30 day and 1,000 mile "blackout" period where claims won't be honored.

I'll let you know if MBZ sells such coverage. It won't be cheap, although I'm sure the markup should be reasonable. How many miles per year do you plan on driving the car for the next few years? How many years of coverage would you want at the maximum?
