I just picked up a 600 with AMG package last week, I have had Audi and maserati in the past this is my first benz but I fell in love with the fact that I needed a family sedan but didn't want to lose power and my love for speed and no compromise with this car...

I picked it up for 19k with 55k miles on it 2nd owner with good records...I am buying the lexus VSA warranty through a buddy of mine for 5,700 which is a 3 year 36k mile warranty backed by lexus. I figured for under 25k how can I go wrong. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I dont know much about the car but I need to fix the front seat massagers and the navi has a spot where some dummy touched the screen...waiting for the warranty to kick in to fix these....

Yes its a 3 year 36k warranty backed by lexus so I can take it right to Mercedes if I have an issue...plus loaner vehicles and roadside included...I know most love their benz but the lexus service is outstanding as well and I have high hopes for Mercedes to be at the same level or higher..

Here is a link to the warranty coverage, to me having a warranty backed by lexus vs fidelity is much safer investment, plus I used to work for lexus so I know how they treat their clients, also the price difference on coverage was about 5k in savings..

Great find! Love the color combo also. $5,700 for a 36k mile warranty may sound steep, but it will keep you calm in the situations its needed. Hope to see more pictures.
Yes the fidelity warranty ranges from about 8,000 - 18,000 but for a twin turbo V12 with a engine that may have to be removed to work on the turbos it seemed pretty safe, plus it covers practically everything down to electronics and almost all hoses. Even better its a $0 out of pocket warranty which is nice, I figured I would spend about 3,000 in basic repairs in between now and 91k miles so only risking 2,700 for piece of mind ...not to mention I get to pay the warranty over 18 months at no interest.
