I’ve just posted a message about a month ago:
“I was shocked when I was told that the US starmark certification and warranty prices were changed in October 2004. The $800 certification (buys another year of warranty or 100K miles) and $2600 starmark 3 additional year warranty have been changed to $1600 for the certification and $4000 for an additional 2 year warranty.
This has to be a joke…
They double the price of the certification and also almost double the price of the starmak warranty but reduced the time coverage by one third.�
If the dealer wants 6K for the 2 years he is ripping you off!!!
BTW I was told by a dealer that the $4000 could be negotiable…
You could always buy an extended warranty from a 3rd party at the MB dealer too (much cheaper, but no airbags coverage).
Good Luck
