Warranty Wise SL55
Discussion
Hello,
I've been offered two warranties from warranty wise for my 2002 SL55. One is approx £3000 for 3 years with a maximum claim limit of £12000 per claim. The second is ~£2400 for the same period but a £5000 claim limit.
Labour rate is £60 per hour (specialist rates) with an excess of £100. The policy states it covers all mechanical and electrical components.
The question I ask my forum brethren is do I even bother with a warranty and if so which one?
Car has done 42k now and I've replaced all TMPS, TMPS module and tandem pump in the last year which probably equates to about £2k. In this year of motoring I've done 15k miles.
There is also potential that I would like to delimit the car or even go far as DMS (which would invalidate any warranty).
Some other questions while I'm posting for a change - rather than lurking.
1. I am due to pick up some SL65 wheels soon, any way to ensure that they are real? They are the 10" wide rear variant.
2. I am trying to investigate getting airscarf fitted, apparently the SL63 airscarf headrests are integrated units. To determine the cost of this I would need an SL63 chassis number (pm please....
)
3. Although it appears that DMS offer the most common and reputable tuning package for the 55k, after perusing mbworld.org it seems that there are a fair few US mods available. Has any one tried any of these?
4. SL65 front bumper, how much to fit and has anyone done it?
Many thanks - and apologies for typos etc - I'm posting from my phone.
