Father is looking for a new (used) car.

Most likely it will be the Merc CLS 500. Very nice and all that 2005ish models.

Anyway, it appears most/all used car dealers offer a warranty but the limit is £1000 per claim (multiple claims allowed). Great if lots of relatively small problems but not so great if the engine goes or gearbox etc.

Anyone know how much Merc will charge for something that has higher claim limit. Are there any other companies that will provide anything good without costing the earth.

When I got my S2000 (private sale) I was able to get a warranty from Honda that didn't have a silly £1k claim limit. It was only £300 p/a with breakdown cover etc. and covers anything up to the value of the car.

If anyone knows about any major issues with the CLS500, let me know also
Thanks.

I have just been quoted circa £1500pa for a Mercedes Tier 1 warranty with no excess on a 2004 SL500 so I should imagine a CLS would be in the same ballpark. You can contact Mercedes with the proposed cars registration and Vin number and they will quote based upon the car and its service history.
