Warranty

'96 C220
85,000 miles.

It was purchased from a used dealership.

Should it still be under factory warranty?
What is general mb manufacturer warranty?

Call 1-800-for-merc (that is MBUSA customer service headquarters) and have your vin number, they are good at answering such questions.

Mercedes has a 50,000 mile warranty, that is it. The only way for it to be under any other warranty is to have an extended warranty. (Good idea on a Mercedes as far as I am concerned.)

Not sure if this is "automatically" done when you registered your used vehicle, but you want to make sure that YOU are notified of any recalls or Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). These are typically corrected by your authorized MBZ dealer at no cost (regardless of the age of the car). Then again, almost all recalls/TSBs are safety-related . . . MBZ doesn't want any lawsuits. You may want to try searching the web for extended warranties, or your insurance agent may be able to help you (my Allstate agent approached me with an invitation for an extended warranty on our 1998 Chevy Astro Van). Other than that, warranty expiration means you're on your own

Hope this helps.
