Personally I would pass on that. First of all you have the MB factory warranty for the first 4 years/50K miles of which you still probably have 3 years and over 40K left so you are paying $1700 for a warranty for the last 2 years and 35K miles.
You'll know in the next 3 years if this car is a dog or not. If it is, then just sell it before the factory warranty expires - why would you want to keep a dog? If its a good car, keep it and gamble, just put the $1700 into a CD and collect the interest on it for the next 3 years. At 5% interest you'll have $2000 at the end of 3 years which you can put toward future repairs.
Don't forget these contracts don't include "normal wear and tear" which is really open to interpretation. Certainly tires, brakes, certain suspension parts will not be covered. And god forbid you ever have an accident...then they will blame every problem on that and claim it is not covered.
