Manny, unless the extended warranty that you're considering is a Starmark Component Warranty which covers the following in addition to the Starmark Powertrain Component Warranty: Fuel Injection System, Steering System, Suspension, Brake System, Electrical System, Climate Control, Body and Central Locking System I would invest that money and pay for the repairs out-of-pocket. The extended warranty that the local MB dealer offered for our 1998 E320 after the original warranty expired seemed useless IMO, so I declined to purchase it. Let's face it extended warranties are another profit opportunity for the dealers. They aren't offering them for the customers' benefit.
