Default question about warranties

this is not a vette related question but i thought id give it a try here since ive read many forum member posts regarding extended warranty companies. growing up i used to drive my parents' 1989 merceds 300e. nothing like a good ol' german inline 6 (except of course for an american v8) i had the car in college but we sold it when i graduated and i bought myself the 01 vert. been out of college 3.5 years now and will need another car so im looking at a 95 e320. however, i know how much german cars can be to maintain if anythin goes wrong so im looking to purchase an extended warranty for the car. ive read about some good waranty providers on the forum and would greatly appreciate any input/recommendations. thanks.

The Other Cars section of the Forum may be a better place to ask these questions on other cars. Some who hang out there may have first hand knowledge/experience with extended warranties for your specific vehicle. Good luck.

I went with Warranty Direct, but I do not think they will cover a '95 model year car. You can check with them to be sure. 1Source is another company but they may have the same restrictions on how old the car can be.
