Re: 850 - Is it a value? (archive)

I would really like it if a company came up with a full service warranty - my Mercedes dealer did it for a while but they got lazy - what I mean by full service is they come to the house and pick up the car, drop off a comparable loaner and bring your car back - detailed and ready to go. It's seamless. They ought to sell a super - premium warranty to cover this type of service. In the scheme of things, it's really not that much money. Seems like all the positive car owner experiences are spent on the purchase - dealers say the real money is made on service and factory warranty work anyway.
Anybody have any good warranty experiences?

: I must admit, the 850 is maybe the finest looking car ever made - reminds me of a Ferrari 456 GT. It also has terrific power. Here in SoCal, they can be had for as cheap as $15k. I found a great black on black '91 for $17k and would buy it but for the fact that serious mechanical fixes may cost more than the car itself!

: Does anyone sell a comprehensive warranty on early cars? I would pay $5k for a 3 year 25k mile warranty on what is perhaps the ultimate, ultimate driving machine. Seems like there's a good business opportunity for a warranty company if nobody is doing this.
