You need to check your consumer rights and the contract from the seller. Things have change with the Consumer Rights Act in 2015 so you have a degree of protection but only in certain cases and it could be a fight. There is some protection there already so you need to go google it.
Do you get the extended warranty? Bearing in mind you have given us absolutely no information then I guess it's up to you and your peace of mind. Might be worth getting an AA check instead to you know you aren't getting a bad un.
Are you buying from a reputable dealer or one of these one man bands? High value? Older high mileage? and so on.. .with so little information then I'd say it's up to you.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -
Ah, there is the information.. if you stuck to it.

I once bought a warranty direct product for two years. Did I need it? Nope. I guess the rates they charge depends on the likelihood of a claim so an Alfa (perhaps) would be unaffordable to cover. But a Honda or Toyota a lot less?
Best bet, IMO is to buy a Hyundai or Kia 5 or 7 year warranty when new, so still plenty of cover left at two years old.
Of course, if the plan is to buy an expensive badge then what I just said counts for nothing.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Dealer warranty is as useful as a chocolate teapot.
I would suggest you buy a brand new Merc from a main Merc dealer. Sorted.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment
