IMHO the only warranty worth anything is the Mercedes one. All of the others appear to list what is included which means when push comes to shove the part which has failed doesn't appear on the included list. There are many examples of this on the forum.

I think due to the miles that you don't have the option of Service Plus from Mercedes, which is a pity as even though it isn't a warranty members have found that it pretty much covers everything. I don't think you will find many warranty companies interested in covering past 100,000 miles.

One positive is that if the car has covered 110,000 miles then I would expect that it has spent a lot more time driving than being in the workshop so any issues should be well ironed out. My previous E was running better at 126,000 miles when I sold it that when I bought it.

I would find a decent Mercedes specialist in your area and have him undertake servicing and any repairs that way you can spend a lot less than main dealer prices and actually find someone who understands your car.
