Mercedes Sprinter site says the warranty will be available in Spring 2010. I emailed them just the other day.

Hello. I have a 2008 Sprinter with 33k miles. I am waiting for your extended warranty program to come out. Any better estimate than “Spring of 2010″? Here in California some of the trees are starting to bloom – they think it is spring!

To which they replied . . .

Thank you for your inquiry about Sprinter vehicles. Regarding your inquiry, at this time information on extended warranties for Sprint is unavailable. We suggest visiting the main Sprinter website from time to time for any updates: www.sprintervans-usa.com

So, the waiting continues.

Mercedes Benz will honor the Dodge basic warranty. So for me, that means I have 6,000 miles and 1 year of Mercedes warranty left.

Mercedes Benz will not honor any extended warranty purchased from Dodge. The key word here is purchased. Dodge got the money and it is their warranty. Maybe Dodge will refund money based upon the unused portion of the warranty but I don’t think it likely.

Mercedes Benz will be selling an extended warranty that Dodge Sprinter owners can purchase as long as their Sprinter is still covered under the original warranty. No word on months/miles/cost.

At least one Mercedes dealer will be marking a kit to change your Dodge logo’s to Mercedes. You can find these now on the market but perhaps the dealer will save you some money.

From what I read, the new Sprinter dealers are excited and ready to jump into the game. Yaaahooooo!
