hopefully all of this will be covered on the extended warranty

On a 2001? Assuming that you bought it @ 2000...that'll be like 13k miles a year. An average driver does 12-15k a year....so you are just about right.

I have a 2002...and I already have 68k miles on mine.

WOW, you drive a lot.
You bought your car several months AFTER me and I just hit 20K.

This is my second CLS. I traded the first at 105,000mi. Other than three trannys, warped rotors and some rattles (all were taken care of under warranty) my car performed just as good at 105K as it did when I first got it. If they are well maintained and not abused they will last well past 200K. FYI, my CLS saw 100mph every week that I owned it.

That's no way to treat her dude. Maybe I should come up and drive her around for you.

Dude, I see you're from Houston. You should have made it out to the meet. Search for Meet and Eat to get info on next meet.
