In 2003 I bought a brand new Mercedes CLK 430. I only have 21,000 miles on it now. It has always been garaged and is in near perfect condition. The warranty is expired.I have had the normal services done on time, except for the last couple of years.Being that it is now 7 years old, how important is it that I get those expensive services done on schedule?? It's very low miles vs. age.

    i've never agreed with service checkups at a cost or extended warranties.regular oil changes at 3000-5000 miles and mild tune ups from time to time like fuel filters and air filters and you will be fine.not to mention its a mercedes-benz.
