What’s the Difference: Pre-owned vs. Mercedes-Benz CPO

Our Mercedes certified pre-owned inventory has a lot to offer in terms of variety, quality, and luxury. If your budget is better suited toward a vehicle that has seen a few miles, a certified vehicle could be perfect to ensure you’re still getting that “like new” feel. We get a lot of questions about what goes into the certification process, and we can answer that question here at Keyes European.

Vehicle Certification

Mercedes-Benz certification means you’re getting the best. This includes the most well-maintained mechanical and electrical parts that have passed a 166-point inspection. The inspection includes nearly all components from under the hood, plus other exterior parts such as:

• Factory windows
• Mercedes-Benz approved tires
• Brake pad and rotor life

Other Perks of CPO

Buying a CPO vehicle gives you extra peace of mind, but it also provides additional services that make your purchase more like buying new. Every certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle is covered by any remaining portion of the Mercedes-Benz four-year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Then, the CPO Limited Warranty provides comprehensive coverage for another 12 months with unlimited miles. This means up to 5 years of unlimited mileage coverage.

Buying CPO also gives drivers access to 24/7 roadside assistance, nationwide dealership support, and possible vehicle exchange privileges.

The cases where regular, non-certified Mercedes pre-owned might be a better fit for you could be:

• If you want an older car
• If there’s another make or model you’re considering
• If your budget is on the very low end of the spectrum
• If you don’t want or need the extra perks
