In order to qualify for certification, a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz must be less than 6 years old, and must have less than 75,000 miles on the odometer; then, to fully become certified, the used luxury vehicle must be able to pass a strict multi-point inspection. It's without a doubt the best way to buy a used car, but Mercedes-Benz offers some extra benefits that other brands don't.
If you're looking for a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLA, GLC, or G-Class--but you don't want to have to pay new-car prices in Indian Trail, Matthews, Monroe, and Harrisburg--here's why you should consider a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz.
A Great Price, an Incredible Value
On average, you'll pay a few thousand dollars less for a high-quality Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz model than you would for a brand-new version of the same model--and while your Certified Pre-Owned vehicle may have a few more miles and may be a bit more weathered, their similarities far outweigh their differences... you'll just pay a lot less for the same performance, quality, technology, and style that you love.
And it's more than just initial savings--a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz is truly an incredible value.
When you buy a one-, two-, or even three-year-old Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz, you get to Dodge that initial drop in value, and enjoy the retention of residual and resale value for longer. That means that even though you'll be saving a few thousand dollars, your money will go farther. Now that's a benefit.
Security, Safety, and Peace of Mind
A Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz offers something that a simple pre-owned luxury vehicle can't: exceptional peace of mind. This is because every vehicle undergoes a factory-recommended inspection, completed by professionals, to prove that it is worthy of the name; and that means that from the smallest button to the largest engine component, every piece and part in your vehicle has been confirmed to be like-new.
The inspection looks at over 160 points all on the exterior and body and interior, including:
- 11-point general vehicle inspection
- 13-point engine and system inspection
- 16-point engine component and parts inspection
- 32-point electrical system inspection
- 17-point undercarriage and drivetrain inspection
- 26-point chassis inspection
- 14-point road test inspection
- 3-point post-road test inspection
- 32-point appearance inspection
If your Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz model is less than 4 years old, with less than 50,000 miles on the odometer, it enjoys any remaining coverage allotted under the original new vehicle warranty right from the get-go. On top of that, Mercedes-Benz adds an additional 12 months of CPO warranty coverage with unlimited mileage that starts on the very day that the original warranty ends--if your Certified Pre-Owned model is outside of its new-vehicle coverage, the standard CPO coverage begins on the day of delivery.
Should you prefer a longer warranty term, Mercedes-Benz does allow drivers to purchase an additional one or two years of coverage, also with unlimited mileage. The Certified Pre-Owned warranty covers the engine and powertrain, the steering, suspension, brake system (except for usual or excessive wear of discs and pads), the electrical system, and the climate control system.
Even better? The warranty is fully transferrable, which means that you can sell any remaining warranty coverage with the vehicle should you choose to part with it for any reason, furthering boosting the vehicle's resale value.
