Used Vs. Certified Pre-Owned: What’s Better?

Looking for a pre-owned vehicle? Then the big question will arise eventually: is it better to buy a Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model vs. a standard used car? The choice can feel tricky since both options assist you in commanding uncompromised luxury at the right price—but the perks of each vary heavily. Not to worry, as today, we’ll assist you in exploring the benefits of a CPO cruiser vs. a general used car—and visit us at Mercedes-Benz of Gainesville near Orlando, FL, and test drive your favorite pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

What Is a CPO Model…And Is It Better Than a Used Car?

When you drive with a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle, the definition is in the name—it’s a used ride that packs like-new quality for your cruises. In fact, before even being considered a CPO car or SUV, each ride must be from a recent model year (less than six years old) and have an odometer reading of less than 75,000 miles. Also, the cruiser must belong to the Mercedes-Benz brand and pass a strict 165+ point inspection performed by factory-trained experts to help ensure everything from your powertrain to flooring is up to quality standards, helping you avoid a lemon.

On top of assisting in ensuring refined quality, you’ll also find coverage with Mercedes-Benz CPO cars and SUVs with protections like a 12-month/unlimited-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty that starts after the end of the 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty to help bring peace of mind on nearly any road. Plus, with 24/7 Personal Assistance, you’ll get Roadside Assistance when issues arise, like needing a jump start with a low battery or receiving fuel when you run out of gas for uncompromised convenience.
