Hi is it worth it.

I saw a 2015 manufactured 06/2015 ... That means it's warranty will be up 6/2019. Since it is a CPO, I will get an extended warranty to 06/2020.
What do you all do after the CPO expires?

How can I find out about the wrist pin issues.

I drive a 2015 lease now and I didn't have any wrist pin issues.

c400
just out of curiosity, is there a reason why you're looking to purchase one instead of leasing another one after your lease is over?

And if you do end up purchasing that cpo car, you can extend the cpo warranty for another year on top of that one year they give you and make it to 2021/unlimited miles, which is exactly what i did.

For the wrist pin issues, if it has been repaired previously, im sure you can ask the dealer to pull up the service record of that car to see if it was ever done by any mercedes dealer. That specific dealer might not have that information if it wasn't done by them but a big job like that would leave a record to mb so they should be able to find that out for you.

I bought my CPO '15 C300 in July. I think the warranty is up in 07/20 IIRC.

Had them check for wrist pin bulletin prior to delivery & have taken it in for a few minor things since delivery. Not overly concerned with the warranty expiring, in 1.5 years. I figure the majority of major problems will likely have occurred by then

2018 C 300
I purchased my CPO '15 C300 in April of 2018. So the warranty will run out in April of 2020. I really do like the car, had some minor issues with it one being an issue with the transmission hesitating and jerking under hard accelerations. I brought it to the dealer the first time and they reset the computer. it was fine for about a few months but then the issue occurred again, brought it back a second time and they said there was a recall on a part of the transmission that controls when shifts take place (forgot the exact name of the part). there were also some minor squeaks and rattles in the car, but besides that I love it. After reading about the exhaust pops/burbles in sport+ mode I was very happy I got the 2015 model because apparently they got rid of that for models 2016 and up. Makes the turbo 4 sound like an AMG which I really like. The other thing that you are probably aware of is the wrist pin issue. I have just over 30,000 miles on the car with no sign of it. I am not sure if this issue was already corrected before I bought it or it is just one of the few that does not have the problem. I would think if it has not shown up by now it would not happen anymore.

You can extend the CPO warranty two extra years . I just signed for a 15 C300 lease return with 30k miles with premium, lighting and multimedia packages along with a few other options tonight. CPO was until 7/2020 and we got 2 extra years unlimited miles for $3400.

are you all planning on keeping the vehicles for over 60 to 72 months? If not, are you okay with being over when it’s time to trade it in,
