Is there a way to confirm if my car is a CPO
There's a dealer from out of state that is making a transaction seem quite shady and I want to make sure that the vehicle is a CPO before signing any paperwork.
Is there supposed to be separate paperwork? listed on the warranty sheet? or maybe a dealership can look it up in the system?

Take the VIN # to MB dealership and they came verify if it is or not.
CPO warranties are fully transferable between individuals however once the car has been through an auction or being sold buy non MB dealership the CPO is voided.

The sales and finance guy at the dealership I'm buying from have said that it's a CPO but based on transactions it almost seems like the sales guy would be like "oops, I forgot...sorry". I'd hate to call them out on it if they weren't being dishonest to begin with.

When a car is a cpo, the sales department is suppose to give you a cpo packet for the vehicle. It will have your vehicle's info in it. the purchase contract should also state that the car is a CPO.

If u purchased a used vehicle that had a CPO from a non-mb dealer how would the mb dealer know that the vehicle no longer belonged to the original owner who purchased the CPO car?

Not quite sure what you're asking but, only Mercedes Benz dealers can certify the car as a CPO. Non dealers can't sell and guarantee that the vehicle is a certified CPO. U need to call MB.

What I mean is when I purchased the car from a non-mb dealer I just happened to call a mb dealer and had them check the VIN. The dealership told me that the car is a CPO. Once I take it to the mb dealer after buying it from a non-mb dealer how will they know that the car isn't a CPO mb?

When I called the MB dealer and gave them the VIN they told me that the car is CPO and has an extended warranty until 2011 or 100K miles. Just trying to figure out since I'm the 3rd owner will this get flagged when I take the car to the mb dealer for service.
