I just got a 2017 with 22k miles on it. I got a free for life carfax report and says the car needs an oil change. I just checked the dip stick and the oil is fresh and looks clean. I also just took out the air filters to put in bmc filters and those look brand new also.

I'm only asking because im not sure where I stand with services the car needs now and they said they put new brakes on the car. But I didn't ask about anything else.

do they change all fluids on the car? Like brake,coolant,diff and transmission on a cpo car also?

It really varies quite wildly. On our E-class, they replaced all 4 tires, front brakes/rotors, and fixed some trim issues, and did the service A that was due. It only had 29k miles so it was not due any serious service yet.

On our Macan, they really did almost nothing (and told us to be grateful for it).

So YMMV.

Wondering if anyone works at a dealership that can look up my vin to see exactly what was done.

um maybe go check at the dealer to see what was done to your car...

just call the dealer you bought it from, and have them email you the last work order.. they can pull up the whole history via VIN...

I can get this info if you're still in need. Just send me the VIN.

Thanks!

Dealerships will do the minimum, or less, when they sell a 'certified' vehicle. The only thing CPO states is that....they've certified that someone else has owned the car they're reselling to you. Now, before they put it up for resale, they are required by their business model to perform a 1-n inspections to ensure it meets the their minimumally allowed tolerances. For a CPO'd vehicle you are paying for one more year of warranty time. That's all. Nothing more. From the web, here's MB Warranty claim:

Every Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) vehicle is covered by the standard MBCPO Limited Warranty — which now runs for 1 year with unlimited miles, starting when your vehicle's original 4-year/50,000-mile* Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.

So, the bottom line is you are getting a five year warranty with unlimited mileage. Now let's step back here and take a look at the warranty itself. In order for the 5 year warranty to stay in effect, you, the owner, are required to abide by their maintenance schedules. Whether they come out of your pocket using BillyBob's MB Shop or through a MB maintenance coverage plan or just taking it in for maintenance, you are required to keep the car maintained to keep the warranty in effect. If you can't show paperwork from BillyBob's MB Shop, based on any number of specific maintenance overlapping problems, they could say because the maintenance schedule was not kept up to date, they could deny you service. I am not sure if they could potentially void the CPO warranty itself. Never had to look at that.

However, on the bright side... if you're not driving that much these days, a dealership's maintenance schedule will be dragged out over a much longer period of time which will keep maintenance costs very low over the same amount of time due to the current situation we find ourselves in.

PS - Don't be a Maskhole. Cover up for us. Thank you.

To be honest the only thing I care about is the breaks. They told me they were done and the rotors are smooth and look new.

But then they told me they put 5k into it before listing but the ceramic rotors should be more than that.

That's a nice offer - are you willing to extend it to another member (me?)
