CPO vs. used with extended warranty
This may have been obvious to others but I wondered how a CPO Mercedes could have a 7 year warranty/100,000 miles while a new Mercedes has only a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty.
The answer is simple: Mercedes Benz extended warranty. The MB EW is available during the existing warranty period. For example, the warranty on my 2019 E450 ends on December 26, 2022. I can get an extended warranty for 3 years:
That is my cost so the dealer cost will obviously be less.
If the price differential between a used Mercedes still under warranty vs. a CPO is more than $3,000 and the Carfax report is clean, the brakes, tires and other wear items are in good shape and 75,000 miles is sufficient it would be more efficient use of money to buy the used Mercedes, have it detailed and purchase an extended warranty than a more expensive CPO from the dealer.

FWIW: I just checked with my Mercedes dealer where I bought the extended warranty and he said that if you are buying from the original owner, the car is still under the factory warranty, that it should not be a problem purchasing an extended warranty.
This makes sense to me.
