Anyone know or can speculate why a 1 owner 2015 C63s with 15k miles at a Mercedes dealer 'not' be a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) when other 2015's with 19k and 33k miles at other dealers are CPO? Thanks.

Because it costs money to CPO it, which raises the necessary sale price to the customer. It should be less expensive, equal for equal because it did not have any (or perhaps as much) reconditioning, and it does not have an extended warranty. It should be lower priced than the one with 19K miles, perhaps similar to the one with 33K.

Theres a chance it cant be CPO because of frame damage. But most likely an MB dealer wouldn’t have such a car on their lot anyways. They either would not buy it a auction, or if traded in would just send it to auction. But some dealers are more meticulous and ethical than others, so as always, buyer beware.

Thanks for the insight. Here's a comparison of 2 from different dealers. Higher mileage car is CPO and has lower price. Non CPO car has lower mileage and priced higher.

CPO:
2015 C63s
15k miles
1 Owner
Accident Reported
$51k

Non CPO:
2015 C63s
19k Miles
1 owner
No Accident Reported
$49k
