MB Courtesy Buy-Back
In my search for a used MB ('02 CL55 or CL600) I find instances where a vehicle that is offered for sale is a "MB courtesy buy back". Should I not consider such vehicles, even if they are still under warranty? In many cases, the are offered at a healthy discount from the norm presumably because people (like me) are wary of them. I would appreciate any input you can give.
Thanks,

In the market
I have heard of situations where dealers will allow a customer to terminate a lease on a vehicle early, because the dealer can sell a 2 year old vehicle at a considerably hight price than a 4 year old vehicle. I beleive I have heard the term courtesy used in a transaction like that. I wonder if that is what they are refering to when they call the cars courtesy buy backs. If that is the case, you probably don't have any worries.

Check service history.....
Check the service history to see if there was a recurring problem that could not be solved and perhaps that is the reason for the buy back. There could be many reasons for a buy back that are not bad reasons.
