How much is CPO worth?
I'm in the market for a used ML BT and was wondering what most people think CPO is worth. I see used vehicles from non MB dealers for several $K less. They mostly have clean CarFax and are one owner vehicles. What do you think? Thanks, just joined.

Really depends on what you're ownership arc may look like on the car...
The CPO is supposed to be slightly refurbished, but I wouldn't put too much stock in that. If you get a used MB that has been properly maintained and you do a pre-purchase inspection you won't get much of a difference.
From a feature perspective... The CPO extended unlimited mile warranty covers less than the MB ELW that you can get on a non-CPO car, but the MB ELW will stop at 100K miles and can't be purchased beyond new car warranty (CPO gets its extras even if the MB base warranty has already expired).
I purchased a MB from a non-MB dealer and it got totaled shortly after and I purchased a CPO replacement. Mainly due to the unlimited mile warranty allowing me to not be as concerned about mileage as I tend to drive a fair bit. The 2 years of free pre-paid maintenance also helped.
My view, pick what nets you the best deal for your ownership arc.
