Certified Pre-Owned SL55 or Manufacturer Buy Back?

I am considering upgrading my SLK55 to an SL55 and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with a Manufacturer buyback SL?

I am also looking at a CPO but I don't want to go back to CD based Navigation which means 05 or newer correct?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Don't worry about the CD NAV, it works. The point of the SL55 is to go fast!

The buyback cars have to be backed by a full warranty, so if you can live with the fact that it was a buyback..........you'll get a good deal. Just make sure that it doesn't scar the title.

I think all buy backs are on the title by default.
I will be watching for a good buy... thanks for your input!

Not neccesarily...... A car could be a buyback for a simple problem. Example, an 04 S500 with a DVD Nav processor that continued to lock up, unfortunately a solution was not reached fast enough to please the client. A month or two later, an updated processor comes out and is installed within minutes. Car is fixed. I would be all over that.

I agree, aslong as the issue that caused it to be a buyback was very minor and not a complicated issue that could come up again, it'd be of some interest to look into it
