What does Certified Pre-Owned mean for your car buying experience?

October means Certified Pre-Owned month for the over 300 authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers nationwide.  Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown offers a wide range of Certified Pre-Owned vehicles; however, how does a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle become certified and what benefits follow with purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz?

To qualify for a Pre-Owned Certification, the Mercedes-Benz vehicle must meet specific criteria as well as successfully pass an extensive 165+ point inspection.  The CARFAXⓇ Vehicle History Report is reviewed to ensure that the vehicle has been serviced according to the specified maintenance schedule.  A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle may not exceed the 6 model year limit or the 75,000 mile eligibility limit.

In addition to the added level of comfort provided by the rigorous vehicle inspection and history evaluation, a Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicle provides more peace of mind with the warranty.  The Certified Pre-Owned vehicle maintains the remaining coverage from the Mercedes-Benz four-year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.  Totaling up to 5 years of unlimited mileage coverage, the CPO Limited Warranty provides an additional 12 months of comprehensive coverage with unlimited miles.

Purchasing a Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicle allows you access to 24-hour Roadside Assistance, Nationwide Dealer Support, and the Vehicle Exchange Privilege.  The 24-hour Roadside Assistance that Mercedes-Benz provides assistance with trip interruption, trip routing, technical help, jump starts, tire changes, and refueling.  Over 300 authorized dealers nationwide support your Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle and honor your CPO Limited Warranty and Extended Limited Warranty.  Finally, the Vehicle Exchange Privilege allows customers that are not satisfied with their vehicle the opportunity to exchange their vehicle within seven days or 500 miles of purchasing their vehicle.  The vehicle can be exchanged for another CPO vehicle of equal or greater value if the customer wishes to pay the difference.
