6 Critical Questions to Ask the Dealership While Buying a Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz 

What Is the Vehicle’s History? 

Understanding a vehicle’s past is crucial when buying pre-owned. Request the CARFAX Vehicle History Report or similar documentation. This report will provide insights into previous ownership, accident history, and any reported service records. At Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead, we ensure complete transparency, giving you confidence in your purchase. 

Is the Vehicle Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)? 

Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles undergo a rigorous 165-point inspection to meet the highest standards. CPO vehicles also have a limited warranty and roadside assistance, providing peace of mind. Ask about the specific benefits of a CPO Mercedes-Benz and ensure the certification process is explained in detail. 

What Warranty Coverage Is Available? 

Mercedes-Benz CPO vehicles include extended warranty coverage that protects against unexpected repairs. For non-CPO cars, inquire about optional extended warranty plans. Understanding the coverage will help you budget for future maintenance while protecting your investment. 

What Maintenance Has Been Performed? 

Luxury vehicles like Mercedes-Benz require regular maintenance to perform at their best. Ask for a detailed maintenance record, including information on oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and other essential services. This ensures the vehicle has been adequately cared for, preserving its quality and reliability. 

What Features and Technology Are Included? 

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are renowned for their innovative technology and premium features. Confirm that the pre-owned model you’re considering includes the desired features, such as the MBUX infotainment system, advanced driver assistance features, and premium interior materials. Take a test drive to experience these features firsthand and ensure everything functions as intended. 

Are There Financing Options Available?
