Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz CLA?

Mercedes-Benz has long been one of the largest innovators in the world of luxury vehicles. From impressive interiors to powerful performance, driving a Mercedes-Benz is a unique experience. While there are numerous incredible Mercedes-Benz models, we will be taking a look at the CLA today.

This class of compact sedans does a flawless job of blending the luxury, performance, and high-tech features you expect from the German manufacturer. While buying a brand-new Mercedes-Benz CLA can be the dream, it can come with a bit of a high price tag for many people.

However, you can still get your hands on this incredible line of vehicles through certified pre-owned models. Take a closer look at what certified pre-owned (CPO) means and why they are worth considering.

The Difference Between Used and Certified Pre-Owned

Many people may be hesitant about buying a used vehicle. After all, there are plenty of horror stories out there about vehicles breaking down the day after buying them or other issues. The good news is that certified pre-owned vehicles are not just any old used car.

When buying a normal used car, they often come as is, meaning there isn’t much that can be done if there are issues. CPO vehicles, on the other hand, must meet a strict set of requirements from the manufacturer to even be considered.

What Does it Take for a Mercedes-Benz to Be a CPO?

For a Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be considered for the CPO program, it must:

• Have less than 75,000 miles
• Be less than 6 years old
• Be regularly serviced according to the maintenance schedule
• Include a CARFAX history report
• Pass a 165-point inspection of interior and exterior features and components
• Receive a thorough road test

These points alone help to ensure that the next owner is receiving a reliable and well-functioning vehicle.

The Benefits of Buying a CPO Mercedes-Benz CLA

There are several different benefits to choosing a CPO CLA over purchasing a brand-new one. The first of these is that the buyer will be getting their CLA at a much lower price point, but others include:

• Transferable warranty options
• Extended warranty options through the manufacturer or dealer
• Chance to find favored model years

The last point mentioned above can be favorable to many people. After all, there are often certain model years of any vehicle that people raved about or really loved. Shopping CPO inventory allows buyers to find one of these model years potentially.
