Sounds right. I bought a Infiniti that was offered as a CPO car and already had the inspection/preparation done. They offered to discount the car by about $1000 if I wanted it without the CPO warranty. (I took the discount) The dealer did have other real reconditioning expenses that the CPO program required (new brakes, tires, etc. depending on the car) that had nothing to do with the warranty which did make the CPO car price a little higher than average. CPO programs often come with other benefits like preferred finance rates. Even third party lenders like my credit union offer new car rates on CPO cars in certain conditions. I'm fine with dealers profiting off these programs to a reasonable extent, but like with everything, they sometimes get greedy.
