paying extra for cpo?

dizzyj · 07-12-2010, 02:13 PM

I see several used m3's for sale, where for an extra price, the dealer will cpo the car. How much do you think thats worth? and is it possible to buy a car from a non bmw dealer, but still pay to make it a cpo (i.e just get the warrenty)

CPO is only worth it if you think it is. Just because a car is CPO doesn't really mean squat. Plenty of cars out there there should never make it through inspection do.

You cannot get a CPO warranty unless they do it before you buy the car. Nor can you get an extended BMW warranty unless you are the original owner and haven't exceeded the standard bumper to bumper warranty.

You can sometimes get other companies to give you extended warranties, however they are all different so do your homework.

The value of a CPO is whatever an extended warranty costs. Probably ~$3k.
