March 1, 2011 – Signal Hill, Calif.- Mercedes-Benz of Long Beach confirms, Mercedes-Benz USA has increased coverage of its Certified Pre-Owned Extended Limited Warranty.

Effective February 2011, the Mercedes-Benz CPO ELW has additional mileage coverage for both the one and two year warranty packages:  The one year will cover up to 120,000 miles (up from 100,000) and the two-year will cover up to 135,000 miles (up from 100,000).

"Each vehicle is backed by one of the most comprehensive pre-owned vehicle limited warranties available,” said Bob Milner, General Manager of Mercedes-Benz of Long Beach. “The program is a great choice for Mercedes-Benz. It continues to show our drivers that the brand is committed to safety, quality and reliability.”

Every Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz comes with a one year CPO warranty which covers the vehicle for one-year and up to 100,000 total vehicle accumulated miles. The Extended Limited Warranty begins after the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty expires.  At this point, the new CPO ELW provides vehicle coverage for another 12 months or up to 120,000 total vehicle accumulated miles or 24 months, or up to 135,000 total vehicle accumulated miles.  

For those Mercedes-Benz CPO vehicles that are no longer covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, the Mercedes-Benz CPO Limited Warranty takes effect at the time of delivery.  The coverage will extend to the engine and power train, steering, suspension, brakes (excluding wear of discs and pads), electrical system, climate control system and navigation.

While the typical MBCPO model is a two to three year-old vehicle, cars up to six model-years old with up to 75,000 total vehicle accumulated miles are eligible.  To qualify for Pre-Owned Certification, a Mercedes-Benz vehicle must meet stringent criteria and pass a rigorous inspection process, which includes bumper-to-bumper inspection of the appearance and mechanics of the car.
