Today we picked up our much anticipated CPO P85. I've been lurking on the forum and heard great things about the CPO program and that cars were re-conditioned to excellent condition as expected of any CPO program. We were in good hands - I was certain.
I dont feel great right now. Our car was in a very obvious sand storm and has pitting on all front paint and glass. I showed this to the advisor and was met with, "its a used car," and "we'll see what we can do." Other minor things were a tear in the seat leather and the previous owners make up stains on the alcantara headliner.
I just sold my 7 Series BMW and had all imperfections re-painted, wheels refreshed and put new tires on for the new owner. I spent $1500 so it looked like new for the elated guy that came to my home to purchase. Now I'm told I just bought a used car in worse condition than the one I just sold, and "we'll see what we can do."
Yeah, we shouldn't have accepted the car, but we've been driving our family around and to work with one car and catching rides for the last month. We do love the car and the experience is super cool, but not knowing if the car will be fixed to CPO standards is a bad feeling. Kind of a pit in my stomach. I told the advisor who was 100% non-committal the whole time, "Imagine if you just spent 70K on a car and you discover it needs a new windshield and new headlights, fog lights and the whole front needs repainting...
Hopefully, they will fix and I'm going to request a set of 21 inch wheels to make us feel better for the hassle of this bad experience.
