Used m240i Not Certified Pre Owned
Hey guys. I'm looking into purchasing an m240i, gray with 9800 miles in Universal City, CA. The problem is that the dealer is not selling it CPO. When I had asked why, he started that it's because it has 3 years of warranty left. Then I asked why his other listings were CPO and he said that if I want, I can pay $1500 to get the car certified. My question is should I be concerned and look elsewhere? Could this car have had paintwork or something else that the dealer knows about deeming it not CPO worthy?

Get a PPI and do the CPO later just before the original warranty expires if you are going to keep the car. Really not all that complicated.

They typically wont CPO cars with a good amount of warranty left. You can try and negotiate it in there, but in all honesty, the CPO warranty is just ok, if the car has more options on it, I would rather in your place try to negotiate in the platinum warranty, since that's 7year/100k miles and its the full factory warranty essentially.
Your best bet at securing a decent price for that one is usually at time of purchase. CPO comes with 2 different variants, 1 extra year, and 2 extra years, but keep in mind the CPO warranty will not cover interior vehicle electronics. (Navigation etc). You have CPO and you have the Gold extended warranty. You can get the gold one also, its the same crap as CPO, or go for platinum.

Its up to the dealer, a lot will not certify the car that early on because it is a cost they incur. They tend to want to pass that off onto the customer.

That said, maybe someone can confirm, I think all service loaners and/or exec demos must be CPO'd before being sold.

I ran into this situation in 2012 when I bought my used 2011 335i from BMW of Beverly Hills. When I asked why it wasn't CPO, yet other used 335i's they were selling were, it was because this car was never privately owned. It went from the dealer lot unsold into the dealers fleet use as a service loaner. 9000 miles later I bought it and kept it until November last year.
