In 2015 I bought a certified pre-owned 2014 Jeep Rubicon with just over 14K miles. Some poor schlub paid a lot of money for the privilege of breaking in the engine for me :)
You got that right. Low mileage CPO is the only way to go. Previous car was a MB E550, current year model, 5k miles, better warranty than a ‘new’ car. Still smelled new. Saved $thousands! Similar deal with current car. (2013 SL63 AMG. 600 hp. I love capitalism!)
The only downside for me was that the prior owner had no idea what he was doing with a Jeep and was using it apparently for road use only. At 14k miles the stock MTA tires should have been rotated 3-4 times and weren’t so the rear tires had substantially more wear than the fronts.
