CPO - NAVI upgrade or not?

[Ekring67]

A few weeks ago I bought a 2011 4.6 with about 15K miles on it. It was a CPO (Certified Pre Owned). Supposedly it was to be given a thorough inspection to be classified as a CPO. So far I have had to take it back for a tire rebalance and on another visit back for alignment. I am skeptical about the thoroughness of the CPO program but optimistic. This only makes me wonder about the navigation system being updated.

Should the navigation system be updated under the CPO program standards?

Each manufacturer has their own rules regarding what a CPO vehicle is. There are no government regulations for CPO designation that I know of. I doubt that they are obligated to update the navigation maps unless there has been a TSB issued to fix a navigation software problem. But I guess it doesn't hurt to ask the dealer.

I purchased a CPO at the end of December and mine was not.

In addition both fog lights were burned out and neither of the recalls had been done. I was less than impressed with the 'CPO process', especially since this car had been on the dealer lot for quite some time, they had plenty of time to check to see if these had been completed after they purchased the car at auction.
