Just bought CPO how should I feel about this one thing S60

It may be annoying that 5 months and 1000 miles have passed since your car was "certified" but I wouldn't look at it as though you've been duped or shorted, not for that reason anyway. It means that the car has been in their inventory for a few months after they took it in. I bet that happens all the time.

As for the tires, the worst one was @70% (assuming new is 10/32"). Do you change your tires at 70% tread depth? I think it's unreasonable to expect brand new tires on a used car (unless they're within 10-20kmiles of needing replacement. At the rate of 3/32" per 19,000 miles those tires should be ready to replace at around 50K miles - pretty good for OEM tires on an expensive European car, IMO. All that said, if they're wearing unevenly, abnormally, or making lots of noise, then you have every right to go back to your dealer and ask for an alignment (or new tires).

Just my stinky opinion but I figure all those "180 point inspections" are gimmicks to give you a warm fuzzy feeling about buying a (gasp) used car. I think you'd be really lucky if the service tech actually checked half the things on that list.

CPO on the other hand, that comes with a nice factory warranty does it not? My advice would be to take your CPO inspection report and do your own inspection of the car. Look for the gross and obvious. If you find something that they clearly should have caught then your dealer should be quick to fix it.

When you're all done checking it over and addressing any issues, you'll know your car (and your dealer) a lot better. Then you can really settle in to enjoy your new car!
