He looked at my account and then said that the CV Boot and the Power Steering would be covered, less the $50.00 deductible, but all the other things would not.

But I will follow your advice and double check because you are right, I'll pissed if I have them do the work and the come back saying, "Oh you know what ... "
CV boot is NOT covered under CPO, although I have heard very rare instances where people had it covered (with a very generous SA).. it is a rubber component and considered "wear and tear"... As for the brakes, you can do much better at an indy... I'm not sure what kind of relationship you have at your dealer, but that's a very hefty repair bill replacing all that stuff... As long as you check your CV boots and brakes periodically (ie. no visible cracks in the rubber, brakes nearly worn out or excessive squealing), I see no reason why you should replace them... Sounds like you have a very aggressive service advisor looking to make some extra $$$...

BTW- power steering leak should be covered under CPO...
