Yup - coverage starts with in service date not date of production i.e. depends how long it sat on the lot.
The production date on the door jamb is your worst case scenario (least coverage).

I'm all for having extended warranties for these beasts but a 10K difference just for having 2yrs CPO coverage seems insane. I would just bank the 10K and use that for repairs.
