A Certified Pre-Owned Ford offers buyers an alternative to brand-new and standard used vehicles, providing potential savings compared to buying new while still offering the benefits of a manufacturer-backed certification program.

What Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Include

Ford Blue Advantage vehicles must pass a multi-point inspection before certification. Qualifying vehicles may also include applicable manufacturer-backed limited warranty coverage, a CARFAX vehicle history report, and Ford Roadside Assistance.

Ford currently offers different certification levels, including Gold Certified, EV Certified, and Blue Certified. Inspection requirements, vehicle age and mileage limits, warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and other benefits vary between these certification levels.

Review the certification details provided for the individual vehicle to understand its inspection, warranty, roadside assistance, mileage, and program benefits.

Certified Pre-Owned Overview

Certified pre-owned vehicles can be an option for buyers seeking the value of a used vehicle while still wanting applicable manufacturer-backed benefits.

They often fall between standard used and new vehicles in purchase price, depending on the model, mileage, age, condition, equipment, certification level, and current market.

Certification can be especially useful for buyers who plan to keep their vehicle for several years and place additional value on inspection documentation, vehicle-history information, limited warranty coverage, and roadside assistance.

How Certified Pre-Owned Compares With New and Standard Used

New vehicles typically offer the latest available technology, the lowest starting mileage, and the full applicable new-vehicle warranty, but they may also have a higher purchase price than comparable used vehicles.

Standard used vehicles may offer a lower purchase price, but they do not necessarily include the same inspection requirements or manufacturer-backed certification benefits. Some used vehicles may still have remaining factory warranty coverage or separate dealership protection, so review the details of each listing.

Certified pre-owned vehicles fall between these options. They may cost less than comparable new vehicles while including benefits that are not automatically included with every standard used vehicle.

When shopping, compare our complete used inventory alongside our certified Ford inventory, especially when price, warranty coverage, mileage, and long-term ownership are important factors.

Finance Department Assistance

Financing a certified vehicle follows a process similar to financing other used vehicles. Our Finance Department can help you review available financing options for your certified pre-owned purchase.

Approval, rates, terms, payments, down-payment requirements, and available offers depend on the completed application, selected vehicle, lender requirements, credit qualifications, and programs available at the time of purchase.

If you plan to trade in a vehicle, Value Your Trade can provide an initial estimate before the official appraisal.

Final trade-in value may depend on mileage, condition, equipment, vehicle history, ownership information, payoff details, market conditions, and an inspection of the vehicle.

Protection Plan Assistance

If you are interested in additional coverage beyond the warranty included with a certified vehicle, our Finance Department can help you explore available Vehicle Protection Plan options.

Available plans may offer coverage for certain repairs, components, roadside services, rental-car expenses, or other eligible costs. Coverage, exclusions, deductibles, mileage limits, time limits, and eligibility vary by plan.

Review the complete contract and plan terms before purchasing additional protection. A protection plan does not necessarily cover every repair or last for the entire life of the vehicle.
