Certified Pre-Owned Benefits

To qualify for Certified Pre-Owned status, each used Ford must be less than six model years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Then before we certify any Ford pre-owned vehicle, it must first pass a rigorous 169 point-by-point exam. All our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with extensive warranty coverage*. and 24-hour roadside assistance and Low APR Financing. And to top it off, your dealer provides a full tank of gas, new wiper blades, and fresh oil and filter at delivery.

What makes a CPO vehicle better than a regular used vehicle?

A Ford CPO vehicle must be under 6 model years old and can't have more than 80,000 actual miles on the odometer. Each Ford CPO vehicle goes through a rigorous 169-point inspection covering the powertrain, chassis, amenities and the overall condition of the vehicle. Each vehicle also comes with 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty coverage, 3-month/3,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty coverage, roadside assistance, a full tank of gas at delivery and much more.

Why aren't all eligible vehicles certified?

A vehicle may be eligible in terms of vehicle make, mileage or model year requirements, but not all vehicles may pass the vehicle inspection process.

Can I purchase a vehicle and have it certified?

No. The Ford CPO limited warranty coverage is placed by the manufacturer on the vehicle after the dealership has performed the inspection and before offering the vehicle for sale. Therefore, the Ford CPO limited warranty coverage cannot be purchased at the time of vehicle sale.

Can I lease a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle?

Yes. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles may be leased. Check with your local Ford Certified Pre-Owned Dealer for financing options.

Who was the previous owner of this vehicle?

CPO vehicles come from a wide variety of sources. The vehicle could have been obtained by the dealership via a retail trade, from an off-lease customer or purchased at auction. No matter how the vehicle was acquired, the vehicle must pass the vehicle inspection process in order to be eligible for this program.

Can I get a copy of the vehicle inspection checklist for my certified vehicle?
