What Does Certified Pre-Owned Mean?
A certified pre-owned or CPO car falls under the used category. It technically is a used car but provides the owner with extra benefits. Plus, it must go through a vetting process in order to gain this coveted status. The dealership must give the vehicle the official seal of approval in order to be classified as a CPO vehicle.
How Does a Ford Become Certified Pre-Owned?
The Ford brand offers two types of CPO cars with different requirements. While both must go through rigorous examinations, they differ in the exact specifications needed to get the CPO designation.
Some CPO Ford vehicles receive the Blue status. The vehicle must be less than 10 years old and have fewer than 120,000 miles on the odometer. It must pass a 139-point inspection, conducted by our skilled service department.
If your CPO Ford comes with the Gold status, the requirements become more stringent. The car cannot be more than six years old and cannot show more than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Our service department must conduct a 172-point inspection, which goes into even further detail. Both CPO statuses ensure you're getting a quality car.
What Benefits Come with a Certified Pre-Owned Ford?
Now we're getting to the perks of owning a CPO Ford. Once you hear about these benefits, you'll be eager to find the ideal Ford to buy. Like the certification requirements, the perks differ between Blue and Gold Certified cars.
Blue cars include a Comprehensive Limited Warranty, good for 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever comes first. Plus, you'll get a Money Back Guarantee, good for 14 days or 1,000 miles. These items can offer great peace of mind.
Further peace of mind can be found in the 24-hour/7-day Roadside Assistance program. If you're stuck on the road, you'll rely on this valuable perk.
You'll also be able to keep up with maintenance needs. The CPO Ford provides you with 11,000 FordPass™ Rewards Points that can be applied to your first routine maintenance visit.
The Gold certification upgrades the programs available to the owner. A Comprehensive Limited Warranty that's good for 12 months or 12,000 miles comes with this type of vehicle.
On top of that, you'll receive a Powertrain Limited Warranty that spans seven years or 100,000 miles. A Money Back Guarantee comes with the car as well for up to 14 days or 1,000 miles.
Count on 24/7 Roadside Assistance, too.
For your first two maintenance visits, you can cash in 22,000 FordPass™ Rewards Points. This incentive nudges you to stay on schedule for routine services.
