You can buy any used vehicle from anybody. Or you can buy a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle that has undergone a 172-point inspection, offers a comprehensive limited warranty, 24/7 Roadside Assistance, and more. The choice isn't just easy, it's a no-brainer.

INSPECTION

172-Point Inspection

If a vehicle doesn't meet our strict criteria, we won't certify it. It's that simple. Prior to delivery of your vehicle, the following checks and inspections will be performed. Any item(s) that did not pass our 172-point inspection will have been replaced or repaired. We perform several checks on each of the following:

Underbody

Vehicle Interior

Convenience

Vehicle Diagnostics

24-Hour Roadside Assistance (towing, jump starts for dead batteries, flat-tire changes on-site and lockout services) is included for the duration of the powertrain limited warranty coverage

VEHICLE HISTORY

Vehicle History Report

Not every vehicle can make the cut as a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. To even be considered for certification, each Ford must be less than 6 model years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer.

After a vehicle has been determined as eligible in terms of age and mileage, an independent third-party vehicle history report is run to identify any vehicle that does not meet our strict standards. The report is run as a part of our 169-point inspection process, and it includes checks for:

Flood vehicles

Branded title

Fire damage

Odometer issues

Frame damage

Accident history

Salvage vehicles

Vehicle title history

In addition, you can view the actual Vehicle History Report for a specific vehicle by simply searching our current inventory now. Or ask your dealer for a copy when you arrive at the dealership.
