The Ford Certified Pre-Owned Program ensures that pre-owned Ford vehicles meet stringent standards set by the Ford Motor Company.
To qualify, a vehicle must be less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles. Factory-trained technicians conduct a rigorous 172-point inspection to ensure it meets Ford’s high performance, safety, and reliability standards.
The Ford CPO Warranty offers comprehensive coverage that rivals many new car warranties, providing extensive protection for pre-owned vehicle buyers.
Here are the key components of the coverage:
12-Month/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty: This warranty covers over 1,000 components, including the engine, transmission, drivetrain, brakes, steering, suspension, air conditioning, and electrical systems. It provides similar coverage to the new vehicle limited warranty, ensuring that most major systems are protected.
7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty: This warranty covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components, offering long-term protection for these critical parts. The coverage is measured from the original in-service date of the vehicle.
All Ford CPO vehicles come with 24-hour roadside assistance, which includes services such as:
Towing assistance to the nearest Ford dealership
Flat tire changes
Jump starts
Lockout assistance
Fuel delivery
Travel expense reimbursement of up to $500 for up to three days of lodging, meals, and rental vehicle reimbursement if the breakdown occurs more than 100 miles from home
Each Ford CPO vehicle has a detailed vehicle history report, ensuring transparency and confidence in your purchase. This report includes information on previous ownership, accident history, and service records.
If your vehicle requires repair under the Ford CPO Warranty, you are eligible for a complimentary service loaner, ensuring that you stay on the move while your vehicle is serviced.
Choosing a Ford CPO vehicle has numerous benefits that provide peace of mind and exceptional value. Here are some of the key benefits:
The extensive coverage offered by the Ford CPO Warranty means you can drive confidently, knowing that many potential repair costs are covered. The comprehensive inspection process ensures that only vehicles in excellent condition become Ford Certified, reducing the likelihood of unexpected issues.
Purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle can offer significant cost savings compared to buying new. With the Ford CPO Warranty, you get near-new car protection at a pre-owned vehicle price, maximizing your value.
The rigorous 172-point inspection ensures that every certified vehicle meets Ford's high safety, performance, and reliability standards. This quality assurance means you’re getting a vehicle that has been thoroughly vetted and reconditioned as needed.
Vehicles with a certified pre-owned warranty often have higher resale values. The transferrable warranty is an attractive selling point for future buyers, providing them with continued coverage and peace of mind.
