Whether you're looking for affordability, a specific model, or more variety, pre-owned vehicles fill in a gap that many brand new models cannot. At our dealership, we offer a special segment of used vehicles that are referred to as Certified Pre-Owned. While you may have heard of this terminology before, many clients don't understand what this status means or what it entails. So, we're here to offer you the advantages of a certified pre-owned Ford model and how they can benefit shoppers around Beacon.

A Program All Its Own

Just as they do with their vehicle quality, the Ford brand has outdone themselves with their signature certified pre-owned program. Better known as Ford Blue Advantage, this brand's certified pre-owned program contributes to a personalized car-buying experience. Not only do vehicles in the Ford Blue Advantage program pair with widespread benefits, but they also provide peace of mind towards your used vehicle selection.

Requirements of a Certified Pre-Owned Ford Vehicle

Before we delve into all the benefits of a certified pre-owned Ford model, there are several qualifications a vehicle must meet to earn this standard. Ford is one of the only automakers that offered different levels for their certified pre-owned models. These consist of Gold Certified, EV Certified, and Blue Certified.

• Gold Certified: Six years old or newer with less than 80,000 miles. Vehicles in this category have passed a 172-inspection.
• EV Certified: Fully electric Ford vehicles that are six years old or newer with less than 80,000 miles. Must also pass a 127-point vehicle inspection.
• Blue Certified: Any make or model that is ten years or newer with less than 150,000 miles. Must pass a 139-point inspection.

Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Ford Vehicle

Warranty Coverage and Reliability

Now that you understand the requirements Ford models must meet to be deemed certified pre-owned, you can rest assured in the quality and longevity offered by these vehicles. If that wasn't enough, take note that certified pre-owned Ford vehicles are also accompanied by a specific warranty that is granted solely to vehicles within this segment of used models. It varies based on the program, but the best warranty is in the Gold Certified program that consists of a 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Warranty paired with a seven-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. We stand behind the quality and reliability of our certified pre-owned Ford models, and we can help you find your perfect Ford vehicle for your Fishkill drives in this selection.

Affordable Pricing

Another perk of certified pre-owned Ford models is the price range at which these vehicles are available. You can get a model that features nearly new technology, design, and safety features for a fraction of the cost a brand new model would be priced at. If you opt for a certified pre-owned model that is just a few years old, you're investing in a vehicle that offers like-new quality at a competitive price without the initial deprecation you'd see in a brand new vehicle. Also, by selecting a certified pre-owned model you may be able to afford a better trim or package than would be possible if you bought it brand new.
