The Blue Advantage Certified Vehicle program makes it easy to choose the best pre-owned Ford vehicles. These certified used Ford models have been tested extensively for both quality and reliability. And each comes with an extended warranty, so you don’t have to worry too much if something does go wrong.
Benefits of Buying Blue Advantage Certified
Shopping for a used car doesn’t have to be a gamble, thanks to Ford’s certified pre-owned program. That’s because Ford dealerships take the best trade-in vehicles available, run them through extensive inspections, and deliver them to you with extra warranty coverage. These models are known as Blue Advantage Certified Vehicles.
Ultimately, choosing one of these used Fords means maximum peace of mind. You don’t have to worry about unexpected issues, because even if they do occur, you can use your warranty coverage to sort them out.
Two Types of Blue Advantage Certified Vehicle
There are two types of Blue Advantage Certified Fords, Gold Certified and Blue Certified. Gold models are newer, with less mileage. They’re the best option for drivers who want extended warranty coverage. Blue models are older, which means they’re more affordable, and they’re also tested for reliability. However, they don’t come with as much warranty coverage.
Gold Certified Pre-Owned Ford Models
To become Gold Certified, a used Ford model must be less than six years old, with less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Once it meets these qualifications, it also must pass a 172-point inspection with flying colors. The Ford trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and cars that pass this high bar are then certified with the Gold-level perks.
Gold Certified warranty coverage includes:
- Comprehensive limited warranty: 12 months/12,000 miles
- Powertrain limited warranty: 7 years/100,000 miles
- Money back guarantee: 14 days/1,000 miles
Blue Certified Pre-Owned Ford Models
The Blue Certified program is designed for drivers who want a really low price on an older used vehicle, but don’t want to deal with any guesswork. These models can be up to 10 years old, with less than 120,000 miles on the odometer. To become a Blue Certified Ford, each model must pass a 139-point inspection.
Each qualified Blue Certified pre-owned Ford helps ensure there’s no surprises in the near feature, with coverage that includes:
- Comprehensive limited warranty: 90 days/4,000 miles
- Money back guarantee: 14 days/1,000 miles
Extra Perks
Blue Advantage Certified Vehicles also offer complimentary 24/7 roadside assistance, available for seven years or 100,000 miles from the date of sale, whichever comes first. If something unexpected goes wrong, you don’t have to worry about being left stranded on the side of the road.
And both Blue and Gold Certified Fords offer Rewards Points that you can use toward maintenance visits at the Ford dealership. Gold models provide 22,000 points to go towards two visits. Blue models give you 11,000 points toward one visit. Make sure you use your points within 60 days of purchasing your certified used Ford!
