Everyone dreads the day when one of their home appliances unexpectedly breaks, and they need to dish out hundreds to thousands of dollars for an essential part of their daily living. When you come to the realization your daily driver isn’t going to last much longer, the stress and anxiety of that purchase can be even harder for you to accept than with those other large purchases. Even if you have a rainy day fund to use as a downpayment, you can feel the pressure of needing to buy a new car in your bank account before you even begin the car-buying journey. New vehicles can be costly, especially if it's an unexpected investment, but we’re happy to let you know there are budget-friendly options for you that will get you into a certified, reliable pre-owned vehicle that can save you from the financial burdens of buying new and the stress of purchasing a typical used model. When you are interested in finding Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, visit Newton Ford South because we’re more than just a typical dealer.
By choosing a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you are buying more than just a used car. Typical used cars can save you thousands when compared to new models, but most offer no warranty with your investment. With Ford Blue Advantage certified vehicles, you will be investing in a purchase that can give you confidence on the road that you’ll be missing out on if you buy just a used model, without the hefty price tag you’ll find on a brand new model. Ford Blue Advantage gives you a used car buying experience worth bragging about.
To ensure you are buying a quality vehicle, each Ford Blue Advantage model must meet certain requirements before being considered for certification, and those that do will fall into one of two tiers. Vehicles with clean titles that are ten years old or less with under 120,000 miles on them will qualify as Blue Certified, while models less than six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles can be Gold Certified. Once they qualify, they go through a thorough inspection to ensure everything is in good condition and operable.
Due to its meticulous selection and inspection process, Ford can back each Certified Pre-Owned vehicle with comprehensive limited warranty coverage and roadside assistance. Additionally, with Ford Blue Advantage, you may even be eligible for a money-back guarantee if the vehicle you chose just doesn’t seem to meet your satisfaction after you bring it home, which is not something you find with every Certified Pre-Owned program.
Although most Certified Pre-Owned vehicle programs have a strict selection and inspection process similar to the Ford Blue Advantage, what they don’t offer is a two-level program that gives you the power of choice. Ford’s unique approach of offering Gold and Blue level certified vehicles broadens the selection of models drivers can choose from, which also makes buying a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle even more affordable.
While competitors’ programs like GM, Toyota, and Chrysler all offer only one level of certification, they are setting limitations for program qualification with model year and mileage restrictions but also end up limiting the price options that drivers can choose from within the selection of vehicles available with their programs. The newer the model, the more you’ll have to spend. For some people, that’s acceptable, but for others, it may not be. By offering a second level to choose from, Ford opens a new opportunity for those looking for vehicles they can trust at a lower price point to meet their budget requirements.
The Blue Certification covers vehicles beyond what most manufacturers would even think of giving warranties, while the Gold level is more in line with other brands, like Toyota and GM’s. Even Ford’s Blue Certified models only go through a 139-point inspection, while Chrysler’s Certified Pre-Owned models only have to pass a 125-point inspection which is not as nearly as detailed as other competitors. Not to mention, Ford’s Gold level must pass a 172-point inspection.
As you can see, even with the Blue Certified level's more relaxed requirements to ensure there are Certified Pre-Owned models for any budget, they still have to pass a rigorous inspection, more in-depth than competitors. So why pay more for a newer used vehicle when you can pay less for a slightly older or more worn-in model that has to pass stricter testing and comes with more appealing incentives like a money-back guarantee? You shouldn’t have to, and you don’t have to if you choose to buy a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.
It is unfortunate the number of dealerships in business that don’t put their customers’ needs first.
