There are a lot of vehicle brands out there, but there are only a few leaders. When it comes to leaders in the American automotive market, one name comes to everyone’s mind, whether they're a car enthusiast or your average driver: Ford. Having been the original pioneer of American automation, the Ford brand continues to lead the industry every day. Because of this deep history of leadership and commitment to excellence, Fords are great vehicles, and a new Ford is a very exciting prospect. But for those of you who are looking to purchase a vehicle from one of America’s favorite brands while saving money, Ford is one of the best brands from which to purchase a used vehicle.
If you're now wondering, “Is there a used Ford dealer near me?” The answer is yes. Used Ford models can be found right here at Newton Ford South! We know the ins and outs of Ford’s vehicles, so we can point you to the model that is just right for you and your needs. Buying a new Ford is certainly exciting, but buying a used Ford can be even more exciting because it opens up the door to a whole lineup of excellent models from the last couple of years. Ford is not only known for its automotive excellence but also its rich history, and you could be a part of that!
So, what makes Ford such a great brand? Is it the engineering? The amazing design? The technology? Or is it the history? The answer is all of the above. Ford’s history is what drives it to continue pursuing excellence and progress year after year. There’s a common saying that if Henry Ford had asked his first customers how he could make transportation easier, they would have asked for a faster horse. The idea of an automobile was not something Ford’s first customers even knew they needed. Look at any American highway right now, and you’ll see how influential Ford’s solution to that unknown problem was (and continues to be). This is how Ford continues to operate; they stay one step ahead of the industry, solving problems that we don’t even know we have yet.
Ford has been firmly established in the United States for almost 120 years. Henry Ford invented his first vehicle before the turn of the 20th century, and by 1903 he had started the Ford Motor Company. Brands don’t stay around for 120 years unless they have something special. Many brands have started and ended within the scope of a decade, but 120 years means their vehicles continue to satisfy the needs of drivers across the world.

When it comes to buying a used Ford, there are so many options to choose from. First, you must begin by identifying what type of vehicle you want. Ford offers trucks, SUVs, vans, sedans, sports cars, and even race cars. Once you’ve decided upon a vehicle type, we can start talking specifics about the model, year, and so on.
If you’re looking for a truck, the F-150 is a classic that continues to be America’s favorite pickup year after year; it’s strong, durable, high-performing, well-designed, and fun. For those looking for a truck that can tackle the challenges of the job site, Ford also offers the Super Duty F-250 and F-350, with unparalleled towing capacity and the ability to carry massive payloads. If you're in the market for a pickup that's not as monstrous, there is also the mid-size option of the Ford Ranger, which balances exceptional power in more maneuverable size.
If you're looking for a reliable and spacious SUV, Ford offers all different kinds, ranging from compact SUVs to full-size models. If you’re looking for something small and compact, the Ecosport and the Escape are both worthy options. The Ecosport focuses on efficiency and is perfect for those seeking to keep fuel bills down while still taking advantage of all the perks of a pickup. If you want to get a little bit bigger, the Explorer is a great mid-size SUV with an adventurous flare and off-roading packages for those who like to venture off the pavement. The big dog of Ford’s SUV lineup is the Expedition, which is perfect for families, providing seating for up to eight passengers.
When it comes to sedans and compact cars, the Ford Fusion is a great used option for those seeking a reliable commuter that is fuel efficient; however, keep in mind that this model was discontinued in 2020. For those who have always had the dream, a used Mustang is a great way to get behind the wheel of one of the most acclaimed vehicles in history at an affordable price. That iconic horse has been running for decades, and it’s ready to have you climb on its back and feel the wind in your hair. Whatever vehicle piques your interest, we can find a way to make it happen for you. We don’t just want you to have a good vehicle; we want you to have a great one. That is why we offer both standard used, as well as Gold and Blue Certified vehicles.

Every used vehicle that comes through our lot undergoes careful examination, but some undergo a special, more extensive one. Ford Gold and Blue Certified vehicles adhere to much stricter guidelines when compared to the traditional used models. For Gold Certified status, they must be models from the last five model years and have less than 80,000 miles on their odometer. They undergo a 172-point inspection that covers everything from the engine, tires and brakes, interior condition, and undercarriage.
For Blue Certified vehicles, their guidelines are a little broader, having to be within the last nine model years, as well as fewer than 120,000 on the odometer, and the inspection covers a 139-point checklist. Both certified categories come with varying comprehensive limited warranty coverages, roadside assistance, and FordPass reward points. Gold Certified vehicles tend to offer the most coverage, while Blue Certified vehicles offer less extensive coverage. Both certifications and their benefits are all part of the Ford Blue Advantage, which is a program designed to offer only the best in used Ford vehicles.
