Take the guesswork out of buying a used car and purchase a certified pre-owned vehicle. We only certify vehicles that have passed a rigorous inspection process designed to test every aspect of a vehicle to verify it meets our standards.

Before you purchase a certified pre-owned vehicle, we'll provide you with the vehicle's history report. Along with extensive warranty coverage* and 24/7 roadside assistance backed by Ford Motor Company and our 100-year heritage, you'll know you've made the right choice.To qualify for Certified Pre-Owned status, each used Ford must be less than six model years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Then before we certify any Ford pre-owned vehicle, it must first pass a rigorous 169 point-by-point exam. All our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with extensive warranty coverage*. and 24-hour roadside assistance. And to top it off, your dealer provides a full tank of gas, new wiper blades, and fresh oil and filter at delivery.

*See your sales specialist for limited warranty coverage details and more information about the right certified pre-owned vehicle for you.

Detailed Description - CPO Program Changes, Effective 4/02/08

Vehicle Eligibility Increase - Model Year and Mileage (Including Super Duty)

• Vehicle model year eligibility has been expanded to include current and/or five previous models years. For example, with effect from April 2, 2008, model years eligible for certification will include 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

• Like other Ford CPO models, these models will include a 6-year / 100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a 3-month / 3,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty
  
• These vehicles are subject to the same eligibility requirements as identified on the back of the Limited Warranty Statement. For example, Super Duty vehicles geared toward commercial use such as, but not limited to, chassis cab and stripped chassis, are not eligible.
  
  Vehicle Inspection Process: Inspection Points Added
  
  
• A new competitive inspection process that includes up to 169-points has been established for the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury CPO programs.
  
• All points will not be applicable to all vehicles as they are for hi-tech items (power lift gate, rear-view camera system, deployable running boards, navigation system, etc.), as well as for diesel, convertible and hybrid vehicles.
  
• Vehicle Warranty - Ford and Mercury Vehicles: 6/100,000 Powertrain Extended to all Model Years
  
• All eligible Ford and Mercury CPO vehicles will include a 6-year / 100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty
  
• In addition, all eligible Ford and Mercury CPO vehicles will include a 3-month / 3,000-mile Limited Comprehensive (PremiumCare) Warranty
  
• The comprehensive warranty is registered only after the vehicle sale information is reported in the CPO dealer administrative web site.
  
• Note - those vehicles with at least 3-months and 3,000-miles left on the new vehicle limited warranty will not have the 3-month / 3,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty contract registered as the remaining new vehicle warranty will already provide this coverage.
