Ford of Ocala, the leading dealership for new, pre-owned Ford vehicles, parts and services in Ocala, Florida, is excited to announce changes to the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury-Certified Pre-owned (CPO) programs. The changes have been made to re-energize the programs and make them more competitive in the market. The changes are effective from April 2, 2008.

The features of these programs are:

• Improved warranty coverage - expanding 6yr/100,000 mile coverage to all eligible vehicles plus 3 month/3,000 mile comprehensive from date of sale for Ford and Mercury


• Updated vehicle inspection points


• Expanded vehicle eligibility - a wider range of age and mileage options Super Duty - yes, Super Duty is being added to the program
  

Summary - CPO Program Changes, Effective 4/2/2008

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.
  
• Vehicle mileage eligibility has increased to include vehicles with less than 80,000 miles
  
  Vehicle Eligibility - Super Duty Added to Program for Ford Dealers
  
  
• Ford dealers will be able to certify E-250, E-350, F-250 and F-350 vehicles.
  
• 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.
