What Separates a Certified Pre-Owned Ford From a Used Model?

To earn a spot in our Certified Pre-Owned Ford inventory, a vehicle must meet age and mileage specifications. Each one undergoes a rigorous inspection and is backed by impressive warranties. Used cars don’t offer these benefits. Head over to Ford of Cookeville to explore our inventory.

Certified Pre-Owned Ford Models vs. Used Cars

Any vehicle that has at least one previous owner is considered a used car. It doesn’t matter how old it is or how many miles its odometer shows, and unfortunately, the condition of its key systems and design features doesn’t really matter either. However, Certified Pre-Owned Ford models must satisfy a long list of criteria to earn any of the three available certifications.

Three Different Certifications

Certified Pre-Owned Ford models all undergo a thorough inspection and come with a money-back guarantee. Plus, you’ll get a genuine CARFAX® Vehicle History Report. There are three different certification levels:

• Gold Certified. The car must pass a 172-point inspection, be no more than six model years old, and have less than 80,000 miles. It’s backed by a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive warranty and a 7-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the original in-service date
• EV Certified. This is similar to Gold Certified, but instead of a powertrain warranty, it comes with an 8-year or 100,000-mile BaseCARE EV limited warranty. The inspection is also only 127 points.
• Blue Certified. Vehicles must pass a 139-point inspection, be ten years old or younger, and have less than 150,000 miles. The comprehensive warranty lasts 90 days or 4,000 miles.

The certifications also come with complimentary roadside assistance, Ford Rewards, and a SiriusXM® trial. We’ll walk you through all the benefits when you pick out your favorite model.
