All About the Ford Certified Pre-Owned Program

Purchasing a pre-owned Ford can be a huge decision for any potential car buyer. No matter what type of vehicle you’re searching for, you’ll want to make sure your ride meets all the necessary standards for safety and performance before you drive it off the lot. At Brewster Ford, we want you to feel comfortable with whichever vehicle you pick. Read on to learn more about Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program and how it can keep you driving forward.

What Is the Ford Certified Pre-Owned Program?

With Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned program, you know that your used vehicle won’t let you down. Before earning the CPO designation, every Ford car, truck, SUV, and crossover undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets strict standards for performance, safety, and drivability. No matter which certified Ford vehicle you choose, you know you’re getting the quality you deserve.

But your coverage doesn’t stop when you drive off the lot. You’ll get ongoing protection through warranty, service, and roadside assistance options with Ford’s CPO program. We want you to enjoy your ride for life, and this program is a great way to make sure you’re always covered.

What are the benefits of buying a Ford CPO Vehicle?

There are many benefits built into Ford’s CPO program, including:

172-Point Inspection

While some used vehicles may get a bad reputation, you won’t have to worry when you buy with Ford. Every CPO vehicle passes a strict inspection that evaluates each ride’s function, safety, and mechanical ability. Your Ford dealer won’t take this inspection lightly, as factory-trained Ford technicians will inspect your vehicle.

If any issues arise, your skilled technicians will recondition any part of the vehicle that doesn’t meet standards. They may also replace old or damaged parts with new, certified Ford replacements. Want more information? No problem. You can always ask your technician for a full report of the inspection findings. We’re here to give you as much information as possible before you commit to any Ford option.

Vehicle History Report

In addition to a comprehensive inspection, you can rest assured that your certified Ford technicians have painstakingly combed your vehicle’s history. They’ll note any previous crashes, issues, or other concerns, ultimately rejecting any vehicles that don’t meet standards. Before you buy, we’ll happily provide you with a copy of this report for your records. Make sure you’re comfortable with your vehicle’s past before taking it into the future.

Warranty

When you buy a CPO vehicle from Ford, you get 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty coverage to help you manage any issues within your first months of driving. You’ll also get 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty coverage to keep you protected for the long haul. With additional service plans and options available, you’ll surely find the coverage you need with your pre-owned Ford.

Roadside Assistance

During your limited warranty coverage period, you’ll also get full, 24-hour roadside assistance in the case of breakdown, blowout, or weather issues. This includes a travel expense reimbursement of up to $500 for any lodging, meals, or rental costs. You’ll also get up to $75 to cover any taxis, shuttles, or rental vehicles you need to get you to your destination and $30 a day for up to five days for overnight vehicle repairs. With this comprehensive plan, you’ll be able to take on the unknown without worry.

CPO Coverage and Service

If you’d like to protect your investment further, you can opt for some additional warranty offerings through the Ford CPO program. When you add the additional Ford protect extended service plan, for example, you can add even more coverage to your vehicle regarding time, mileage, and covered components. But no matter how much coverage you select, you’ll always have quality service and parts options available at your local dealership.

When your potential vehicle goes through its inspection process, you know that you’ll only get the best quality Ford parts. If the vehicle needs any replacements or updates, you’ll receive genuine Ford Motorcraft or Ford-authorized remanufactured parts. When it comes time for service or maintenance, our service center will treat your CPO vehicle with respect it deserves.

Financing Your Ford Vehicle
