As you begin your car-buying journey, you're trying to decide which type of vehicle is best for your budget and your lifestyle. You've come across certified pre-owned (CPO) models a time or two and want to learn more. Well, you've landed in the right spot.
Our team at O.C. Welch Ford is here to help Hardeeville, Beaufort, Port Royal, and Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, drivers learn more about CPO models and their benefits. Let's get started!
Used and certified pre-owned cars are both previously owned vehicles. However, CPO cars are a little more involved than typical used vehicles. For starters, CPO vehicles must pass a detailed inspection before being certified and sold. Also, only certain vehicles can be CPO candidates, whereas any car can be considered used.
Certified models often grant drivers ownership perks, like comprehensive limited warranty coverage and FordPass™ Rewards Points eligibility. Plus, CPO vehicles come with a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ to ensure their reliability. The same isn't always the case for used models.
 Ford Blue Advantage is Ford's CPO program! It features two levels of certification: Blue Certified and Gold Certified. Let's detail their differences below.
First up is Blue Certified. This certification is available for any make and model that is up to ten years old and has less than 120,000 miles on the odometer. In order to be certified, a candidate must pass a 139-point inspection. If it passes, drivers can enjoy the following Blue Certified perks:
Gold Certified is Ford's second certification level, which is exclusive to Ford models that are six years old or younger and have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. These candidates must pass a detailed 172-point inspection. If they pass, these Gold Certified perks are included:
