Video Summary

Whether a certified pre-owned Ford is worth it depends on the tier and the vehicle. Ford Blue Advantage has three tiers, Gold Certified, EV Certified and Blue Certified, each with its own standards and coverage. Gold Certified covers qualifying Fords up to six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles that pass a 172-point inspection. It includes a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and a 7-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, whichever comes first in each case. EV Certified is for fully electric Fords under six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles that pass a 127-point inspection. Ford lists a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, whichever comes first, plus 8-year or 100,000-mile BaseCARE EV limited warranty coverage. Blue Certified uses a 139-point inspection and its own program terms, so ask exactly what coverage comes with the vehicle you're considering. Gold Certified vehicles also come with a Money Back Guarantee of 14 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first, at participating Ford dealers; program terms apply. When you shop, check the tier on the listing, compare year, trim, miles and drivetrain, and read the warranty and roadside documents for that exact vehicle.
