Choosing a Ford CPO vehicle means accessing manufacturer-backed quality, but knowing what to ask during your search makes all the difference in finding the right vehicle. At Folsom Lake Ford, we help Sacramento-area drivers understand Ford Blue Advantage™ inspection standards and warranty coverage. Here are some of the most common questions we field about CPO models.
What Inspection Points Does Ford Blue Advantage™ Cover?
Every Ford CPO vehicle undergoes a comprehensive 172-point inspection by Ford-trained technicians. This checklist covers brake pads, transmission fluid, and other critical components, and ensures each model meets Ford’s exacting standards before reaching our lot.
What’s the Difference Between Blue and Gold Certification?
Ford Blue Advantage offers two tiers. Blue Certified vehicles are 10 years old or newer with under 150,000 miles, while Gold Certified models are six years old or newer with under 80,000 miles. Ask which tier your Ford CPO candidate qualifies for, as Gold Certified includes enhanced warranty coverage.
Which Warranty Protections Come Standard?
The Ford CPO warranty extends beyond original factory protection, adding 12 months or 12,000 miles of comprehensive coverage plus seven years or 100,000 miles of powertrain protection. Ask us about specific component coverage, deductible amounts, and the benefits of the included 24/7 roadside assistance.
How Does Vehicle History Affect Certification?
Not every pre-owned Ford qualifies for certification. The Ford CPO program requires clean titles with no structural damage, flood exposure, or mileage discrepancies. Ask to review the vehicle history report showing ownership records and accident involvement.
What Financing Advantages Are Available?
Many Ford CPO vehicles qualify for special Ford Credit rates unavailable on standard pre-owned models, potentially saving thousands over your loan term. Our team can give you more details about current rates and additional incentives for certified vehicles.
