Thinking about buying a Ford, but just can’t afford the new car prices or insurance rates? Fear, not – you can still head down to your Texas Ford dealer and pick out a great used vehicle. We’re not just saying that – we have the proof to back it up. You see, every pre-owned vehicle comes with a thorough certified pre-owned program, essentially guaranteeing that drivers will have peace of mind in case they worry about anything going wrong after purchase.
Here’s a look at some of the highlights of the program and why you won’t have to worry if you purchase a used Ford car or truck:
Overview: Each comes with a 172-point inspection to ensure it’s in tip-top shape before it even leaves the lot. Once it does, you’ll get 24-hour roadside service as well as a vehicle history report and warranty coverage regarding the powertrain and comprehensive for anything that might happen down the road.
Here’s a look at some of the specifics:
- Inspection: As we told you in the overview, each has to take and pass a complete 172-point inspection in order to even be certified as a pre-owned vehicle. This inspection includes the likes of the hybrid components, under-the-hood components, diagnostics and more. If any one of the 172 points fail during the inspection, they’ll either have to be replaced or repaired before it can be certified.
- Warranty: Every pre-owned certified vehicle comes with a one-year, or 12,000 mile comprehensive warranty that covers more than 500 vehicle components. Aspects that are covered include the engine, transmission, steering, AC and heating units, brakes, electrical components and rear and front wheel drives. That’s a warranty that gives the new owner of a pre-owned certified car a lot of peace of mind.
- Other: There are a bevy of other variables to the Ford Certified Pre-Owned Program that are worth noting. The comprehensive warranty also covers new owners from a safety perspective as well, for up to one-year or 12,000 miles from the date of purchase. New pre-owned owners are also eligible for roadside assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week for additional peace of mind. Other available services for additional purchase include towing, travel expense reimbursement, tire change services and lockout service and assistance.
So if you’re concerned about the quality of vehicle you’ll get if you buy used – you won’t have to worry if you buy a Ford. The program is designed to ensure that you’re getting the best quality vehicle for your dollar.
