If you’re interested in purchasing a Ford vehicle in the New Year, you may find yourself looking into pre-owned models as well as new ones. If you do go the pre-owned route, you must decide if you’d like a traditional used Ford or Ford Blue Advantage model, formerly Ford Certified Pre-Owned. What’s the difference? The professionals at Bill Colwell Ford can explain!
What Is a Ford Blue Advantage Vehicle?
Like traditional used models, Ford Blue Advantage vehicles are pre-owned. The difference is that the models must fit certain standards, and they offer a handful of great benefits. There are two different programs, Gold Certified and Blue Certified, and their main differentiators are as follows:
Gold Certified
- Less than six years old
- Less than 80,000 miles
- Pass 172-point inspection
- 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive warranty
- Seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty
- FordPass Rewards points
Blue Certified
- Less than 10 years old
- Less than 120,000 miles
- Pass 139-point inspection
- 90-day/4,000-mile limited warranty
- 11,000 FordPass Rewards points toward first maintenance visit
Both types also come with the assurance of 24/7 roadside assistance. Gold Certified vehicles are covered for seven years/100,000 miles, and Blue Certified vehicles are covered for 90 days/4,000 miles.
