Ford Certified Pre-Owned

Certified Pre-Owned Ford Explorer
Do you find it hard to decide whether it’s more beneficial to purchase a new or used vehicle? There are merits to both of these options, which may be complicating your search for another car. Although you can simply choose one or the other, there is a way to get the best of both worlds when you visit a Ford-certified pre-owned dealer like us! Sarasota Ford is proud to act as a locally-operated dealership that also acts as an extension of an iconic automaker. Being a certified Ford dealer gives you not only the perks of exceptional service and special offers, but also the choice to check out some CPO models. These vehicles differ from our standard pre-owned ones for plenty of reasons, with each one also acting as an incentive to consider financing one. Certified Ford used cars have a much more rigorous checklist they need to adhere to in order to be considered for this program. Limitations on age ensure that these models are not permitted to be any older than six years from the current model date. However, there’s a requirement stating that a Ford-certified pre-owned model must also have under 80,000 miles on the odometer. As a result, many of these vehicles don’t even exceed two or three years in age and still have their original warranty intact. It’s even more unlikely you’ll encounter any issues with certified pre-owned cars because they’re also subjected to a much more thorough examination. A powertrain inspection is routine for any of our used models, but Ford requires their CPO vehicles to pass a much more extensive 172-point check. This process even involves a reconditioning process to address any wear and tear that may have occurred from past owners. In addition, you’ll have the added coverage of a warranty and roadside assistance in the off chance you encounter any issues after your purchase. It’s easy to imagine that a modern vehicle with a certificate to prove its reliability will require you to put quite a few dollars down. But, these models are listed at only a fraction of the cost of a new one, despite their similarities. There are even offers through Ford Credit for those who qualify when they choose to purchase or finance a Ford-certified pre-owned SUV. To learn more, simply head over and see us or send us a message online whenever you have some time. Our CPO selection is just one of many things that set us apart from other automotive sources in the area. We’re committed to serving a diverse range of clientele, no matter their budget, lifestyle, or any other factors. You can expect us to adapt to your desires with effortless precision to ensure you leave feeling satisfied. You’re welcome to begin checking out some of our Ford-certified pre-owned cars on our website if you want to know which models we have available. Someone is also here to help you any day of the week if you have some time off work this weekend. Whenever you’re prepared to track down your ideal vehicle, come and see us at 707 S Washington Blvd., Sarasota, FL 34236.

Certified Pre-Owned Ford FL

Ford's pre-owned advantages are so good they color-coded them. You'll find two different certifications to choose from - Gold and Blue - both under Ford's careful hand. Sarasota Ford keeps the certified pre-owned Ford FL that customers ask for. Our policy is always quality. We invite everyone to learn more about our certified pre-owned inventory here in Florida. Low Mileage and Modern Certified pre-owned Ford FL models must meet requirements that regular used inventory doesn't have to meet. It doesn't always mean that the regular inventory is any less valuable for its time and condition. It just means that people who make used vehicle decisions based on mileage and modernity will find CPO models a more comfortable buy. Lower Miles Ford's Gold and Blue certified models must come in under a certain mileage, with Gold models having lower miles than blue models. Each has an impressively lower number of miles on them compared to regular used inventory at our dealership. For Ford trucks that normally run over 250,000 miles in a lifetime, this isn't always as important to people, but the lower the mileage, the more time you usually have to get the most performance out of a vehicle. Thorough Inspections A CPO vehicle from Sarasota Ford gets inspections on every imaginable component. Gold and Blue get a varying number of inspection points, but they're both significantly higher than regular used models. If you buy CPO, you're correct in your belief that a true factory-trained and certified mechanic has inspected your vehicle. If it's a gold certified, the inspection points are the highest they can possibly be. Modernity If contemporary features like unique leather interiors, connected tech, and driver-assist features are tops on your wish list, a certified pre-owned model is more suited to your style. They need to fall within a modern range of model year and have under a certain mileage, so there's a cap on how old they can be. Since modern tech and features have been around since before the current-gen, you can rest assured that your model will likely have features like automatic emergency braking, 7-inch or higher infotainment systems, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto functionality. Dynamic voice recognition is another favorite of our customers. CPO models usually have these features. Pick Out your Favorites Sarasota Ford invites you to pick out your favorite CPO vehicles today from our large collection. Let us know which ones you're serious about and want to test drive for yourself. If you'd like to skip the trip to our dealership, just let us know the model you'd like us to bring to you.
