Millions of people will look for a used Ford for sale this year. Many of them will be stern in their decision to buy certified Ford used cars. Ford’s Blue Advantage program breaks certified models down by Gold or Blue certified and really gives certified used buyers an edge.

Ford Dealership near Me

Sarasota Ford is a Ford dealer that always maintains a large inventory of certified models. Like everything else Ford does, its certification process is a superhuman effort to reward people who buy low-mileage, high-caliber CPO models. If you choose us as your Ford dealer, you’ll enjoy all the following advantages to your CPO buy.

Go for the Gold

Gold-certified Ford cars are the highest caliber of used vehicles that you can buy. They are meticulously inspected and re-conditioned before going up for sale and have been deemed high enough quality to be sold with additional perks. Gold-certified Ford vehicles come with:

  • A full 172-point inspection
  • 22,000 FordPass Rewards points
  • 24/7 roadside assistance to owners
  • Under 80,000 miles

These are the top-of-the-line certified pre-owned vehicles that Ford personally stamps with their highest seal of approval. You’ll also enjoy extended warranty advantages to cover your purchase for longer than the traditional 100,000 miles.

Blue Certified

A second option comes for usually less expensive Ford models. If your model is Blue Certified, you can buy with confidence. The model must be 10 years of age or younger and have less than 120,000 miles on it. You’ll grab 11,000 FordPass Reward points with this model, too, and this can be applied to your first auto shop visit.

Extra Peace of Mind

Certified used vehicles undergo stricter inspections and come with higher expectations. Ford doesn’t arbitrarily label models Gold or Blue for no reason. They must adhere to a very strict set of standards and not deviate from those in any way. Our dealership double checks everything and makes sure the model we’re selling falls into the very narrow standards of these models.

Customers who shop certified pre-owned from Ford drive away with extra peace of mind this year. For Gold models, you’re under warranty for a long time, and for Blue Certified, you get a very generous additional warranty and points toward maintenance routines. Everyone shopping for a used vehicle this year should at least consider buying a Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned model. Yes, you’ll pay a little more for your vehicle, but you’ll also get a meaningful array of perks and a vehicle that is less used and in better shape.
