Information about previous issues, repairs,or service schedules can help you make the decision between multiple vehicles. Some pre-owned vehicles still have factory warranties that follow them.

Why Certified Pre-Owned
Many car manufacturers, including Ford, have programs that guarantee the quality of certain pre-owned vehicles. With a certified pre-owned vehicle you can buy with confidence knowing that the vehicle you are purchasing has been thoroughly inspected. Ford’s certified pre-owned program requires that vehicles be put through a rigorous 172 point quality checklist. The vehicle’s history is researched to verify service records, recalls, incidents of accidents, and that emissions standards are met.

The interior and the exterior of the car are inspected for signs of abnormal wear and tear.The exterior inspection checks more than the appearance of the vehicle. Doors, windows, hood, and trunk or cargo hatch are checked for proper functionality. Inspected interior features include, but are not limited to, driver assistance systems, seatbelts, airbags, the instrument panel, door locks, door handles, mirrors, the carpet, interior lights, and seating.

All of the fluids are checked. Hoses and reservoirs are checked to verify there are no leaks in the systems. The mechanical systems are given a thorough inspection to ensure proper working order.

A road test is performed. During the road test, inspectors listen for noises when shifting as well as squeaks and rattles from the suspension system.
