Which TierIs Right for You?

Good question, let’s discuss. The main differences are in age, mileage, and warranty. These levels offer various benefits that can affect your choice. Choosing between Ford Blue, EV, and Gold Certified depends on your budget, the age of the car you want, and how much protection you need. Each level offers its own benefits, suited to different lifestyles and needs.

The Gold Certified program offers a top-notch experience. It’s Ford’s premium certification for high-quality vehicles, with added protection and peace of mind. If you’re wary of buying a pre-owned vehicle, it offers the most well-inspected, high-quality options so you can shop with confidence.

Every Gold Certified vehicle undergoes a strict, comprehensive 172-point inspection to ensure it meets Ford’s quality standards. This includes:

• Detailed mechanical system checks.
• Comprehensive exterior and interior evaluations.
• Advanced diagnostic computer assessments.
• Thorough performance and safety verifications.

It also comes with unmatched warranty protection, which includes:

• 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty.
• 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
• 24/7 Roadside Assistance.

Gold Certified Ford vehicles meet the highest quality and reliability standards in Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned lineup and come with a wide range of perks and benefits, making them an overall excellent choice.

While Ford Blue Certified vehicles don’t have as strict requirements as the Gold Certified tier, they are still heavily vetted and thoroughly inspected to offer peace of mind. Blue Certified vehicles are typically more affordable, older models that have gone through a rigorous 139-point inspection to prove they’re in top shape. They include similar perks and advantages to the Gold Certified tier, including a full history report so you can know exactly what you’re getting into.
