There isn’t much you can’t do with an SUV. It’s the perfect combination of comfort and utility, and when you shop at a certified used SUV dealer like DePaula Ford, you get all of that without paying a luxury price tag. At DePaula Ford, you can find a great selection of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) SUVs for sale. Plus, with Ford’s CPO program, you know that quality is never in question.
Since the early years of Ford, the focus has been to create vehicles that were available to everyone. The Model T, one of the most recognized and valued cars in the world, offered a high-class luxury to everyday Joes. It was this sort of mindset that showed Ford was in it for the people, and these values have continued to endure. Henry Ford was a true innovator, always working to improve, and it was through this hard work that he revolutionized the automotive industry. Ford changed the way vehicles were manufactured by introducing an integrated moving assembly line.
This genius and creativity allowed Ford to continue producing quality, reliable vehicles but at a more affordable price point. Ford valued those who helped make it all possible and once again proved he put people above all else by making drastic improvements to his workforce. He significantly increased employee pay and reduced the typical workday to make sure he wasn’t just producing great vehicles but also happy employees. Many of Ford’s employees chose to drive Ford vehicles, further cementing his positive impact on their lives.
Ford continued to show passion for the automotive industry and for the people, and these values still hold weight today. As a Certified Ford dealer, we are held to the same standards as Ford held himself. That’s why when you come to DePaula Ford, you know you will get the legendary Ford experience. One such way we demonstrate Ford’s ideals is by offering a CPO program designed to do exactly what the Model T did… make luxury vehicles for the average Joe.
The Certified Pre-Owned Program offered by Ford offers like-new Ford models for reasonable prices. Ford's CPO program, called Blue Advantage, has two tiers. Select vehicles are chosen to be identified as Gold Certified Fords. To be chosen as a Gold Certified Ford, the vehicle cannot have more than 80,000 miles of enjoyment and must be less than six years old. Although Fords are incredibly sturdy vehicles, we only choose models within the last six years to ensure you get the most up-to-date tech possible without tipping that new car scale.
Once a vehicle has met these requirements, it then undergoes extensive scrutiny by our team of Ford specialists. A full history of the vehicle is examined, determining if it’s ever been in an accident, if it was maintained properly, etc. Of course, to be extra safe, our technicians get in there themselves and drive it to see if there are any red flags. This offers a chance to see what the vehicle is really made of and how it was treated.
An in-depth inspection is also performed. It is a 172-point inspection that covers every major or minor potential issue. Everything is well documented so that the experience is as transparent as possible. Once the inspection is complete, any repair work is performed before it gets a thorough shine inside and out.
Included with the Gold Certified tier are some warranties for peace of mind. A 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty makes sure you are protected against any unexpected circumstance. Plus, with the addition of other features like twenty-four-seven roadside assistance, you gain extra peace of mind. You'll also have a seven-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
Furthermore, Ford doesn’t just cover Ford. With Blue Certified, you can get a different brand of vehicle but with similar Ford backing. To be Certified Blue, a vehicle can’t be more than ten years old or have over 120,000 miles. A thorough 139-point inspection checks everything you could possibly worry about, and repairs are performed to make sure you get it working like new. These vehicles also undergo a background check, so you know the history of your like-new vehicle. As a Blue Certified Ford vehicle, each vehicle gets a 90-day or 4,000-mile limited warranty once it passes the rigorous testing. So, whether you choose Gold or Blue, Ford has your back. What’s better than that?
More than a hundred years of production means more than a hundred years of vehicles designed to blow you away. While Ford is often known for being a truck manufacturer, there is no rivaling the line-up of Ford SUVs. Many of these SUVs have been around for more than fifty years and have only gotten better with time.
The Bronco is an iconic vehicle designed to be everything you need without being anything you don’t. Built to be the perfect utility vehicle, there isn’t much the Bronco can’t do. Originating in the sixties, the Bronco answered many people’s needs by offering flexibility.
Fast-forward, and the Ford Bronco is still delivering mutability. Change from family daily driver to off-road adventurer with ease. With the Bronco, there is no sacrificing because you can get all the elements you need and want. You can get cargo room, cabin space, comfort, luxury, off-road ruggedness, performance, and so much more.
Entering the Ford world a bit later than the Bronco didn’t stop the Explorer from stealing some of the limelight. A powerhouse on wheels, the Explorer lives up to its name and offers you endless exploration capabilities for the whole family. A sizable cabin means plenty of space for a large family. Plus, the Explorer is known for offering comforts to please the whole crew, so long drives are enjoyable for everyone.
The Explorer can definitely hold its own as a daily driver, but it truly shines as a workhorse who likes adventure. Bumped-up towing allows you to get down to business or bring along the big toys to experience the great outdoors. Loaded with towing assistance features, safety tech, and more, you will feel totally confident pushing the limits.
A compact SUV, the Escape fits its name. Entering the scene in the last twenty or so years, the Escape focuses more on everyday driving, comforts, and luxuries than off-road prowess. SUVs are known for being able to tow, go off-road, and be spacious, but over the years, they have also become known for allowing their drivers extra comforts and conveniences. The Escape is a great example of this, with indulgences from trim to trim.
The Escape is small enough to easily maneuver but large enough to drive friends or family in comfort. Commute in comfort and save on gas when you drive this fuel-efficient SUV. This is what a vehicle should be. The list doesn’t end here either, with fantastic SUVs like the Expedition and EcoSport making waves. Whichever SUV you choose, you can feel confident knowing it is backed by Ford.
