Enjoy Our Selection of Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

If you're not sure whether you want to enjoy the fantastic value of a used model or opt for the peace of mind and modern features of a new one, you might want to consider our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) selection.

A Smart Middle Ground Between New and Used

Offering a middle ground between the two, CPO models are gently used vehicles held to very high quality standards and backed by factory warranty coverage to give you peace of mind on the road.

Our Ford CPO system has two levels: Gold Certified and Blue Certified. Only Ford models are eligible for Gold certification, and they must meet strict age and mileage requirements. Vehicles of any make and model can be Blue Certified, as long as they meet the laxer but still firm age and mileage standards for this level.

All of our CPO models undergo a rigorous inspection and background check, and they come with warranty coverage and extra perks like roadside assistance.
