Why Are Ford Certified Pre-Owned Cars so Much More Expensive Than Used Cars?

If you have been browsing used cars at Helfman Ford or on our website, you may have noticed that the Ford Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models have a higher price tag than standard used cars. The CPO label is more than just a fancy sticker; Ford cars that are in the Ford Certified Pre-Owned program have undergone a rigorous inspection and include a long list of additional benefits. Here is why Ford Certified Pre-Owned cars are such a great value, even at their increased price.
Rigorous 172-Point Inspection
Before they can become officially Certified, a used Ford car must undergo an intensive 172-point inspection by a Ford-trained technician. The inspection covers but is not limited to:
- Engine and Transmission: Ensures these vital components are in top condition for years to come.
- Interior and Exterior: The technician looks for any cosmetic damage and ensures that all features function properly.
- Brakes and Suspension: Inspects for wear and tear and ensures optimal safety and performance.
- Vehicle History: A thorough vehicle history report is reviewed to ensure that there are no hidden issues.
Additional Benefits
The comprehensive inspection isn’t the only benefit of buying CPO Ford cars:
- Warranty: Ford CPO vehicles come with a 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty and a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
- Rental Car Reimbursement: If your CPO car needs warranty repairs, you’ll receive a reimbursement for a rental car.
- Roadside Assistance: 24/7 roadside assistance is included, giving you extra reassurance every time you hit the road.
