How Do Used Ford Cars Compare to CPO Models?

If you’re interested in finding a well-rounded selection of used Ford cars in Kentucky, visit O'Brien Ford of Shelbyville. We offer quality used models and pre-owned vehicle specials along with first-rate certified pre-owned Ford models. Discover the advantages of buying used or certified pre-owned at our dealership in Shelbyville. 

Benefits of Buying Used 

Purchasing a used Ford Escape from our Ford dealership comes with a number of benefits. The most recognizable benefit is the ability to get the most out of your investment. Used models are priced affordably and generally require less money up front and on a monthly basis. Buying used also allows you to skip the steep and rapid depreciation that new cars experience. 

 

As an added bonus, this affordability doesn’t come at the expense of quality or variety. Buying used is a great way to obtain a Ford model that you’ve had your eye on, especially if you find a recent or near-new model complete with all the features on your wish-list.  

 

Plus, if you’re open to a wider search based on your most important buying criteria, you may find yourself choosing between numerous options that come with one-of-a-kind features. Browse our used inventory and let our Ford dealers know if you’d like to schedule a test drive with a few models. 

 

What to Know About Certified Pre-Owned Models 

We monitor and vet all of the used vehicles at our Ford dealership for quality. However, certified pre-owned (CPO) models come with an extra stamp of approval.

 

These models must meet base age and mileage requirements from the manufacturer and pass a detailed multi-point inspection. These series of tests determine whether a vehicle meets physical and mechanical standards. As a result, CPO models are near-new and backed by manufacturer approval and numerous owner benefits. 

 

Our local Kentucky Ford dealers are happy to explain the differences and advantages of both used car buying options. Connect with us online or stop by in person to start the process of taking home a new-to-you model you love. We look forward to seeing you soon!
