There are two types of previously-owned Ford vehicles to pick from when you’re shopping for your next model: used and certified pre-owned (CPO). Today, we’re going over the merits of CPO and used Ford vehicles so you can figure out which is right for you.

Why Buy a Used Ford?  

When you opt for a used Ford, you will immediately save tons of money compared to a new model. Depending on the vehicle you go with, this could end up being the difference of several thousand dollars. As a result, you may have the funds you need to purchase a vehicle outright.

However, even if you will need to take out a loan, a used model will reduce the amount you will have to borrow, which will decrease both your down payment and monthly payments. 

Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Ford? 

In addition to saving you money, there are many other reasons to consider a CPO Ford. For one thing, these models can’t be older than six years old or have more than 80,000 miles on their odometers. Also, they need to pass a 172-point inspection in order to be called “certified.”

CPO Ford vehicles also come with a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. On top of that, you will also get 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for the duration of the seven-year warranty, as well as a three-month free trial of SiriusXM® satellite radio.
