Quick answer: is Ford certified pre-owned worth it?

Usually yes for Fords up to 6 years old with under 80,000 miles (Gold Certified), especially if you will keep the vehicle several years. Blue Certified is a good value for older or non-Ford vehicles. For older, high-mileage vehicles, a non-certified used vehicle may be the better value.

Is Certification Worth Paying For? An Honest Breakdown

Certified vehicles usually cost more than comparable non-certified used vehicles, so the question is whether the coverage and inspection are worth the difference for you. Certification tends to pay off when:

  • You are buying a late-model Ford truck or SUV and plan to keep it beyond the original factory warranty.
  • You want powertrain protection on the engine and transmission, the most expensive repairs on any vehicle.
  • You value a documented inspection, a CARFAX report and a Money Back Guarantee for peace of mind.

It may be less important if you are buying an older vehicle on a tight budget, plan to trade in within a year or two, or already plan to add a Ford Protect extended service plan. In those cases, our vehicles under $25K and pre-owned specials are worth comparing. Our sales team will show you the certified and non-certified options side by side so you can decide.
