Blue Advantage Certified Vehicle (review warranty)

The Blue Advantage Certified Vehicle program is essentially Ford’s certified used car program. Just like with any other certified used models, these used vehicles have passed extensive inspections to guarantee a reliable performance. When you choose a certified Ford, you know you’re getting a used model that’s in great condition.

Ford has two certified classifications: Gold and Blue. Gold certified models are less than six years old, with less than 80,000 miles on the speedometer. And each of the Gold models has passed a thorough, 172-point inspection.

Gold models come with their own extended warranty coverage:

• Comprehensive limited warranty: 12 months/12,000 miles
• Powertrain limited warranty: 7 years/100,000 miles
• Money back guarantee: 14 days/1,000 miles
• 24/7 roadside assistance
• 22,000 FordPass Rewards Points

Gold models’ FordPass Rewards Points can be used towards a credit on your first two maintenance visits.

Meanwhile, Blue models can be up to 10 years old, with less than 120,000 miles on the speedometer. Each of the Blue certified used models have passed a 139-point inspection with flying colors.

And Blue models also feature specific extended warranty coverage:

• Comprehensive limited warranty: 90 days/4,000 miles
• Money Back Guarantee: 14 days/1,000 miles
• 24/7 roadside assistance
• 11,000 FordPass Rewards Points

Blue models’ FordPass rewards points can be used towards a credit on your first maintenance visit.

In addition to knowing you’re getting a reliable powertrain and extra warranty coverage, the Blue Advantage Certified Vehicle program offers a few extra perks. For starters, there’s the money back guarantee, which gives you 14 days or 1,000 miles — whichever comes first — to decide if you want to keep your certified used Ford. Then there’s the roadside assistance program, which keeps you from being stranded if something totally unexpected happens.

You can also take advantage of the program’s delivery and at-home test drive options. Ford plans to set up a purchase option that lets you skip the dealership altogether. You’ll be able to choose the model you want and have it delivered to your home for a no-obligation test-drive. If you decide to keep this used Ford, you can sign all the necessary paperwork then and there.
