Ford Gold Certified: The highest level of pre-owned vehicle coverage
The Ford Gold Certified program encompasses a very select group of pre-owned Ford cars, trucks and SUVs that are in exceptionally good condition and which have passed an uncompromising 172-point inspection. These are used cars that don't look or act used. They must be no more than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. If they pass our demanding inspection, they are then Ford Certified and offer two remarkably strong warranties.
Imagine a pre-owned car with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty
It's true. Our elite Ford Gold Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with warranty protection that actually exceeds the coverage of most brand-new cars: limited protection on the powertrain (engine, transmission, driveline) for an amazing 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. That demonstrates dramatically just how much confidence Ford and our dealership have in these exceptional vehicles. You, of course, can feel the same way.
A sampling of what gets examined in our 172-point inspection
With the Gold Certified vehicle inspection, one of our most accomplished factory-trained technicians takes a close look at every facet of a potential Gold Certified Pre-Owned Ford car, truck or SUV. He looks carefully at all key engine, transmission and mechanical functionality. He checks the suspension system and looks at brakes to be certain there's a proper amount of brake lining, while also checking the brake pads and rotors.
In addition our Ford factory-trained service professional looks carefully at the interior of the vehicle. Is the upholstery and other inside amenities in excellent condition? Do all material and coverings have a high enough level of overall integrity without excess tears or rips? How is the steering and handling of the vehicle? Is the ride stable and safe? Is visibility at a high level? Is there adequate windshield wiper fluid? Are wiper blades effective?
Additional warranty coverage and roadside assistance
For those rare vehicles that pass our inspection, there's even more coverage. As if a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty weren't impressive enough, a Ford Gold Certified vehicle at Chiefland Ford also gets a 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, covering thousands of vital components all over your pre-owned vehicle. What's more, Ford even adds 24/7 roadside assistance for added assurance.
Ford Blue Certified: More affordable, still reassuring
A separate Ford Certified classification of vehicle includes pre-owned Ford models that are up to 10 years old and have less than 120,000 miles on the odometer. These high quality used Ford cars, trucks and SUVs have passed a comprehensive 139-point inspection. When they do, they come with a Comprehensive Limited Bumper-to-Bumper warranty for 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever comes first, along with 24/7 roadside assistance.
