If you’re in the market for a used Ford, we’d like to share a little advice. The peace of mind that you get from buying a certified pre-owned Ford vs. a used Ford just can’t be over-stated. Knowing that the car or truck you’re buying has been certified by our technicians as mechanically sound is far better than trusting someone who says they’ve maintained it.
It’s worth the drive from Athens, Jefferson, Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Winder, or anyplace in northeast Georgia to see the selection of used Fords we have. To give you an idea just how much better it is to buy a certified pre-owned Ford from us than to buy a used Ford from a private party or used car dealer, we’ve put together a little list. Here are 5 differences between buying a certified pre-owned vehicle from Athens Ford vs. a used vehicle from anyone else.
- Thoroughly inspected to be safe and mechanically sound. Before any Ford vehicle on our lot is offered as a certified pre-owned car or truck, it goes through a comprehensive inspection by our factory certified technicians. All systems are thoroughly checked and any needed repairs are done.
- Backed by a Ford warranty. Any Ford car, truck or SUV that we offer as a certified pre-owned vehicle is backed by a 12 month/12,000 mile Ford factory warranty. Whatever remains on the original 7-year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty also transfers over to the new owner.
- Comes with a complete vehicle history report. Under our certified pre-owned program, you’ll be given a complete vehicle history report that shows all repairs and service done on the vehicle since new.
- A certified pre-owned Ford can actually cost less. When you buy a certified pre-owned Ford, it may seem like you pay a little more than you would for a private-party used car. But when you take into account the potential repairs that come with a typical used car, certified pre-owned can actually cost a lot less.
- Only the best can be certified pre-owned. Not every car or truck even meets the criteria of a certified pre-owned Ford. Only the best low-mileage vehicles get to be selected to receive the thorough inspection and repair process that certifies them. That’s why we stand behind every certified pre-owned Ford that we sell here at Athens Ford.
Buying a vehicle that’s less than brand-new can be a tricky thing. There are things to check for that the average car owner wouldn’t necessarily know about. That’s why we strongly recommend allowing our trained technicians do the job for you. Buying a certified pre-owned Ford from Athens Ford gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your car is safe and mechanically sound. It also means that our service team knows your car and will continue to service it with care. Drop by and check out our selection of certified pre-owned Ford cars, trucks and SUVs any time. See you soon!
