Ford Certified Blue Advantage is a unique form of Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. You can choose from two different levels of certification, the Gold or the Blue level, based on several factors including the pre-owned vehicle’s age and mileage. Each of these vehicles has passed a rigorous inspection and comes with reassuring warranties. Here is an overview of the many advantages of the Certified Blue Advantage program that’s available at Bill Talley Ford in Mechanicsville, VA.
We offer two levels of certification at Bill Talley Ford
Our valued Ashland and Richmond customers are gratified to learn that Ford Certified Blue Advantage used vehicles are required to pass a detailed multipoint inspection before becoming Gold or Blue Certified. Gold certified models must be more recent Ford vehicles with a limited number of miles. Each one must pass a thorough inspection and then each comes with a comprehensive limited warranty along with an impressive limited powertrain warranty. Blue certified models can be older and have more miles but they still have to pass a demanding inspection.
Gold certification: The gold standard for Ford Certified Pre-Owned models
In order to be designated a Gold Certified vehicle, a pre-owned Ford model must be no more than six years old and must have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. In addition, it must pass an uncompromising 172-point inspection conducted by one of our expert Ford certified technicians. The elite Ford vehicles that make it through this examination get a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, a source of reassurance for our Sandston and Hanover customers. These vehicles also get an amazing 7-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty along with 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance that’s available for 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Blue certification: A higher level of pre-owned car
Ford’s Blue certification can be applied to any make and model that's up to 10 years old and has less than 150,000 miles on the odometer. In addition, these vehicles must pass a demanding 139-point inspection. Any vehicle that makes it through this rigorous process is covered by a 90-Day/4,000-mile (whichever comes first) Comprehensive Limited Warranty. These vehicles are also covered by 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance that’s good for 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever comes first.
