Ford’s Official Certified Pre-Owned Program

Ford Blue Advantage

Ford Blue Advantage is the only certified pre-owned program backed directly by Ford Motor Company — not just the dealer. Every Blue Advantage vehicle is inspected by Ford factory-trained technicians, repaired with Ford Motorcraft®, Omnicraft or Ford Authorized Remanufactured parts where needed and protected by manufacturer-backed limited warranty coverage.1

About The Program

Ford’s Manufacturer-Backed CPO Program

Ford Blue Advantage is Ford Motor Company’s official certified pre-owned program. It exists for one reason: to give pre-owned shoppers manufacturer-backed warranty coverage and Ford-trained service support — the same standards Ford applies to new vehicles — on vehicles that have already been driven.

Every Ford Blue Advantage vehicle passes a rigorous multi-point inspection performed by Ford factory-trained dealer technicians. Any component that doesn’t meet program standards is repaired or replaced with new Ford Motorcraft®, Omnicraft or Ford Authorized Remanufactured parts — not aftermarket substitutes.

The result is a used vehicle backed by limited warranty coverage from Ford Motor Company itself, plus included perks like complimentary 24/7 Roadside Assistance, a 14-Day/1,000-Mile Money-Back Guarantee, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and FordPass Rewards Points.1,2,3,4

What Sets Ford Blue Advantage Apart

Many used vehicles labeled “certified” at non-franchise lots are backed only by the dealership selling them — a single-store service contract that may or may not be honored if you move, the dealer changes hands or the dealership closes.

Ford Blue Advantage is different. The warranty is issued by Ford Motor Company and honored at participating Ford dealers nationwide — including Astro Ford in D’Iberville. That’s the same nationwide service network that backs new Ford warranties.

01

Backed By Ford Motor Company

Limited warranty coverage is issued by Ford Motor Company — not by the dealer alone — and is honored at any participating Ford dealer nationwide.

02

Ford Factory-Trained Technicians

Inspections are performed only by Ford factory-trained dealer technicians using Ford diagnostic equipment, technical service bulletins and approved repair procedures.

03

Factory-Authorized Parts Only

Components that fail inspection are repaired or replaced with new Ford Motorcraft®, Omnicraft or Ford Authorized Remanufactured parts — never aftermarket substitutes.

04

Sold Only Through Franchise Dealers

Only a Ford Motor Company-franchised dealer can sell Ford Blue Advantage vehicles. The Money-Back Guarantee and full program benefits are only available at participating Ford dealers like Astro Ford.

FAQ

Ford Blue Advantage Questions

Answers to the most common questions about Ford Motor Company’s certified pre-owned program.

Ford Blue Advantage is Ford Motor Company’s official certified pre-owned program. Every Blue Advantage vehicle passes a multi-point inspection performed by Ford factory-trained dealer technicians, is repaired with new Ford Motorcraft®, Omnicraft or Ford Authorized Remanufactured parts where needed, and is backed by manufacturer-issued limited warranty coverage from Ford Motor Company. The program offers three certification tiers: Gold Certified, EV Certified and Blue Certified.

Yes. Ford Blue Advantage is the official name of Ford Motor Company’s certified pre-owned program. When you see “Ford Certified Pre-Owned” or “Ford CPO,” that’s another way of referring to the same Blue Advantage program. The full Ford CPO program overview walks through the same three tiers covered here.

The biggest difference is who backs the warranty. With Ford Blue Advantage, the limited warranty is issued by Ford Motor Company and honored at participating Ford dealers nationwide. With a generic dealer CPO program at a non-franchise lot, the “warranty” is typically a service contract issued by the dealership itself — honored only at that one store. Blue Advantage vehicles are also inspected by Ford factory-trained technicians using Ford diagnostic procedures and are repaired only with Ford Motorcraft®, Omnicraft or Ford Authorized Remanufactured parts — not aftermarket substitutes.

Ford Blue Advantage is available only at participating Ford Motor Company-franchised dealers. Astro Ford in D’Iberville is a participating Blue Advantage dealer, serving Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and the broader Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Ford Blue Advantage offers three certification tiers calibrated to vehicle type, age and mileage. Gold Certified is the premium tier for Ford vehicles up to 6 years old and under 80,000 miles, with a 172-point inspection and 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. EV Certified is for fully electric Fords up to 6 years and 80,000 miles, with a 127-point inspection and 8-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV warranty covering the high-voltage battery and eDrive transmission. Blue Certified is for any make and model up to 10 years and 150,000 miles, with a 139-point inspection and 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive warranty.

Every Ford Blue Advantage vehicle — regardless of tier — includes a manufacturer-backed limited warranty from Ford Motor Company, complimentary 24/7 Roadside Assistance, the 14-Day/1,000-Mile Money-Back Guarantee, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and FordPass Rewards Points (22,000 for Gold or EV Certified, 11,000 for Blue Certified). Each vehicle has also passed a tier-specific multi-point inspection performed by Ford factory-trained technicians.

Yes — through the Blue Certified tier. Blue Certified is the only Ford Blue Advantage tier that accepts competitive makes. Eligible brands include Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, RAM, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen and more. The vehicle must be under 10 years old with fewer than 150,000 miles and must pass the 139-point inspection.

If your Ford Blue Advantage vehicle isn’t the right fit, you can return it within 14 days or 1,000 miles — whichever comes first — and Astro Ford will work with you to find a different Ford Blue Advantage vehicle. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as sold (excluding normal wear and tear), without a lien or other encumbrance, and the original trade-in is not returned. Buyers who have returned a Ford Blue Advantage vehicle within the last six months are not eligible. See dealer for full guidelines.

Ford Motor Company runs rotating finance and APR offers on Ford Blue Advantage certified vehicles throughout the year. Special financing is sometimes available for Gold Certified and EV Certified vehicles specifically. View current Ford Blue Advantage offers at Astro Ford for the most up-to-date specials.
