Love the idea of a new car but not the price tag that comes with it? At Santee Ford in Manning, we have a smarter alternative: the Ford Blue Advantage Certified Pre-Owned program.
Ford Blue Advantage takes the guesswork out of buying used by offering thoroughly vetted, like-new vehicles at a fraction of the cost of a new car. Each Ford CPO vehicle comes with a robust set of benefits to give you confidence every time you get behind the wheel.
For South Carolina drivers who want reliability, peace of mind, and real savings, this combination is hard to beat. Read on as we break down the Ford Blue Advantage program, its certification levels, and the perks that come with it.
The Benefits of Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
Ford’s Blue Advantage Certified Pre-Owned program is the middle ground between buying new and buying used. Every Blue Advantage vehicle comes backed by manufacturer warranties, a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, and a rigorous inspection, giving you the peace of mind of a new car purchase without the new car price tag.
The program is built around three certification tiers: Gold Certified, Blue Certified, and EV Certified. No matter which tier you choose, every Blue Advantage vehicle delivers unmatched peace of mind.
Gold Certified
Gold Certified is Ford’s highest level of CPO certification, reserved for newer, low-mileage models.
