Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned
As locals’ trusted source for used Ford vehicles, we’re proud to provide a selection like none other. You’ll find traditional used vehicles – some priced under $15,000! – as well as certified pre-owned Ford models.
Certified Pre-Owned
A certified pre-owned car, or CPO, provides extra peace of mind, having undergone a thorough inspection and reconditioning process. In order to be certified, each gently used vehicle must meet the following criteria:
- Relatively low mileage
- Properly maintained following owner’s manual
- Collision-free history
- Fall within a certain range of model years
Once the Ford vehicle has officially been certified, it receives a manufacturer-backed warranty – another great perk! While this warranty is typically more limited than that of a new vehicle, it is one key reason why customers choose a CPO vehicle over a traditional used car.
Advantages to Buying a Used Ford
Affordability is just one reason many drivers buy a used Ford. There are plenty of perks to consider, including the following:
Vehicle Depreciation
A new Ford model can lose as much as 40 percent of its value during the first year, starting the moment it rolls off the lot. Used Ford cars have already endured this rapid depreciation period and hold their value better over time.
Lower Insurance Rates
Insurance premiums are influenced by a few factors, including the vehicle’s age. Older vehicles typically come with lower insurance costs, but to be sure, request a quote from your insurance agent.
Budget-Friendly Prices
It’s no secret that the biggest perk of buying used is the price tag. A brand new 2023 Ford Explorer, for example, will always ring up higher than the 2020 equivalent. But because Ford vehicles are built to last, the used model still has plenty of good years left!
Larger Selection
Our huge used Ford inventory includes a wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs, ranging in model year, trim level, and features. Buying used offers more choices, so start your search today!
Cheaper Customization Costs
A panoramic Vista roof on a brand-new Ford Edge SEL, along with other customizable options, results in a higher sticker price. A used vehicle already equipped with upscale features may come at a cost that does not reflect that level of luxury.
Environmentally Friendly
Because a vehicle produces almost a quarter of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing and initial shipment process, choosing a used vehicle reduces emissions.
No Hidden Fees
Some dealers charge hidden fees, like shipping costs and potential “dealer preparation” costs, for new vehicles. Buying used means avoiding these sneaky fees, so the price you see is the price you get!
Lower Annual Registration Fees
In most states, the cost of annual vehicle registration is based on the value and model year of your car. In the first three years, registration rates are typically the highest, before leveling off after five years. That’s right, buying a used Ford car in Florence, SC could save you thousands!
Warranties
Many used cars are still under the factory warranty, offering extended coverage – and confidence on the road ahead! Certified pre-owned Ford models also come with a comprehensive limited warranty.
