Understanding the Ford Blue Advantage Program

Looking for a Ford dealer near Atlanta with a large selection of quality pre-owned models? Your search ends here with us at Loganville Ford. We offer drivers an expansive selection of pre-owned models to explore; however, if you’re seeking added reassurance, our Ford Blue Advantage-certified used vehicles are the perfect option.

The Ford Blue Advantage Program is Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned program. It allows you to enjoy used car prices, with new car confidence, because every model has been thoroughly inspected, and in some cases, refurbished. Of course, every used car here has been inspected and must meet our high standards of quality. So, wondering what else the Ford Blue Advantage program includes?

Read on to learn about this great program, including which vehicles qualify, and what sort of benefits you can expect.

The Ford Blue Advantage Program is Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned program. It has strict vehicle requirements, and not every model qualifies for the program.

Along with the added reassurance, Ford Blue Advantage pre-owned vehicles also come with special benefits we will explore later.

The best part is our dealership doesn’t just back these vehicles—they’re backed by Ford too. Put simply, not all used cars are created equal, and Ford Blue Advantage used vehicles are a cut above the rest in terms of quality and assurances.

14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you don’t absolutely love your vehicle for any reason within the first 14 days or 1,000 miles of ownership, simply bring it back to the dealership for a refund.

Added Perks for Added Convenience

There are a few other perks you get with the Ford Blue Advantage Program, no matter which tier you shop.

Convenient At-Home Test Drives

Seamless Vehicle Delivery

If you’ve decided on a vehicle and already been approved for financing, you can complete your entire transaction without setting foot on the dealership floor. Thanks to home delivery, just order your perfect certified used model, sit back, and wait for it to arrive!

Ford Blue Advantage vs Standard Used Cars

At Loganville Ford, we inspect every used vehicle we sell. However, Ford Blue Advantage Certified Pre-Owned vehicles undergo a more detailed inspection and must meet Ford’s specific age and mileage requirements. In contrast, our standard used vehicles are also thoroughly inspected but are not subject to those same age or mileage limits.

Most used vehicles no longer have active warranties, especially if they are slightly older. Overall, Ford Blue Advantage Certified Pre-Owned vehicles offer greater certainty than regular used vehicles, making them ideal for first-time buyers and anyone seeking reassurance.
