Ford Certified

Ford Certified Pre-Owned in Leonardtown, MD.

A late-model Ford that passed a multi-point inspection and comes with factory-backed coverage. Here is what that actually means and when it is worth paying for.

…

What certification includes

  • A multi-point inspection covering mechanical, electrical, and appearance items, with anything failing repaired before sale.
  • A comprehensive limited warranty on top of whatever factory coverage remains.
  • Extended powertrain coverage for engine, transmission, and drivetrain.
  • Roadside assistance and a vehicle history report.

Ford updates program terms from time to time, so I will give you the current coverage in writing on the specific vehicle. The live certified list is on leonardtownford.com.

When certification is worth it

If you plan to keep the vehicle several years, finance it over a longer term, or just want to stop thinking about repair bills, certification usually earns its price. If you are buying a cheap commuter you will replace in two years, it may not. I will show you the certified and non-certified option side by side so the decision is yours.

What is not certified

Trade-ins from other makes, higher-mileage trucks, and older vehicles are sold as regular pre-owned. They are still inspected and still backed by the dealership, and I will tell you what warranty options exist on each one.

Pit wall

Questions about ford certified.

Does a Ford Certified vehicle cost more?

Usually somewhat, because of the inspection work and the coverage. Whether that is worth it depends on how long you will keep it. I will give you both numbers.

Can any used Ford be certified?

No. Age, mileage, and condition limits apply. If a vehicle you like does not qualify, I will tell you and show you other coverage options.

Is the certified warranty honored at other Ford dealers?

Yes. Factory-backed coverage travels with the vehicle to any Ford dealer, which matters if you move or travel.

Why text you instead of using the dealership website form?

Website forms go into a queue. A text goes to my phone. You get a faster answer, a direct line for every question after the sale, and someone who actually remembers what you are looking for.
