Ford Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Review

Ford’s CPO program is one of the most generous in the industry. Ford even certifies models from other automakers under its Ford Blue Advantage (FBA) program. While only Ford models can qualify for the top Gold coverage level, buyers of non-Ford brands can still receive several benefits. Otherwise, Ford’s CPO program lags rivals like Chevrolet, which offers free maintenance and other bonuses.
