Blue, Gold, or EV: Which Ford Certified Pre-Owned Option Fits You Best?

Choosing a used vehicle doesn’t mean giving up peace of mind. At Crain Ford of Jacksonville, we offer Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles through the Ford Blue Advantage program, which gives you quality you can trust—backed by warranties, inspections, and expert support.

There are three certification levels: Blue Certified, Gold Certified, and EV Certified. Each one offers unique benefits depending on what you’re looking for in your next vehicle.

🔵 Blue Certified – Dependable Vehicles at an Affordable Price

Blue Certified models include a wide range of makes and models—not just Ford—and must be less than 10 years old with under 150,000 miles.

Every vehicle goes through a detailed 139-point inspection by trained Ford technicians to ensure it meets our safety and quality standards.

Blue Certified perks include:

• 90-day/4,000-mile limited warranty
  
• 14-day/1,000-mile return option
  
• Complimentary 24/7 roadside support
  
• 11,000 FordPass Rewards Points
  
• CARFAX Vehicle History Report included

Blue Certified is a great pick for drivers looking for a quality used vehicle at a great value.

🟡 Gold Certified – Ford-Only Options with Extra Peace of Mind

Gold Certified vehicles are newer Ford models—up to 6 years old and with fewer than 80,000 miles. These go through a tougher 172-point inspection, making sure they meet high Ford standards inside and out.

Gold Certified benefits include:

• 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty
  
• 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty
  
• 14-day/1,000-mile return guarantee
  
• Complimentary roadside service any time
  
• 22,000 FordPass Rewards Points
  
• CARFAX report with every vehicle

Choose Gold Certified if you want a newer Ford that feels almost brand-new—with strong coverage and added protection.

⚡ EV Certified – Certified Confidence for Electric Vehicles

EV Certified vehicles are 100% electric Ford models, like the Mustang Mach-E. To qualify, they must be 6 years old or newer and have fewer than 80,000 miles.

Each one receives a 127-point inspection, focusing on electric system performance and battery health.

EV Certified benefits include:

• 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty
  
• 8-year/100,000-mile EV powertrain warranty
  
• 14-day/1,000-mile return guarantee
  
• Free 24/7 roadside assistance
  
• 22,000 FordPass Rewards Points

EV Certified vehicles are perfect for drivers who want to make the switch to electric—without losing peace of mind.
