Relax...It's Covered! -Ford Certified Pre-Owned

At Ewald's Hartford Ford, we understand that buying a pre-owned vehicle might feel a little risky. It can feel like a gamble buying a car that has been driven by someone else for a couple years.  This is why we go the extra effort to certify as many pre-owned Ford vehicles as possible.

Any pre-owned vehicle that we taken in trade or purchase that is 5 years or newer and have 80,000 miles or less, we send through Ford's 172-point inspection to become a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

"It's like having a 3rd franchise," explains General Sales manager Tony Decristoforo.  "We have New, Used, and Certified Pre-Owned."

What does Ford Certified Pre-Owned mean to customers and why is it important? A Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and comes with manufacturer-backed limited-warranty coverage.  The Certified Pre-Owned coverages includes:

• 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty Coverage
• 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty Coverage
• 172 points of inspections by a certified mechanic
• Vehicle History Report
• 24-hour roadside assistance
• A full tank of fuel, fresh oil and filter, and new wiper blades at delivery
• Service available at any Ford or Lincoln Dealer in the 50 United States and Canada 

We want to make sure you are covered and we try to do this by offering as many Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles as we can.

Top 5 Reasons to Trade in your 3-Year Old Vehicle

Remember that new car smell and feel while driving your new vehicle off the dealership lot to take it home? No? Well then maybe it’s time to consider selling your 3 year old vehicle back to the Dealership.

Top 5 Reason to Sell your 3-Year old Vehicle Back to the Dealership

1. Back Under Factory Warranty

Give yourself peace of mind while owning a vehicle that is back under a factory warranty.  After 3 years or 36,000 miles, most vehicles are no longer covered under the bumper to bumper warranty.  As you approach 55,000 to 65,000 miles, typical wear and tear items need to be replaced such as brakes, tires, and various engine parts.

2. New Vehicle & Technology Upgrades

Technology is constantly improving. To compare to another constantly improving item, on average a person keeps a cell phone about 18 months until upgrading to something newer. By the time they upgrade, the old cell phone might be one or two generations behind the newest model of the phone they are purchasing.  In newer vehicles, technology and overall vehicle upgrades are constantly changing to become more advanced. 

3. Dealerships WANT your vehicle

Dealerships want and need vehicles that are 3-5 years old.  The used car market is stronger now than it has been in many years. Dealerships are offering top dollar and more than market value for good quality used vehicles especially for returning customers who are bring back vehicles purchased and serviced at the dealership. 

4. Get the Most Value Out of your Trade

If you are holding on to a vehicle that is 3-4 years old, it is at its peak of value.  Most of the time when customers finance vehicles, after 3-4 years of making payments the vehicle has more equity than what is still owed.  By selling it back to the dealership, customers are able to pay off the lien on the current vehicle and have some equity going into a newer model.  

5. Get a Lower Interest Rate

Interest rates for financing are at an all-time low.  If the dealership is not offering 0% financing and if nothing major has happened to your credit since you purchased your last vehicle, chances of getting a low interest rate are very good!
