Navigating the used market is always an interesting experience, and it has been made even more complicated with the rise of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models in recent years. Now, you will see many places advertising that they are a Certified Pre-Owned Ford dealership offering the best used vehicles backed by warranties, a detailed inspection, and other perks. While CPO models certainly have their advantages, they also come with their fair share of disadvantages. When you really get down to it, you will find that buying a regular used car is going to be a better deal for most shoppers than buying CPO.
If you have questions or just want to check out some used vehicles for yourself, then The Faricy Boys Automotive is the place to go. We have an excellent selection of used vehicles for you to choose from, covering a wide range of body styles and brands. Our team will gladly walk you through your various options and the benefits you might not realize you have when buying a used vehicle from us.
What is it that makes used models a better option than Certified Pre-Owned? For starters, buying in the regular used category will open you up to so many more options than you would have buying CPO. Ford CPO models have strict restrictions they have to meet in order to qualify for the designation, including being less than six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. While it is a nice thought to have a vehicle within these limitations, there are plenty of great used models that fall outside those strict guidelines.
Another drawback of buying something Certified Pre-Owned is that it will be more expensive than buying the same model used. While there is justification for the higher price of CPO models when you consider the warranties they come with, many newer used models will still be covered for a period of time under the original new vehicle warranties, so you might not be getting as much of a benefit as you imagine.
For example, Ford's New Vehicle Limited Warranty includes:
Many used vehicles will still fall in these categories for at least a few years, giving you the same types of coverage that a CPO model comes with, without the higher price.
Another highlight for many CPO programs is that the vehicle receives multi-point inspections and comes with a CARFAX report. However, this isn’t exclusive to CPO programs. Here at The Faricy Boys Automotive, all of our used vehicles are inspected for any major mechanical issues and come with a free CARFAX report, allowing you to buy with confidence. If you are looking for just a little more assurance because buying a used car can feel like a risk at times, we suggest checking out our CARFAX 1 Owner selection of vehicles. These vehicles are guaranteed to only have a single previous owner, so you can feel confident knowing that you are getting the whole story when it comes to the vehicle's history. At the end of the day, if you want the best deal for a vehicle, consider shopping the regular used market––and we are just the dealership to help you find that perfect used car.
Now that we've established that buying used is the best way to go, let's look at some of the options you will be able to find. Whether you need something small to handle your daily commute or something large to help you handle the tough tasks, there is a used Ford out there for you. Our inventory is full of the latest and greatest generations of Fords, and you can even find some discontinued hidden gems on our lot.
Do you need something small and fuel-efficient to take on your morning commute and daily errands? Look for a Ford EcoSport or Ford Escape. More of a fan of sedans? Keep your eyes peeled for a Ford Focus or Ford Fusion. While they have been recently discontinued, you will still find plenty of these models on the road and on our lot.
How about models that can fit the whole family and a few friends? Ford has you covered with large SUVs like the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition. Are you looking for something to help you get through the tough jobs like towing and hauling equipment or supplies? Any model from the Ford F-Series lineup will be what you want to look at, and we always have a great selection of these trucks in various configurations to choose from.
Ford doesn't forget about the drivers looking for something a little more specialized, either. Do you want a little more speed in your day? The Ford Mustang should be your used model of choice. Are you a fan of taking the road less traveled (assuming there is even a road available at all)? Something like the Ford Ranger or the Ford Bronco will be more your speed. There are even hybrid and electric options for those who want an alternative to gas power. Whatever you need out of your vehicle, there is a used Ford model in our inventory for you, and we would be happy to help you find it.
What do we have to offer you aside from an excellent selection of used vehicles? For starters, we have the best team to help you get financing for your purchase. We offer competitive deals for all of our vehicles, and we will work with you and your credit to find the best financing plan for your budget and vehicle of choice. Not only that, but our team will happily value your current model for trade-in.
Even better, we handle more than just vehicle sales. When your car needs repairs, our service center is the place to go. We can work on vehicles of any make and model, whether you bought it here or not. Our team can take care of all of your basic service needs like those oil changes and tire rotations, and we have the tools and knowledge to take care of the more complex repairs your car may need.
Starting with sales, following through with service, and ending when you are ready to replace your car, The Faricy Boys Automotive is ready to be with you every step of the way. While our dealership doesn't offer Certified Pre-Owned Fords, we don't have to in order to give you amazing used vehicles that will last a long time. Ford has earned a reputation for reliability and durability by delivering vehicles that stand the test of time, and we are glad to offer you an array of used options that you won't have to worry about.
Not only that, but our used inventory also has an assortment of options from brands outside of Ford, so if you don't see exactly what you need in our Ford lineup, we can still help you find something great. Don't stress yourself out trying to find a Certified Pre-Owned model because you think it'll be the best option for buying something used. Purchasing a used model without the CPO label is going to be just as good, if not better. With our team at your back to help with financing and service, you won't have to worry about anything when it comes to your next used vehicle.
