CPO Inspection Chandler AZ

CPO stands for certified pre-owned. A CPO vehicle is a used car, truck, or SUV that meets Ford's quality standards. It is not just any used vehicle. To qualify, each one must pass a point-by-point inspection and meet age and mileage limits set by Ford. 

Ford's program uses a set inspection checklist to confirm the vehicle is in good shape. Ford CPO vehicles also come with added coverage for your peace of mind. This includes warranty protection and roadside assistance.

The Complete Inspection Process

Every Ford CPO vehicle at Earnhardt Ford is checked by trained technicians. They follow Ford's inspection checklist and use the right tools to look at each part of the vehicle.

The process includes:

• A review of the vehicle history and service records

• A close look at the engine, brakes, tires, and other key systems

• A check of the interior, electronics, and safety features

• Any needed repairs or reconditioning before the vehicle is sold

There are three levels of certification.  Each is designed to give the customer maximum value. Gold Certified and Blue Certified are well known to many used car shoppers. The newest is EV Certified, providing gently used electric vehicles for busy Chandler drivers.

Less than six years old, Gold Certified vehicles must have less than 80,000 miles and pass a 172-point inspection. Less than 10 years old, Blue Certified vehicles must pass a 139-point inspection and have less than 150,000 miles.

If a vehicle needs work to meet Ford's standards, that work is done first. A vehicle only earns the CPO label after it passes. This means you get a used vehicle that has been checked and prepared, not just parked on the lot.

Why CPO Matters When You Buy Used

Buying used is a smart way to save money. A CPO vehicle adds another layer of confidence. You get a vehicle that has passed a full inspection, comes with warranty coverage, and has a clear history behind it. 

With a typical used car purchase, you often take the vehicle as it is. A CPO vehicle is different. It has been inspected, reconditioned as needed, and backed by added coverage. That gives you a clearer picture of what you are buying. 

We keep the process open and honest. You can review the inspection details and vehicle history so you know what you are getting. This is part of the straightforward way we do business at Earnhardt Ford.
