• Vehicle has less than 80,000 Miles
• Vehicle was manufactured for sale in the United States

Once the vehicle meets the basic requirements, and after a rigorous 172 point vehicle inspection, then it will be worthy to bare the prestigious Ford Certified Pre-Owned badge. So what does all this mean for you? Let’s take a look.
