Used Vehicle Warranty: What's Covered and Why It Matters
The Ford brand is known for being a powerhouse of the worksite, but it's also a powerhouse when it comes to extensive warranty coverage – even when you're shopping for a pre-owned model. For instance, every new Ford vehicle comes with comprehensive coverage that can be transferred to a new owner upon resale. More importantly, the Ford Gold Certified models come with their own comprehensive warranties.
Why does a Ford factory warranty matter for used car shoppers? New-vehicle factory warranties are relevant to used model shoppers because, as we mentioned above, they're transferable to a new owner. With long-term coverage, such as a five-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Warranty,1 you have factory-backed protection when purchasing a model that hasn't exceeded those limits.
What does a warranty for used car options cover? Along with transferable warranties, Ford Gold Certified vehicles come with a one-year/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty1 and a seven-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty.1 Alternatively, Ford EV Certified models have the same Comprehensive Limited Warranty,1 along with an eight-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV Limited Warranty.1
Why Used Car Buyers Should Care About Warranties
Vehicle ownership can be pricey, even with the historically good ownership costs associated with Ford models, such as the 2022 Escape.2 Saving on vehicle care, defects, or poor craftsmanship is a must, especially when you're busy working the job site or running the kids to school every morning. The extensive selection of Ford warranty coverage available ensures that you can get back to your daily work and life flow as quickly as possible without breaking the bank.
Here are a few other reasons to care about warranty coverage on your next used purchase:
- Less Anxiety at the Wheel: Knowing you can rely on Roadside Assistance3 or coverage for poor craftsmanship can mean the difference between white-knuckling the wheel and a calm, serene commute.
- More Money in Your Wallet: When the worst happens, and you've got a major repair, applicable Ford warranty options can take the costs partially or entirely out of your hands.
- Protected Resale Value: Vehicles like the 2020 Ford F-150 are known for their excellent resale value, with an 88 out of 100 rating by J.D. Power.4 Warranty coverage makes that sale more appealing to prospective buyers.
- Vehicle Longevity: Warranty coverage means keeping your vehicle in optimal condition for less, especially for circumstances out of your control, which can lead to a longer lifespan.
What Ford Warranty Will My Used Car Have?
The exact type of Ford used car warranty you'll get on your new-to-you vehicle depends on a few factors – every purchase will include unique details that can change the Ford warranty you'll be able to rely on. For example, purchasing a model from 2023 may still have ample time left on its New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and you can enhance coverage with a dealership-specific Ford used car extended warranty, too.
