Ford Blue Advantage certified inventory — Escape, Edge, Explorer, Bronco & Bronco Sport
How Ford Blue Advantage Certification Works
Ford Blue Advantage is Ford's official certified pre-owned program, and it applies to eligible pre-owned Ford SUVs regardless of which trade name a dealer sells under. Vehicles are certified at one of two main tiers:
| Tier | Inspection | Key coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Ford Blue Certified | 139-point inspection | 90-day/4,000-mile limited warranty, 14-day/1,000-mile money-back guarantee, roadside assistance, CARFAX report, FordPass Rewards points |
| Ford Gold Certified | 172-point inspection | Everything in Blue Certified, plus extended roadside assistance and additional FordPass Rewards points; typically applies to newer, lower-mileage units |
Eligible certified pre-owned buyers can also add an optional extended service plan and extended powertrain coverage. Ford also offers a separate Ford EV Certified tier with an 8-year battery warranty for electrified models where applicable.
Which SUVs Typically Show Up Certified
Certified pre-owned SUV inventory changes daily based on trade-ins and what qualifies under Ford's age and mileage limits, but the models most commonly seen in Ford Blue Advantage inventory near Kirkwood include the Escape, Edge, Explorer, Bronco, and Bronco Sport. Suntrup Ford Kirkwood doesn't maintain a separate static page listing certified SUVs by model since availability shifts constantly — the live certified SUV filter reflects exactly what's on the lot today.
Before You Buy a Certified Pre-Owned SUV
- Check whether the specific SUV is Blue Certified or Gold Certified — the inspection depth and some coverage details differ.
- Ask for the CARFAX report, which is included with Ford Blue Advantage certification.
- Compare the remaining factory powertrain warranty against any optional extended coverage before adding it.
- Get pre-qualified through Suntrup's finance page so you can compare financing on a certified unit against a non-certified one.
- Ask about the 14-day/1,000-mile money-back guarantee terms in case the SUV isn't the right fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What certified pre-owned Ford SUVs are available near Kirkwood right now?
Availability changes daily. The most reliable way to see current stock is Suntrup Ford Kirkwood's live certified SUV inventory filter, which typically includes models like the Escape, Edge, Explorer, Bronco, and Bronco Sport.
What's the difference between Ford Blue Certified and Gold Certified?
Blue Certified vehicles pass a 139-point inspection, while Gold Certified vehicles pass a more extensive 172-point inspection and come with some added coverage, such as extended roadside assistance. Gold Certified typically applies to newer, lower-mileage units.
Does a certified pre-owned Ford SUV come with a warranty?
Yes. Ford Blue Advantage certified vehicles include a limited warranty (90 days/4,000 miles as the base coverage), with the option to add extended service or powertrain coverage.
Can I return a certified pre-owned SUV if I change my mind?
Ford Blue Advantage includes a 14-day/1,000-mile money-back guarantee on qualifying certified vehicles, subject to program terms — ask Suntrup Ford Kirkwood for the specific conditions before you buy.
Is a certified pre-owned SUV a better value than a new one?
It depends on the specific vehicle, mileage, and pricing at the time. Certified pre-owned SUVs typically cost less than new while still carrying a factory-backed warranty and inspection, but a new SUV may have better available financing incentives — comparing both is worth doing before you decide.
