Gold Certified at a glance
Gold is for late-model Fords. It adds the longest warranty coverage of the two programs.
- Ford vehicles up to 6 model years old, under 80,000 miles
- 172-point inspection
- 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty
- 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
- 24/7 roadside assistance and a vehicle history report
Blue Certified at a glance
Blue covers older or higher-mileage vehicles, and it can include other brands sold by Ford dealers.
- Up to 10 model years old, under 120,000 miles
- 139-point inspection
- 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty
- Vehicle history report
Which one is right for you?
If you want near-new peace of mind on a Ford, Gold is worth the price difference. If you're budget-focused and buying an older vehicle, Blue still beats a non-certified car because it's inspected and comes with some coverage.
