Hemet, CA (09/24/2026) - When shoppers think about the benefits they want when considering a used vehicle, things like peace of mind about the vehicle condition and the protections and services offered during vehicle ownership are as or more important than the price of the vehicle. In Hemet, California, shoppers can view, test drive, and purchase, if they choose, Ford Motor Company’s manufacturer-protected certified pre-owned vehicles.

Shopping this certified inventory provides customers an opportunity to purchase a vehicle that meets their requirements, like condition and equipment, while still providing the benefits associated with shopping a used vehicle.

A Different Kind of Used Car Shopping Experience

Not all used vehicles are protected and certified. The certification process consists of two levels, Gold Certified and Blue Certified, based on age, mileage, and condition of the vehicle. Gold Certified Ford vehicles are 6 years old, or less, with 80,000 miles or less and must pass a 172 point inspection. Blue Certified Ford vehicles are 10 years old, or less, with 120,000 miles or less and must pass a 139 point inspection.

When comparing used vehicles in the Hemet area, shoppers can consider certification levels of the vehicles and the benefits associated with that level of certification.

Drivers have distinctive needs, and those needs can vary greatly from one certified pre-owned buyer to the next. One buyer may be transporting a carpool and need the all-wheel drive of a crossover like the Ford Explorer. Another may be transporting a load of hay bales in the bed of a Ford F-150. The various Ford models in the certified pre-owned inventory of Tim Moran Ford offer something for a variety of buyers.

Recently, the certified pre-owned inventory has listed the Mustang Mach-E and the Explorer. Keep in mind that when a vehicle on the certified pre-owned lot is purchased, it is replaced by a different vehicle.

Shoppers should become familiar with the current certified pre-owned inventory. There can be significant variations in the price, features, and mileage from one vehicle to the next.

The certification process mandates that every vehicle inspected meets a certain set of standards. Beyond the certification process, benefits vary based on the level of certification. Each certification level includes a 24/7 roadside assistance program.

The Ford Blue Advantage Gold Certified Vehicles include a 12-month/12,000 mile limited warranty and a 7-year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty. The Ford Blue Advantage Blue Certified Vehicles include a 90-day/4,000 mile limited warranty.

While the benefits associated with the certification process are mandated, various benefits are granted based on the level of certification. FordPass Rewards Points are granted to customers based on the level of certification. Prior to purchase, customers are also provided a CARFAX vehicle history report.

This innovation can help customers appreciate the background of a certified pre-owned vehicle, i.e. the history and benefits of certification.
