Springfield, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/24/2012 -- Ford Motor Company is proud of its vehicles, their quality construction and enduring value. That is why they offer a Certified Pre-Owned Advantage on select used Ford cars that pass their certification process. Springfield Ford Lincoln is pleased to announce that the greater Philadelphia area can now take advantage of the Certified Pre-Owned Advantage at their dealership.

In order to be certified, pre-owned Ford vehicles must undergo a rigorous inspection and pass a list of requirements. Firstly, models must be within five previous model years and have no more than 80,000 miles. They cannot have a history of frame, fire, flood, or hail damage or any alterations that would void a new car warranty. Next, the pre-owned Ford model must pass a 172-point inspection, which includes a road test, underbody inspection, and diagnostics system test. If the car passes all of these requirements, it is authorized as a Certified Pre-Owned Ford.

Customers who purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Ford will receive the satisfaction of knowing their used car is of the top quality. In addition, they will benefit from a 12-month / 12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, which covers the engine, transmission, front and rear wheel drive, steering, brakes, suspension, air conditioning, emissions, audio, safety systems, and more. Also, Ford’s fully transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the vehicle’s engine and transmission for 7-years / 100,000-miles.

In addition, owners can take advantage of 24-Hour Roadside Assistance. This service provides flat-tire changes, jump starts, lockout assistance for up to $50 to unlock doors, fuel delivery of up to 2 gallons at no charge, $75 for emergency transportation, travel reimbursement of up to $500, and towing assistance for up to $100.
