Looking for a great deal on a used SUV backed by service you can trust?  D’Orazio Ford in Wilmington has a great selection of reliable pre-owned and Certified pre-owned SUVs, in a range of makes and models! 

What’s the difference between pre-owned and certified pre-owned?

Our most satisfied customers are the ones that understand their options before they choose their vehicle- which is especially important when considering buying a used vehicle. That’s why at D’Orazio Ford we make sure you understand the difference between used (or pre-owned) and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles.

`Used’ just means the SUV you’re considering is not new- it’s been purchased previously by another owner. While all CPO’s are used vehicles, not all used vehicles are certified pre-owned.

What does Certified Pre-Owned vehicle mean? It means the SUV (or any CPO vehicle) you’re considering comes with a warranty and has undergone a rigid, official inspection to meet the CPO specifications. CPO vehicles come with more coverage, so they tend to cost a little more than used cars. For example, Ford Certified Pre-Owned qualifications include that the SUV:

• Has passes a rigorous 172-point inspection by certified factory-trained Ford technicians
• Is less than six years old
• Has fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer
• And a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ is run on each vehicle to make sure it meets Ford’s strict CPO standards
• Any vehicle part that doesn’t meet CPO standards is replaced with a factory-authorized part
• Each CPO then comes with comprehensive and powertrain limited warranty coverage

Once you’re ready to consider the pre-owned and CPO SUVs available, our staff is happy to help you narrow down the options, depending on what you’re looking for in a vehicle.
