Certified Pre-Owned Ford Inventory for Sale in South Bend, IN
Gold & Blue Standard: Certified Pre-Owned Fords in South Bend
Driving in Michiana demands confidence. From the lake-effect snow that blankets the Bypass to the stop-and-go traffic on game days near Notre Dame, you need a vehicle that is ready for anything. At Gurley Leep Ford on East Ireland Road, our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) inventory offers the perfect middle ground between new-car peace of mind and used-car value. Through the Ford Blue Advantage program, we elevate the standard of pre-owned vehicles, ensuring that whether you are heading to class at IUSB or towing a boat to the St. Joe River, your Ford is up to the task.
Choosing a CPO vehicle from Gurley Leep means choosing transparency. We know that South Bend roads can be tough on cars, which is why our factory-trained technicians rigorously inspect every candidate for the program. We check everything from the EcoBoost® engine performance to the condition of the heated seats, ensuring your vehicle can handle the chill of an Indiana winter. With the backing of Ford and the reputation of Gurley Leep, you can drive off our lot knowing you have made a smart investment.
Two Levels of Certification for Your Needs
The Ford Blue Advantage program allows us to offer two distinct levels of certification—Gold and Blue—giving you more flexibility to find a vehicle that fits your budget and lifestyle.
- Gold Certified: The pinnacle of pre-owned quality. These Ford models are up to 6 years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. They pass a strict 172-point inspection and come with a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty and a 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Ideally suited for a long-term family hauler like an Expedition or Explorer.
- Blue Certified: This tier opens the door to a wider range of high-quality vehicles up to 10 years old with less than 120,000 miles. Each passes a detailed 139-point inspection and includes a 90-Day/4,000-Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty. It is a fantastic option for a reliable student car or a second daily driver.
- Benefits Across the Board: Regardless of the tier, every CPO vehicle includes 24/7 Roadside Assistance and FordPass™ Rewards Points, making your ownership experience in South Bend seamless and rewarding.
At Gurley Leep Ford, we believe in a neighborly approach. We provide a full CARFAX® Vehicle History Report for every CPO model, so you know the story behind your steering wheel before you ever leave the lot.
