Ford is confident enough in the
improved quality of its vehicles that the automaker is
increasing the
warranty on its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicles. Under the old warranty terms, the powertrain was covered for six years or 75,000 miles; starting last week the powertrain coverage was upped to six years or 100,000 miles. Ford has also seen fit to add a three-month or 3,000-mile comprehensive warranty along with 24-hour roadside assistance to their CPO cars. In reality, this new
extended warranty coverage brings Ford level with other manufacturer's powertrain CPO warranties, placing them smack-dab between rival
GM's five year or 100,000 mile warranty and
Honda and
Toyota's seven year or 100,000 mile coverage.
Chrysler's CPO coverage extends for eight years but only up to 80,000 miles. All of these brands also match Ford's new comprehensive coverage. As Ford's higher-level brand,
Lincolns will get a six-year/100,000 comprehensive limited warranty.
