Visit Keer Ford for Certified Pre-Owned Fords!

For drivers in Lancaster, Ohio, looking to upgrade their ride without the new-car price tag, buying a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle from Keer Ford is the perfect middle ground. Located just a short drive down US-22 in New Lexington, our family-owned dealership offers a stellar selection of CPO models that deliver the reliability of a brand-new Ford alongside the smart savings of a used car. When you shop our CPO inventory, you're not just buying a pre-owned vehicle; you're investing in factory-backed confidence, thoroughly vetted quality, and exclusive benefits that local private sellers simply can't match.

What is Ford's Blue Advantage Program?

Understanding the Ford Blue Advantage program is key to finding the right match for your Lancaster commute. The program is broken down into distinct tiers, primarily Gold Certified and Blue Certified. To earn the Gold tier, a vehicle must be a Ford model under six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles, and it must pass a rigorous 172-point inspection. Meanwhile, the Blue Certified tier expands your options by certifying Ford models and other makes up to 10 years old with up to 120,000 miles, backed by a detailed 139-point inspection. No matter which tier you choose, you can drive back home over the county line knowing your vehicle has been scrutinized by factory-trained technicians.
