You have a ton of options for purchasing used autos in Sioux Falls, S.D. We want to help you make the car-buying decision easier and less stressful than it sometimes can be.
Sioux Falls Ford offers both used and certified pre-owned vehicles in Sioux Falls.
You might be wondering: What's the difference? Isn't a used car just a used car?
Peace of Mind
A certified pre-owned vehicle gives you peace of mind. It has been selected, reconditioned, and inspected by us.
We can't take full credit for this idea, though. Mercedes-Benz began selling them in the late '80s, but most other makers now offer certified pre-owned vehicles, including Ford.
For many buyers, they prove an affordable alternative to buying new.
Ford-Certified
A Ford-certified pre-owned vehicle must be less than six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. It has passed a 172-point inspection--with road test and vehicle history including a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.™
Ford-trained technicians check out exterior/interior appearance and condition, underhood/underbody components, hybrid system, and convenience features as well as running diagnostics throughout. Parts not meeting Ford standards are replaced with factory-authorized ones.
CARFAX checks for flood and salvage vehicles, fire and frame damage, odometer issues, as well as accident and title history. Title history tells you know how many previous owners the vehicle had, where it’s been titled, and if it's been in any accidents. It also tells you about any insurance claims and applicable Lemon Laws.
Ford Motor Company Warranties
Ford certified pre-owned vehicles come with a comprehensive limited warranty covering more than 500 components for 12 months/12,000 miles beyond the original coverage, including:- engine and transmission
- rear- and front-wheel drive systems
- steering, brakes, and suspension
- electrical system and air conditioning/heating
- technology and emissions components

Special Financing
Ford certified pre-owned vehicles qualify for special financing. In fact, every Ford CPO vehicle - whether it's a car, truck, crossover or SUV - is available with 1.9% APR financing for 36 months. (Keep in mind that this is a limited-time offer and not all buyers may qualify.)Special Extras

Also with a Ford certified pre-owned vehicle you get extra perks like a complete detailing, full tank of gas at delivery, two sets of keys, and an owners manual.
And if you want, you can take the vehicle to your own mechanic for an inspection and second opinion.
Buying Used Vehicles in Sioux Falls, SD
Buying a used vehicles usually means a lower price than for certified, especially if purchased privately. But you run a greater risk of buying something that gives you more trouble, and costs you more, down the road.
Used vehicles may be of any age, mileage, and condition, and can be sold as-is. They are not factory re-conditioned and don't come with extended factory warranties. Special financing often doesn't apply, nor the special extras a CPO buyer receives.
Certified pre-owned vehicles typically list a little higher than non-certified cars, a premium averaging about $1,000 on midsize cars - the price of peace of mind and extended warranty.
Remember: Only a Ford Motor Company-franchised dealer such as Sioux Falls Ford can sell Ford-certified pre-owned vehicles that were inspected and approved by Ford Motor Company standards.
A Sioux Falls Ford Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is as close to buying a new vehicle you can get without paying new car prices.
