Ford Blue Advantage Used-Car Site to Add 14-Day Home Test Drives

[AzScorpion]

With the already high used car market I wonder how much added costs are built into this program?

Ford Blue Advantage offers both Ford and non-Ford vehicles, and any one of them will qualify for the new 14-day/1000-mile money-back guarantee once that service officially starts in February. Ford partners with its dealers and Autotrader on the used-car site, and the automaker also offers two different warranty levels (Gold Certified or Blue Certified) for vehicles purchased under the Ford Blue Advantage program. Gold Certified used vehicles are for models up to six years old and come with a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty, while the Blue tier is used for vehicles up to 10 years old and comes with a 90-day/4000-mile limited warranty.

My local dealer already has the Blue/Gold Advantage plans in place, and has for a while. Their current Gold Advantage plan offers a 4 day/200 mile money-back guarantee--the 14 day/1000 mile version sounds much more practical. No money-back guarantee on their current Blue Advantage Plan. Plan available depends on the vehicle. The dealer's prices seems fairly reasonable, no major up-tick in the price. We'll see if that changes when the money-back guarantee window increases. Here are the other details--
