Find a Certified Pre-Owned Ford for Sale Near Lakeside Ford

You need a vehicle, you have a tight budget, and you want something to last. Maybe you can’t get a new vehicle right now, but you want a quality vehicle that still has a lot of life to it. Maybe you’re worried about buying a used vehicle for fear of it breaking down. With a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, you can get what you need. If you live in or around Natchez, Vidalia, or Alexandria, you’ll want to check out our CPO Inventory at Lakeside Ford to find the right used vehicle that will serve your needs.

Why Buy Used?

There are some definite advantages to buying a new vehicle, but there are also some wonderful perks in buying a used vehicle. The obvious problem in buying a new vehicle when money is tight is the sticker price. New vehicles come with new vehicle prices, and as soon as you drive them off the lot, their value depreciates considerably and quickly. With a used vehicle, you begin with a lower sticker price and the devaluation occurs more slowly. Plus, you have the following other benefits:

• Lower monthly payments.
• Lower sales tax.
• Lower insurance premium.
• Higher end trims unavailable in a new vehicle due to budget constraints may now fit within your budget in a used model.
• Getting financing is often easier when you are looking to buy a used model vs a new model.
• Used models offer more flexibility, and shorter loan terms may be more available.
• Purchasing a used vehicle under three years old may still leave a portion of the original manufacturer warranty intact.

If you are still concerned about the quality and reliability of a used vehicle, you can choose to get a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model. You’ll get additional peace of mind because CPO vehicles come with other benefits above those that are listed above. For example, a CPO means the vehicle must have met certain quality standards, and with Ford vehicles, you have three different categories of certification.
