Among those is a trade-in, which lets you take the value of your current vehicle, and apply it toward your purchase. We make it simple to find out your trade in's value as we have our free to use Kelley Blue Book Trade-In tool! With our KBB Trade-In portal, you can input all your pertinent vehicle information like make, model year, trim, color, mileage, features and condition and submit it into Kelley Blue Book's comprehensive online pricing guide which will provide you with an estimated cost at trade in. You can take that information and use it how you wish, but if a vehicle here at Franklin Ford has your attention, you can bring your current vehicle you'd like to trade in to us and we'll inspect it to verify it's status, and will honor the value toward your new vehicle purchase if everything checks out.

If you click on the "Vehicles" tab at the top of our website, you'll notice there are two options for shopping pre-loved vehicles. You can look at our used inventory or our certified pre-owned inventory. So, you ask, what's the difference? Our used inventory is made up for several brands. Used Fords are going to be the bulk of the vehicles, but you'll also see competitors in there from people trading-in. If you look at our Certified Pre-Owned Ford inventory page you'll only see Ford models. Specifically, Ford models that have earned the CPO designation. To get the title, used vehicles must meet a strict set of guidelines: Cannot be more than 5 model years old Must have less than 80,000 miles Cannot have been in a serious accident Must pass a rigorous 172-point inspection by a Ford technician Once the vehicles have check off all the boxes and gotten the "Certified Pre-Owned" label, owners who purchase them get additional perks. There is a 1-year comprehensive limited warranty, a 7-year powertrain warranty, and 24-hour roadside assistance that helps with costs for alternative transportation and lodging. Unlike many dealerships, at Franklin Ford we have a large selection of CPO Ford models. In fact, most of the ones under our "used inventory" are actually CPO! While these may cost more than your standard used vehicle, the additional benefits and coverage are worth far more than the difference and they give added peace of mind. For more information on the Ford Certified Pre-Owned benefits, contact us or visit our showroom!
