By definition, a "used" vehicle is one of two things:

1. It has a previous owner.
2. It exceeded the set limit of a "road test" vehicle and is now retired by the dealership.

You can get a used vehicle in good condition with most of the latest features for a price you can agree with. We also have financing options for qualifying customers. Contact Don Hinds Ford to learn more about how you can get a new-to-you Ford Explorer today.

Take Off in an Indianapolis, IN Used Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer line of vehicles has been around since the 1991 model. It was first introduced as a 4-door SUV with a 2-door Sport variant. It wasn't a sport utility vehicle like some of the other popular cars at the time, but it certainly gained attention for SUVs all around. Although it started with some truck-like features, over the years, Ford has refined the Explorer to have more carlike features and be a high-quality ride.

If you're looking for a vehicle that your family can hop into and create memories, the Explorer is probably at the top of your list of possibilities. The first line of Explorers shared some similarities with the Ford Ranger and Ford Bronco, its predecessors. However, unlike the Bronco, it became a more family-oriented vehicle with off-roading capabilities.

Whether you have a 2017 Ford Explorer or an older model year, you can expect an SUV packed with fun. Pack up the back with everything your vehicle needs. Although the storage space differs between models, Ford can guarantee that you can pack up your entire family's weekend camping gear for a spectacular outing. Or use the Explorer to take your kids to school or appointments comfortably with spacious rows of seating.

There's no need to go all out and buy the latest model of the Ford Explorer. Even its older versions have a viable towing package and leather seat options and are an all-around great experience. Don Hinds Ford can help you find the vehicle that's just right for your entire family. Come in, and we'll happily show you the vehicles available to you.

Getting an Advantage with Ford Blue Advantage

We can assure you that you're getting a high-quality pre-owned vehicle if it has the Ford Blue Advantage seal of approval. Any vehicle that passes the rigorous entry checklist of this program becomes a certified pre-owned vehicle. That means these used cars are all vehicles in excellent condition, even among new cars. Some will even be close to their original state when they were brand new.

When we recommend a pre-owned vehicle to become a part of the Ford Blue Advantage program, we put the vehicle through an intensive multi-point inspection that Ford provides the guidelines for. If the vehicle passes it, it'll become either Gold or Blue certified and have a noticeable ribbon to match. The Gold-certified vehicles are the cream-of-the-crop among our available used inventory. In contrast, the Blue-certified ones might lose against Gold-certified vehicles but still stand out among other pre-owned cars.

Tough Tests Equate to Excellent Benefits

Of course, when a used car is Gold or Blue certified, it means it's in excellent condition. However, that's not the only assurance you'll get with these certified pre-owned cars. After passing the rigorous multi-point inspections, they also come with warranties and benefits.

Before prospective vehicles go through the inspection to become Gold certified, they must pass some pre-requisites. They have to be a Ford vehicle. They also can't be any older than six years and have less than 80,000 miles. Then these vehicles must pass a 172-point inspection.

However, once they pass, their future owners will gain benefits. They come with a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, 7-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, 14-day or 1,000-mile money-back guarantee, 24/7 roadside assistance, and 22,000 FordPass™ Rewards points for your first two service visits. The limited warranties' terms end for whichever option comes first, so be sure you use them.

There are also prerequisites for a vehicle to become Blue certified. Unlike the Gold-certified cars, these cars can be of any make or model. However, they have to be less than ten years old with less than 120,000 miles. Then, they have to pass a 139-point inspection.

Once they pass, they come with a 90-day or 4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, a 14-day or 1,000 money-back guarantee, 24/7 roadside assistance, and 11,000 FordPass Rewards points for your first maintenance visit. These limited warranty terms also end with whichever condition happens first.
