More than Ford. More ways to find your fit.
Our used inventory includes Ford vehicles and models from other manufacturers. Compare the individual vehicle’s features, mileage, condition and price to build your shortlist.
Cars for your commute

Use the inventory filters to choose the body style and price range that match your search.
SUVs for people and cargo
Compare access to the back seats, passenger room and cargo space with the seats in the position you normally use.
Bring your stroller, luggage or everyday gear to see how it fits in the vehicle you’re considering.
Trucks for work and weekends
Start with your passengers, tools and cargo. Compare cab space, bed length and the equipment on each specific truck.
If you plan to tow, ask for towing and payload information for that vehicle’s exact configuration.

A closer look at vehicle condition
What does our used-vehicle checklist cover?
Planet Ford 59’s inspection checklist covers vehicle operation, interior and exterior equipment, underhood components, a road test, tire and brake measurements, and underbody checks. Here are some of the areas included.
Interior and safety equipment
Checks include seat belts, door locks, child safety locks and seat anchors, windows, mirrors, lights, horn, wipers, and heating and air-conditioning operation.
Underhood components
The checklist includes oil and fluid condition, visible leaks, hoses, battery testing, the charging system, air filter condition, and engine and transmission mounts.
Road-test operation
Listed checks include engine performance, transmission operation, brakes and ABS, steering behavior, unusual vibrations, cruise control, and four-wheel-drive engagement where applicable.
Tires and brakes
The form provides for tire tread-depth measurements, tire-condition checks, brake pad and lining measurements, and inspection of brake components and wheels.
Underbody components
Checks include drive shafts, universal joints, axles, CV joints, differentials, steering and suspension components, and visible fluid or fuel leaks.
Exterior and cargo area
The checklist covers glass, exterior lights, body panels, cargo-area equipment, and the spare tire and tools where applicable.
Ask about the vehicle you’re considering.
Inspection findings and completed work are specific to each vehicle. Ask our team to review its available inspection results, reconditioning information and vehicle history report with you.
Checklist items depend on the vehicle and its equipment. A description of the inspection process is not a guarantee of future condition or a substitute for the vehicle’s records.
Ford Blue Advantage
Blue Certified and Gold Certified inspections
Ford Blue Advantage has distinct certification levels. For a vehicle identified as Blue Certified or Gold Certified, ask to see its completed certification checklist and the coverage documents that apply to it.
Blue Certified
The Blue Certified checklist includes a road test, interior and exterior checks, vehicle diagnostics, underhood and underbody components, tires and brakes, and applicable hybrid or electric systems.
The form states that items that do not pass the inspection are repaired or replaced before delivery.
Gold Certified
The Gold Certified checklist includes a vehicle history report, scheduled maintenance, detailed road-test checks, body and interior condition, diagnostics, underhood and underbody components, and tires and brakes.
The form states that items that do not pass the inspection are repaired or replaced before delivery.
Confirm the certification on the individual vehicle. A used vehicle is not automatically Ford Blue Advantage certified. Check its listing and ask our team which certification level, inspection record and warranty documents apply.
Know what comes with your vehicle
Understand your warranty before you buy.
Ask our team to identify the warranty included with the specific vehicle you’re considering and review its written terms with you.
Confirm the covered components, exclusions, deductible, maintenance requirements and repair process. Ask when coverage begins and whether its mileage limit refers to the vehicle’s total odometer reading or miles driven after purchase.
If the vehicle is Ford Blue Advantage certified, request the documents for its certification level. Have the team explain any separately offered coverage as well.
Coverage is governed by the applicable written warranty. Confirm eligibility and terms for your vehicle with the dealership.
Your coverage checklist
- What warranty is included with this vehicle?
- When does it begin, and when does it end?
- Which components are covered or excluded?
- Is there a deductible?
- What maintenance records must I keep?
- Who authorizes repairs, and where should I take the vehicle?
- Is any additional coverage optional and separately priced?
Review the details before deciding
Understand the price, your trade and financing.
Keep these conversations clear by looking at each part of the purchase separately.
The vehicle price
Request an itemized quote for the specific vehicle. Ask the team to identify the selling price, applicable taxes and fees, and any optional products.
Confirm what is included and the total amount before moving forward.
Your trade-in
Start with the trade-in form and provide accurate information about your vehicle’s mileage, condition and equipment.
Ask how the appraisal works and what information the team needs if you still have a loan on the vehicle.

Used-car shopping questions
Does Planet Ford 59 sell used vehicles from other brands?
Yes. Our used inventory includes Ford vehicles and vehicles from other manufacturers. Available makes and models change, so check the current used inventory for today’s selection.
What does the dealership’s inspection checklist cover?
It includes interior and exterior equipment, underhood components, road-test operation, tire tread and brake measurements, and underbody checks. Ask for the available results and completed-work information for the specific vehicle you’re considering.
What is the difference between the Blue and Gold inspection checklists?
Ford Blue Advantage inspection checklists specify 139 inspection points for Blue Certified and 172 for Gold Certified. These are distinct certification checklists, not a statement that every used vehicle has either certification. Ask which program applies to your vehicle and review its completed checklist and coverage documents.
Does every used vehicle have the same warranty?
Do not assume coverage is identical across vehicles. Ask our team to identify the included warranty and review its duration, mileage limit, covered components, exclusions and any deductible. For a certified vehicle, request the documents for its certification level.
How do I find a vehicle within my budget?
Use the inventory price filters, or browse vehicles listed under $20,000. Request an itemized quote to understand the total purchase amount, including applicable taxes and fees.

Yes. Use our trade-in inquiry form to provide information about your vehicle. Our team can explain the next steps in the appraisal process.
