Certified Pre-Owned Ford Inventory Near Houston, TX

Shopping for certified pre-owned cars near Houston? This page lists the certified used cars, trucks and SUVs on our lot in Alvin, and our certified vehicles come through Ford Blue Advantage, Ford’s certified pre-owned program. Each one has passed a multi-point inspection and includes a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and limited warranty coverage.

We’re on FM 528 in Alvin, about 30 miles south of downtown Houston, so a certified Ford for sale here is an easy drive from Pearland, Friendswood and the rest of the south side. Use the filters on this page to sort by model, price or mileage, then save the vehicles you want to compare. Truck shoppers can also see certified and standard pickups together on our used Ford F-150 page for Houston buyers.

What Is the Difference Between Gold and Blue Certified?

Gold Certified is limited to Ford models up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles, and it pairs 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive coverage with a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Blue Certified covers any make and model that is 10 years old or newer with under 150,000 miles and includes a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty.

  • Gold Certified: 172-point inspection, 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive and 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranties, plus 7 years of 24/7 Roadside Assistance.
  • EV Certified: electric Ford models up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles, a 127-point inspection, 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive and 8-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV Limited Warranties, plus 8 years of roadside assistance.
  • Blue Certified: 139-point inspection, a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty and 90 days of 24/7 Roadside Assistance.

Can a Non-Ford Vehicle Be Certified?

Yes. Blue Certified status is not limited to Ford, so a Chevrolet, Toyota or other brand that meets the age and mileage limits and passes the 139-point inspection can be certified too. That widens your choice of certified used cars in the Houston area without a trip to several dealerships.

What Every Ford Blue Advantage Vehicle Includes

  • A 14-day/1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee, whichever comes first (program conditions apply)
  • A CARFAX Vehicle History Report
  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance, with the length of coverage set by the tier
  • Reconditioning with manufacturer-authorized parts

Ford sets these terms and can update them, so review Ford’s Gold, EV and Blue Certified comparison for current details and conditions before you sign. If the lowest possible price matters more to you than certified coverage, compare these vehicles with our used cars under $20,000 near Houston.
