Chris Auffenberg Ford Expands Inventory with Ford Blue Advantage Program

Chris Auffenberg Ford, based in Washington, Missouri, is now providing access to Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned vehicles. The program allows customers to purchase used vehicles that meet specific criteria set by the manufacturer, including inspections and limited warranty coverage.

By joining the Blue Advantage network, the dealership aims to standardize its pre-owned vehicle offerings for buyers across the Missouri and Illinois regions. Certified vehicles are vetted through a multi-point inspection process and include roadside assistance, shifting the certification process from local dealership standards to corporate-backed requirements.

The addition of these certified vehicles is part of a broader industry shift where dealerships are leaning on manufacturer-backed programs to address fluctuating supply chain conditions in the used car market. This strategy provides buyers with more transparency regarding vehicle condition and longevity compared to standard used inventory.
