Buying From Jim Burke Ford

Jim Burke Ford sells new Ford vehicles and usually takes trade ins, so its used lot is a mix of brands. A certified car from the brand program comes with a factory backed warranty. A used car that is not certified is sold on the same terms as any other used car, so read the window sticker. How certified cars work.

Whatever the grade, the grade is about the dealer. The car is its own question. Ask the dealer if an independent inspection is allowed before you sign. A good lot says yes.

Can I get a car at Jim Burke Ford inspected before I buy?

Ask the dealer to hold the car while it is checked.

How is the grade worked out?
