Certified Pre-Owned Mercury
Mechanical Reconditioning Process
To insure that each Mercury Certified Pre-owned Vehicle offers the level of performance and comfort Mercury demands, each pre-owned Mercury undergoes a comprehensive mechanical reconditioning process during certification. This process includes correction to standard of all items noted on the Vehicle Inspection Checklist by the authorized Service Technician. If a part is found to be sub-standard during this inspection, only new Ford/Motorcraft or Ford Authorized Remanufactured Parts may be used to replace it.
Eligibility
To maintain an equitable baseline standard of quality, any Mercury vehicle from the current or five previous model years is eligible for certification under the Mercury Certified Pre-owned program.
For example, as of the 2008 model year, model years eligible for certification are: 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
The actual model types accepted are Mercury cars and SUVs.
Inspection Process
To earn the designation of Mercury Certified Pre-owned Vehicle, each pre-owned car must undergo and successfully complete a rigorous 169-point inspection. And this inspection can only be conducted by an eligible service technician who has successfully completed Program Awareness training
Powertrain
Each Certified Pre-Owned Mercury comes equipped with warranty coverage* that works as hard as you do. The new 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty coverage covers the engine, transmission, and more – see below. For extra peace of mind, 24/7 roadside assistance (towing, jump starts for dead batteries, flat-tire changes on-site, and lock-out services) is included for the duration of the warranty. It is all part of a focused effort to deliver more – value, enjoyment and, most of all, satisfaction.

Comprehensive
New for 2008 (starting in April) is the additional comfort of our comprehensive limited warranty* – included with every Mercury Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. The comprehensive limited warranty covers more than 500 components, including many high-tech parts (hybrid, SYNC, etc.). The Mercury Certified Pre-Owned Comprehensive Limited Warranty provides coverage for 3 months or 3,000 miles from the Certified Pre-Owned purchase date, whichever comes first.
$100 Deductible
For each visit to a participating Mercury Dealership for repairs and/or service (during the limited warranty period) a $100 deductible will apply.
Subsequent Owner Warranty
At any time, should you choose to sell your Pre-Owned Mercury, the remaining Mercury Certified Pre-Owned warranty coverage remains in effect for the new owner. This further enhances the resale value of your Certified Mercury
