Intellichoice ranks the certification programs of 30 automotive manufacturers on its Web site. Ford has an online pre-owned showroom that allows customers to search for certified used Fords in the New York, Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco metropolitan areas as well as the state of Oklahoma. Once the customer chooses a car online, it will be delivered to a nearby Ford dealership for a test drive within 48 hours. Prices aren't negotiable Those who like to haggle over car prices may want to try their luck elsewhere. The prices, which are listed online next to calculators for determining monthly payments, are nonnegotiable.
Most experts feel that a car that has been certified by a manufacturer is worth the extra cash.
