Not every used vehicle is created equal — and at Milnes Ford, we make sure our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) inventory stands above the rest. If you’ve been hunting for a dependable vehicle that offers like-new condition, long-term confidence, and real savings, then a CPO vehicle from our Lapeer showroom is the right move. Each of our certified pre-owned vehicles goes through a rigorous inspection, comes with a warranty backed by the manufacturer, and delivers value that used cars from private sellers simply can’t match. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Milnes Ford’s CPO inventory the smarter, safer, and more rewarding way to drive — and see what standout vehicles we have in stock right now. What Makes a Vehicle Certified Pre-Owned? When a vehicle is designated Certified Pre-Owned, it means it has passed a strict set of standards set by the manufacturer — in our case, Ford or other top automakers like Chevrolet and Honda. That includes: 172-Point Inspection (Ford CPO) Comprehensive Limited Warranty Coverage 24-Hour Roadside Assistance Vehicle History Report Low Mileage & Late Model Years Featured CPO Vehicles at Milnes Ford Here are five standout certified pre-owned vehicles you can drive today: 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS – Only 6,842 Miles! View Listing › Why buy new when you can get a barely driven 2023 Trailblazer RS with just 6,842 miles? It features sharp black accents, sporty RS trim, a turbocharged engine, and serious style — all with Chevy Certified Pre-Owned peace of mind. Why it stands out: Ultra-low miles Bold styling and performance Excellent value vs. new 2024 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD View Listing › A rare CPO gem — this 2024 HR-V is nearly new and loaded with leather seats, sunroof, advanced tech, and all-wheel drive for Michigan roads. Honda’s Certified Pre-Owned program adds peace of mind with extended warranty coverage. 2023 Ford Explorer XLT – Sport Appearance Package View Listing › With under 10,000 miles, this Explorer XLT brings space, capability, and a bold look thanks to the Sport Appearance Package and 20" rims. Room for seven, rugged AWD, and Ford Blue Advantage coverage make it a can’t-miss family SUV. 2023 Ford Maverick LARIAT AWD View Listing › This compact pickup is as practical as it is premium — with LARIAT trim, AWD, and modern tech like SYNC 3 and Ford Co-Pilot360. It’s perfect for work and everyday use with outstanding fuel efficiency and CPO reassurance. 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks 4x4 View Listing › Built for adventure and refined for the road, this Outer Banks Bronco combines off-road capability with upscale features. All-terrain tires, 4x4, tech-savvy interior, and that iconic Bronco styling make this one of the most in-demand CPO vehicles around. Why CPO Vehicles Are a Smart Buy There’s a reason more buyers are choosing certified over new: Lower upfront cost Factory warranties included Newer tech and features Thorough inspections Roadside protection Financing options available Certified Quality Backed by Milnes Ford Our factory-trained service team fully reconditions each CPO vehicle before it hits the lot. Whether it's a Ford, Chevy, or Honda, we make sure every car, truck, and SUV is in peak condition and ready for your driveway. Need financing?

Commercial Inventory If you own a small business, you should know about the Section 179 vehicle list for 2024 because it could save you money and help expand your business. The government created this credit to incentivize small business owners to invest in themselves, but what can it do for you? It can help you purchase the equipment you need now, so you don’t have to wait to generate more cash before making critical business investments. Read on to learn how the Section 179 vehicle list for 2024 can benefit you, who qualifies, and what vehicles you can buy at Milnes Ford. Section 179 at a Glance for 2024 2024 Deduction Limit: $1,220,000 This deduction is available for new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. To qualify, the equipment must be purchased or financed and put into service between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024. 2024 Spending Cap on Equipment Purchases: $3,050,000 This is the maximum amount that can be spent before the deduction begins to phase out. The cap ensures Section 179 benefits remain a true small business incentive, as businesses spending over $4,270,000 won’t qualify. Bonus Depreciation: 60% for 2024 Bonus Depreciation applies after the Section 179 Spending Cap is reached. It’s available for both new and used equipment. For more details on limits and qualifying equipment, contact Milnes Ford today. What is the Section 179 Deduction? The Section 179 deduction allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the first year, rather than spreading it out over several years. This means you can invest in vehicles or equipment now and save when you file your 2024 taxes. However, there are limits: A $1,220,000 cap on the deduction amount for 2024. A $3,050,000 limit on equipment purchases. Spending beyond $4,270,000 disqualifies businesses. Example of Section 179 in Action: Equipment Purchases: $1,300,000 First-Year Write-Off: $1,220,000 Bonus Depreciation (60%): $48,000 Total First-Year Deduction: $1,268,000 Cash Savings: $443,800 Cost After Tax: $856,200 Who Qualifies for Section 179? If your business spends less than $4,270,000 on equipment in 2024, you qualify. Qualifying items include: New and used vehicles. Off-the-shelf software. Equipment placed into service during 2024 and used more than 50% for business purposes. What Models Qualify?
