Milnes Ford | Your Hometown Dealer in Lapeer, MI
Trusted. Local. Family-Owned.

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
