Stop by today to check out our huge used vehicle inventory, with plenty of certified pre-owned Fords to test drive!

Your Family’s Vehicle Needs

Start your vehicle search by assessing your lifestyle and your family’s needs. Consider the following and separate the “must-haves” from the “negotiables.”
  • Cargo space
  • Towing capacity
  • Fuel efficiency
  • Tech capabilities
  • Luxury features
  • Off-road handling
Whether you’re looking for a rugged work truck or a family-friendly SUV, Burns Ford of York has you covered!  

Used Car Cost

Used car cost is often a deciding factor. Our sales staff will work hard to find a car that fits in your budget, never pressuring you or trying to put you in a car that’s not right for you. We’ll also make financing a breeze, working with credit unions to get you approved and secure the best rate available.  

Vehicle Inspection

Here at Burns Ford of York, we’ll provide a vehicle history report using the vehicle identification number (VIN). Inspecting a used car can indicate any potential red flags, such as flood damage or damage sustained in an accident, like frame damage or body panel dents. It’s a good idea to open and close the hood and trunk, too. A vehicle history report can also indicate issues that aren’t immediately visible, such as fluid leaks or an air conditioner that doesn’t work properly. Keep in mind that every certified pre-owned vehicle on our lot has undergone a rigorous inspection by our highly-qualified service technicians.  

Warranties

When it comes to vehicle warranties, it’s crucial to read the fine print! Depending on the model year, the vehicle may be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. But either way, you’ll have the option to purchase an extended warranty – and the peace of mind it provides!  

Service Contracts

A service contract helps keep your vehicle on the road, ensuring it receives the proper routine maintenance – such as oil changes, transmission fluid checks and tire rotations. When your vehicle’s warning lights come on or it’s time for a tune up, don’t trust any repair shop! Come on back to Burns.
