As your trusted Ford dealership, we want to give you a few of the many reasons why we're the best choice for your financing options when you want a new Ford. more Your Trade-In Is Valuable When you already have a car but want to replace it with a new Ford, you'll probably want to get rid of your old car. A bank or credit union isn't interested, as your original car isn't important to them. They're only interested in your credit rating, income, and other information they use to determine if they'll grant you a loan. As a dealer, we know your original car has value, just as you do. We provide a handy online tool on our website that allows you to value your vehicle in seconds. We'll need your VIN and a few simple details, and you'll receive a cash offer within seconds. Print out the offer and bring your car in. We'll quickly check it out to confirm the valuation, and you can trade it in at this value to reduce the price of your new Ford. Faster Response If you go to a bank or credit union for an auto loan, you'll need to complete their application, possibly have several meetings at the institution, and then wait for their decision. If the institution refuses your application, you must start the process again at another institution. We don't think you should have to wait, nor do our loan providers. You can complete the quick and easy loan application on our website. Once you submit it, one of our finance team will contact you ASAP to confirm your application details. We then submit your application to our large pool of loan providers, and you can expect to receive offers from them within a day or even on the day you apply. Easier Credit Banks and credit unions have strict criteria for loan approvals. These criteria are set by their home offices, and the local branches have very little discretion. Your credit rating is very important to both institutions. If you have a good credit score, they're more likely to offer you a loan. If you have average credit or credit that needs improvement, they'll probably refuse. Our loan providers can look beyond your credit score, and we'll help you get you a great deal that you can afford that will also increase your credit rating as you make payments.

Leasing benefits drivers in so many different ways, making it a really appealing option. Your Ford dealership can lease you a car instead of selling you one if that's what you'd prefer. Let's take a look at some of the benefits of leasing so you can choose between that and getting a car loan. more 1. Leasing Benefits People Who Love New Things People who enjoy getting new things regularly may enjoy leasing instead of buying. On average, people buy a new car every eight years. This means you get something new a lot less often than with leasing, as leases last two to three years most of the time. Getting new cars regularly lets you access all the latest technology often, including improvements in driver assistance and other safety technology. 2. Leasing Saves You Money On Your Car Payment The price of a car lease tends to be lower than the cost of repaying a car loan each month. This is because you're paying less for your car overall. Instead of paying the car's full price, you pay for how much it'll depreciate during your lease. You'll also likely pay some other fees, but the price still often comes out to less than the monthly price of paying back a car loan. 3. Leasing Saves You Money On Your Down Payment Leasing can save you money up front, as you don't need to pay a 20% down payment like you usually do when buying a car. You might have to pay for the first month up front, and there are a few fees you need to pay at the start of the lease, but the combined cost is usually lower than a typical down payment. You could even save over $1,000, if not more, depending on the car and the lease offer you get. 4. Leasing Is a Hassle-Free Process With leasing, there's no shopping around for a loan, fixing up your car before you sell it, and then arranging to sell or trade-in your vehicle when you're finished with it. You fill in some paperwork, pay the up front payments, and then the car is yours for the next few years. When your lease is up, you bring the car to the dealer, pay any outstanding fees, and pick your next car. It's all quick and convenient. 5. Leasing Lets You Get Better for Less Because leasing costs less every month, you may be able to get a better car than you'd be able to afford when purchasing one. The couple hundred dollars you're saving on your car payment each month could be put toward leasing a car with more convenience, comfort, or entertainment features.
