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. Does leasing a car seem appealing to you? Come experience the benefits of leasing at Ed Martin Ford in Anderson, IN.

At your Ford dealership, we provide a full range of services and maintenance to keep your vehicle in great condition. Inevitably parts will age and wear out, and this affects vehicle performance. We want to tell you more about some of the types of maintenance we provide. more Engine Air Filter Replacement Combustion requires air and fuel; these elements must mix in a precise ratio of 14:1 air-to-fuel to achieve efficient combustion. Air enters the engine through the radiator grille, and then passes into the engine air filter. This concertina-like filter traps dirt, dust, twigs, and other debris, cleaning the air so it can pass into the engine. As time passes, the filter becomes clogged with dirt, restricting airflow. When your engine doesn't get enough air, the air-to-fuel ratio turns fuel-rich. The higher fuel concentration increases carbon buildup in your engine, which damages the spark plugs and lowers fuel economy as much of the fuel won't burn and is wasted. Replacing the filter is quick, and your engine performance and fuel economy will return to normal. Alternator Repair or Replacement The alternator is a mini generator that produces electricity for all your vehicle systems. It's tough, with few working parts, and will usually work for at least eight years before it needs replacement. Despite this, parts like the stator, which converts magnetic energy into AC, or the rectifier, which converts AC to DC can wear out and reduce or cut off the electricity supply to your Ford. An aging alternator slows, reducing the amount of power it supplies. This slowdown is irreversible and will steadily worsen until the alternator can't supply enough power for all your vehicle's systems and devices. Random electrical glitches, starting problems, and other issues will appear when this happens. Our technicians can repair your alternator or install a new one to fix these issues. Brake Fluid Replacement The brake fluid provides the hydraulic power that forces your braking system to work. It's highly pressurized and capable of working effectively at high temperatures. Like all vehicle fluids, it will age and become less effective. Older fluid will absorb water, and this can result in braking problems. Brake fluid heats due to the pressure in the system, and the water inside can boil. As the water boils, the brake fluid heats and the hot fluid can't supply hydraulic power. This is dangerous, as your brakes won't work. If you smell a hot chemical stench when braking, contact us ASAP so we can check your brakes. If the fluid is overheating, we'll drain and replace it and your brakes will work correctly again. If you'd like to know more about our available maintenance to book a service, contact us today at Ed Martin Ford in Anderson, IN.
