Once you plug in the vehicle price, the interest rate, and the length of the auto loan, you can compare monthly payments for each of the vehicles on your short list.

Get Pre-Approved

By filling out our secure Credit Application from the comfort of your own home, you can save even more time and energy by getting pre-approved for an auto loan. Filling this out gives our team the information they need to get started on your process. Along with saving time at the dealership, you’ll get to see a preview of your potential financing options, allowing you to get better prepared.

Value Your Trade-in Vehicle

With our Value Your Trade tool, you can quickly figure out how much your current vehicle is worth if you’re considering trading it in toward your next set of wheels. Then, if you choose to proceed with the trade-in offer, you can apply its value toward the down payment on your next Ford or other model. Our tool will provide an approximate value of your car just by answering a few simple questions.

Boosting Your Car’s Trade-in Value

Getting an idea of your car’s trade-in value is the start of your trade process. Before you bring your current car to our team of appraisers for your trade, you can prepare your car for our team and increase its appraisal value. Here’s how you can get it done.

First, keep a detailed service record of any work performed on your car. Having these on hand gives potential buyers a better idea of the car’s history. You can also have routine maintenance like oil changes and brake inspections completed just before sale, as it saves the next driver from doing it.

Second, take your vehicle to a car detailer before you trade it in. Detailers use special high-quality cleaners and tools to refresh the look and feel of your vehicle both inside and out. A clean and shiny car will attract more potential buyers, increasing the amount you’ll get for it at trade.


Buying vs Leasing: Which Is Right for You?

When it comes to deciding whether to buy or lease your next car, there are a few different factors to consider. Both options come with their own set of benefits and either one may be a better fit for you at this time.

Benefits of Buying or Financing

Buying a car means paying for it in full. However, most car shoppers choose to put a down payment toward the value of the car and then finance the remaining balance with an auto loan from a trusted lender, like a financial institution. The auto loan principal and accruing interest is then paid off over time through monthly payments.

Once the auto loan has been completely paid off, the driver won’t have to make any more monthly payments and will own the vehicle outright. Buying or financing is a good option if:

  • You want to drive the vehicle for an unlimited number of years and miles
  • You want to personalize or customize the vehicle with accessories
  • You want the option to trade in or sell the vehicle at some point down the line

Ownership is the major appeal when it comes to financing. Having full ownership of your car gives you the freedom to do with it what you want.

Benefits of Leasing

Leasing, on the other hand, does not result in vehicle ownership. It’s like renting a vehicle for a term that usually lasts between 24 and 36 months. However, at the end of the lease, you’ll have the option to simply return it, trade it in for a new lease, or buy or finance it to make it your own. Leasing is a good option if:

  • You want to upgrade to a newer vehicle every few years
  • You want warranty coverage to be included with the vehicle
  • You don’t want to spend time or energy trading in or selling the vehicle in the future

Leasing your vehicle gives you the freedom of keeping your options open later on. If you anticipate a change in lifestyle, such as starting a family or downsizing after retirement, you can lease an entirely different model later to match your needs. Leasing also comes with lower monthly payments and the perk of skipping the down payment, making it even easier to sign and drive.
