Q: Is it better to finance or lease a new vehicle?? 

 

A: It depends on how long you want to keep your car or how frequently you plan on using it. If you only need your car for a short amount of time, leasing is a better option. Leases revolve around a certain number of months when you make payments to use the car. Then, you return the car to our dealership once that timeframe is over.  

 

Financing or buying means that you’ll make monthly payments until the car belongs to you. Lease payments are typically lower, but you’ll know?when to buy a Ford?if you want to keep your car long-term.?? 

 

Q: Does my credit score matter when I’m applying for financing?? 

 

A: It helps to have a good credit score when you fill out a Ford finance application, but it’s certainly not the only way. Drivers who have lower credit scores or who have not built much credit can get loan or use a cosigner. We’ll work with you and your budget to find an appropriate payment plan.?
