Why Ford Leasing Might be the Best Move for your Next Ford

Lease, finance, or buy?

This is the biggest question every consumer faces as they head to their local dealer in search of a new vehicle. Buying and financing exist on the same basic principle – you, or you and a lender, pay full price for the vehicle on the day of purchase. You then either own the car outright immediately or after a set period time when the loan is paid off. With both methods, you pay the figurative price of depreciation as soon as the keys are yours. Some vehicles are said to see a decrease in value of over 50% as soon as the tires leave the lot. While the pain is perhaps momentary for customers who buy the vehicle outright, borrowers could be paying for their new vehicle, in some cases, for up to 7 years. They won’t enjoy full ownership until their vehicle is at least a generation behind current iterations.  So what are better options for your new Ford purchase? Ford Leasing options just might be for you.

Ford Lease customers enjoy a totally different ‘purchasing’ experience. After paying fees and taxes up front, you get a brand new car for a monthly payment. After driving the car for three years while obeying mileage limitations, you must make a truly tough choice:

• Buy or lease another new vehicle
• Buy the vehicle
• Return the vehicle

Customers who choose to lease again enter a very enticing pattern of driving a brand new car every three years. Who wouldn’t want to drive a new vehicle, with the latest tech, entertainment, and safety option around? Below, you’ll find more info on why leasing a new Ford could be best the car buying decision you ever make.

A Game of Numbers

Ever find yourself confused at the end of a local car dealer’s commercial? You’re not alone. Between warranty lengths (both miles and years), APR percentage, money down, incentives, and MSRPs, there is a ton to consider when purchasing a new vehicle. While it may be easy to understand for the salespeople at a dealership, you can miss out on critical information. Ford Leasing is a much more streamlined process, one that should make sense to anyone who has ever rented an apartment.

Money, Money, Money

That commercial is yelling numbers at you because they’re important!  APR is a crucial factor in deciding the total you owe every month, as is money down at signing. Factory incentives and the MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) play another part in determining the amount you pay. With a lease, the process is much more streamlined. You simply pay a set amount and can forget amount figures like sales price, taxes, depreciation, and other variables. Your sales tax bill should be lower too; by paying sales tax on the monthly lease payment, you spread out your payments instead of being taxed on a lump sum for the initial purchase.

Warranty-Free Living

A warranty is truly important when buying a new vehicle. You’re making a substantial investment and should be able to drive with the confidence that you’re protected from any routine problems that could occur in the first few years of your car’s life. With leasing, you avoid warranty issues entirely. Every Ford receives a basic warranty for the first three years or 36,000 thousand miles, which happens to match the most common Ford leasing terms perfectly. This means your car will be protected for the entirety of your lease.

It’s a Ford for Me

If you want one simple reason to look into a Ford for your next lease, just remember one letter and 3 numbers: F-150. The F-150 pickup has been the best-selling truck in America for 41 years, meaning it hasn’t seen a second place since, coincidentally, the Ford administration. The reason the F-150 remains a best seller is the same as why Ford remains one of the biggest players in the US market – consistent innovation that creates vehicles perfectly matched to the needs of buyers. From design to powertrains to technology, Ford leads the way. Below are some of Ford’s best performers.

Mustang

After a substantial, retro-fueled redesign for the 2005 model year, the Mustang has solidified a reputation as a comfortable daily driver that doubles as a fun sports coupe or convertible. From the base model EcoBoost to the ludicrously fast GT350, there is a Mustang for every price point and personal style. Under the hood, you’ll find a hyper-efficient EcoBoost engine that produces the power of a V6 with 4-cylinder fuel mileage and two classic V8s.

Inside, the cabin is full of 21st-century technology. Standard features include Intelligent Access with push-button start, built-in performance metrics available in the digital instrument cluster, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and parking brake. For the screen addict in all of us, the Mustang comes with Ford’s Sync infotainment system, a rearview camera, and FordPass, a smartphone app that keeps you updated on scheduled services, gas prices and parking.

F-150

Innovation abounds in the 2019 F-150, beginning with a reinforced titanium truck bed. This bed reduces weight to aid fuel economy while providing the same protection as a steel bed. The new and improved Blind Spot Information System watches not only the truck’s blind spots but those of the trailer too, ensuring you and your cargo make it to your destination safely.

Inside, take advantage of Amazon’s famous personal assistant, Alexa. By using the Ford+Alexa app and connecting the SYNC 3 infotainment system’s AppLink, you’ll have access to Voice Navigation, Traffic Information, over 50,000 Skills, Amazon Prime shopping and can even control your supported Smart Home devices.

Escape

The Escape is built around the goal of helping drivers on the road. Adaptive cruise control lets you set the speed and distance you wish to maintain, and then does all the braking and subsequent re-accelerating, for you. When this is combined with Ford’s Forward Collision Warning with brake support, it provides an additional layer of safety on the freeway and city streets. To increase efficiency and reduce greenhouse emissions from idling at stop lights, the Escape utilizes auto start-stop technology. After coming to a rest at a light, the engine turns off, only to turn back on when you release the brake pedal. Finally, the Escape eliminates one of the most anxiety-inducing parts of driving -fitting into a parallel parking spot. With enhanced Active Park Assist, the Escape will not only find an appropriate spot for you but will also safely steer you into that space – all you need to do is control shifting, accelerating and braking.
