Our company, Levittown Ford, has been selling top quality brand new and pre-owned Ford vehicles for the past several years. As a long-standing Ford dealer in Long Island, we have had the privilege of pairing thousands of drivers up with the right vehicles and at the right price possible. Wondering how you can score the best deal on your new ride? It all starts with setting the right budget.
Figure Out Your Budget
One of our Ford dealer financial experts here at Levittown Ford will gladly help you set a budget, but how much you can or are willing to spend will come down to how much you can realistically afford. If you are having a difficult time setting a budget for yourself, consider seeking advice from an accountant, a financial lending expert, or discuss your budget and vehicle needs with a money-savvy friend.
* Unable to afford a new vehicle? We are proud to boast an extensive collection of pre-owned vehicles, all of which have been pre-certified by one of our expert and knowledgeable mechanics here at Levittown Ford.
Weigh the Pros and Cons of Buying and Leasing
Depending on your finances and your own personal preferences and needs, leasing a vehicle may end up being a better option than buying a vehicle. Leasing comes with a number of benefits, such as:
* Lower monthly payments
* Little to no down payment
* An extensive manufacturer’s warranty
Through leasing, drivers are able to enjoy driving a better quality vehicle and are less financially committed than if they were to buy. With that said, buying a vehicle means you can keep the vehicle once it is paid off. If you are struggling with the decision, one of our friendly Ford dealer staff members will be happy to discuss this with you.
Be On the Lookout for Incentives
Our dealership will have special deals or promotions from time to time, all of which can be seen online by clicking on our website’s “Specials” tab. Through these incentives, drivers can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars on both the immediate purchase price of the vehicle as well as long-term expenses (such as lower or reduced interest rates). Some common incentives include:
* Receiving top dollar for your trade-in
* Cut-rate financing offers
* Limited incentives available to certain individuals (such as military personnel, recent college graduates, or owners of Ford vehicles)
Be Willing To Walk Away
Though we hate to admit it, one of the best ways to get the best deal on a new or used vehicle is being able to walk away from it. Drivers and dealerships have to work together to come to an agreement where both parties will benefit from the sale of the car. If at any time you are not getting the deal you want, thank the salesperson for their time and walk away.
