Ford Financing FAQs
Should I buy or lease a Ford?
Both buying and leasing offer excellent benefits for drivers around Bonita Springs, however, your choice will depend on your objectives and preferences. Financing involves taking out an auto loan to pay for the vehicle; once paid off, the vehicle is yours. On the other hand, leasing means you are essentially "renting" the car and making regular payments over an agreed period. At lease end, you may return or buyout the leased vehicle.
What interest rates are available to finance a car?
Interest rates on auto loans fluctuate based on your credit score and lender's terms. Generally speaking, interest rates can range from 3% up to 10%. Some lenders may offer promotional low-interest financing on certain models or for individuals with exceptional credit.
What kind of down payment is required?
While it's not always essential to make a down payment when financing a car, we recommend putting down at least 10% of the vehicle's price if possible. This strategy can help reduce your monthly payments and decrease overall interest costs over time.
How can I determine the value of my trade-in?
You can use our online value your trade tool for an approximate value assessment of your current vehicle. However, we recommend scheduling an in-person appraisal at Coconut Point Ford for precise valuation.
What if I don't have credit history?
Not having any credit history doesn't disqualify you from purchasing a car, however, it may require larger down payments and higher interest rates. Alternatively, consider applying for subprime loans at our dealership.
What is a subprime loan?
A subprime loan caters specifically towards borrowers with low credit scores who pose as higher risk candidates for lenders. While these loans typically come with higher interest rates, they could be your route towards driving home in that dreamy Mustang or spacious Explorer SUV.
