Ways to Save

Find Savings On Your Next New Ford or Used Car

The complexities of finding, financing, and maintaining any vehicle can make life hard on your wallet, even if you have decades of experience navigating the process. But what would the car-buying and ownership experience be like if both a dealership and customer found savings as a common ground? It isn't a pipe dream-it's just what our Philadelphia area shoppers find when they set foot on our lot at Springfield Ford Lincoln. It's part of our Above and Beyond pledge, after all-and ostensibly what brings them back.

But saving you on monthly payments, interest, and overall cost of ownership on your new Ford car, truck, or SUV is only one example of how you can keep more of your hard-earned money! That includes used specials on our pre-owned lineup, as well as the possibility of paying less during your next service visit. Even though everyone's situation is unique, don't count yourself out before reading these tips!

Ways to Save On a New or New-to-You Car

As we mentioned before, the process of acquiring a car involves a lot of moving pieces and details that might conceal opportunities to save, and even lower overall cost of ownership. It might even hide the means of getting into the new or used car you wanted all along. To us, that's less than ideal, so here's what you need to set yourself up for success.

Knowledge is power in the world of car buying, which is why every customer from Wilmington, Chester, and Philadelphia find honesty and transparency when they shop with us. It empowers our shoppers to make an informed decision. Getting your credit application approved before your test drive puts confidence in your corner by knowing what you can spend right out of the gate. It also gives the financing experts at our dealership to get started on your agreement with the savings built in.

Deciding whether or not to loan or lease a new car can also lower what you pay! Where financing the former sees you pay for the total MSRP and interest, leasing bases monthly payments on lost residual value over the agreed term. This alone lowers acquisition and cost-of-ownership expenses. Conversely, while you can only acquire a loan on a pre-owned model, looking into the maintenance records or selecting a certified used car with OEM-supplied warranties and maintenance coverage can make any long-term reliability worries a no-question, no-cost affair!

Lastly, if your schedule can accommodate putting off a car purchase to a certain time of year, you might find a regular or seasonal Ford incentive that really takes the edge off your payments! Year-end holidays, and the beginning of summer and spring are prime times to find excellent deals on new cars and SUVs. Springfield Ford Lincoln also routinely updates our featured new inventory listings with the latest competitive offers on demanded models.

Ways to Save on Maintenance and Long-Term Cost of Ownership

The search for your next car or truck may have you thinking more about the immediate future rather than the more distant kind, but we want you to rest assured that there continue to be ways to lower cost-of-ownership after the paperwork has been signed. You can start this by familiarizing yourself with your OEM and/or dealership warranty, so you know what's included, how long, and how far you can go before it's coverage expires. After that, you can consider yourself set up for the road ahead-and the prospect of having a one-stop-shop for your car-care needs!

Believe it or not, taking your new or used Ford to a service center staffed by OEM-certified technicians also can provides savings opportunities! Having a mechanic with access to all the necessary parts, as well as the experience and expertise with your model prevents frustrating do-overs, or paying more for a component not designed to fit your car in the first place. A constantly-rotating stock of service specials can also work in your favor, too.

But the best way to save on your next car is to get the ball rolling and see what you can find! If you have any questions, contact us at our Springfield, PA dealership. We can be reached by form, live chat, or at (610) 544-0700 to speak to a sales representative.
