So, you’re in the market for a new vehicle, but you don’t have quite enough cash on hand to pay for it outright. Financing the vehicle means you can drive it home today, and fortunately, your local dealer can help. Here’s why you should look no further than your local Ford dealer for car financing. 


1. It’s Usually the Fastest Option

Financing your new car or truck through the dealership is usually the fastest and most convenient approach. You can pick out a vehicle, negotiate the price, and arrange financing without ever leaving the dealership. We know you’ll be excited about your new vehicle, and arranging the financing through your dealership is the fastest way of getting behind the wheel.


2. It’s a Great Deal

Most dealerships have large financing departments that work on getting each buyer a competitive interest rate. Once you’ve filled out a financing application, your dealer will shop it around to multiple lenders and bring a set of offers back for you to select from. The fact that you’ll have various offers to choose from guarantees that you’ll find a financing package that suits your financial situation.


3. It’s a Solution for Those With Poor Credit

If you’ve got poor credit and are worried about your ability to qualify for financing, a dealership that offers in-house financing is the perfect place to go. When you take advantage of in-house financing, you’re borrowing directly from the auto dealership, not from an independent financial institution. You then pay back the amount you borrowed, plus interest fees, to the dealership.

A dealership with in-house financing may take a more lenient approach when evaluating your credit score and your overall financial picture. Even if your credit isn’t great, you still stand a good chance of being offered financing when you work with a dealer that offers in-house financing.


4. It May Open Up a Special Offer

Some buyers who finance through the dealership qualify for special promotional financing, which usually carries an ultra-low interest rate or, in some cases, no interest rate at all. These offers are usually available only to customers with excellent credit scores. If you’re able to score promotional financing, you can rest assured that you’re being offered extremely low-cost financing.


5. It Won’t Matter Who You Know

One of the great things about financing through a dealership is that it doesn’t matter who you are or who you know. Dealerships will work with anyone to get a great financing package. It doesn’t matter how much money you make or if you’ve purchased cars from that dealership before. A good dealer will partner with you and advocate on your behalf when reaching out to lenders.

Car shopping is fun, and getting comfortable with the financing process helps you relax and enjoy picking out your next car or truck. What are you waiting for? Head to Crain Ford of Little Rock and pick out a brand new vehicle today!
