1. Should I be buying from an American automaker?
The first big option you should consider when you are looking to buy right now is to buy American! While the tariffs are causing issues, you will be able to avoid almost all of the big price increases by finding an American brand that suits your needs the best. We think you should be considering Ford for this very option, as we are not raising our prices! You’ll be able to find the top Ranger, Escape, Explorer, or F-150 that you have wanted for years. Beat the tariffs, and find yourself the very best Ford model at Susquehanna Ford. Feel free to test drive the car you’ve been checking out to make sure that it is suited to your needs.
2. Consider leasing your next vehicle!
We want to remind you that you don’t necessarily need to purchase your next vehicle! Leasing is a great option for everyone to consider, especially when tariffs are leading to a little more uncertainty. When you lease a Ford vehicle through Susquehanna Ford, you are paying for the depreciation of the vehicle, not the overall cost. This leads to a more affordable monthly payment that could be just what the doctor ordered. These short-term contracts can help with the uncertainty, especially if you don’t quite know where you want to be in three years. Allow leasing to alleviate stress, and still get you the Ford model that you have been searching for.
3. Don’t forget to check for manufacturer deals
Ford is always making sure that customers can save as much money as possible. That’s why, especially during tariffs, it’s even more vital that you stay up-to-date on the latest deals that are available to you. Our sales and finance teams are experts, and not only can you ask them questions about deals, but they’ll likely be the ones to tell you about the deals in the first place. You’re a part of the Susquehanna Ford family now, and we can’t wait to be with you step by step throughout this process. Feel free to give us a call if you’re curious about how you can save on your next Ford!
4. Should I be worried about my credit score?
When it comes to buying any vehicle, we highly recommend being as up-to-date on your credit score as possible. Our biggest goal has always been to put the power of information in the hands of our customers. Regardless of the score you are working with, our finance team will be here to figure out the very best deal that still has you saving money. This could also be a great opportunity to try to improve your credit score by paying down debts, focusing on making on-time payments, and more! Still confused? Contact our finance center, and they’ll ensure that you feel confident when you make your next decision with us.
