When you find yourself sitting behind the driver's seat of your dream car, chances are it is a Ford.  They've been in the news a lot lately.  The 2010 Drive One Tour across the nation is going until November 2010.  Both the 2010 Fusion Hybrid and 2010 Mustang earned Consumers' Top Rated Vehicles Awards.  Fitting with the summer season, the 2011 Mustang landed a spot on KBB's Top 10 Road Trip Cars.  These headline articles are bringing consumers to North Carolina Lincoln Dealer as well as dealerships across the nation.

Now that you have found the perfect car, you have to find a way to pay for it.  Luckily, because you have chosen the second-largest car manufacturer in America, Ford incentives offered by the company will significantly lower the sale price.  Summer is always a hot time to buy a new vehicle.  Current offers for the month of June will vary by dealership and your individual financial standing, but typically include low or even 0% APR for 36 months or a cash back allowance.  Once you factor in these offers with Ford's already fair prices, the balance remaining is easily financed through Ford Credit Services and their many financing options.

Ford gives you the option to finance the purchase of a vehicle, several lease options, and flex buy.  When you use any of Ford Credit's services, you have access to online account access for easy management.  Purchasing a vehicle helps you build your credit and you own your vehicle when your loan is paid.  Leasing a vehicle often has mileage restrictions, but gives you the freedom to change your vehicle often.  Flex buy offers two payment rates for the duration of your vehicle loan, so the first half of your loan may have lower payments and the second half will have higher payments.  Flex buy is a way to budget your current and future financial capabilities.

Ford Credit has been in business since 1959.  Their expertise can help you get into your next vehicle without breaking the bank!

Ford reaches for the stars with the 2010 Taurus, bringing in technologies that you would expect in the more upscale Lincoln brand.  The 2010 Ford Taurus and the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, have significant updates this year.

The 2010 Ford Taurus and the 2010 Buick Lacrosse are two well-known American nameplates from longtime Detroit car manufacturers. Both cars have been remade in the new youthful image of their manufacturers. Both cars have six cylinder engines with a six-speed gearbox, and both cars come in all-wheel drive.You can test drive the Buick at any Jersey City Buick Service center and for the Taurus, look for Ford Specials in your area.

The Taurus test model came with all of the bells and whistles, including some useful new technology like adaptive cruise control, collision warning and blind spot monitoring. That made for a technology-heavy car at a technology-heavy and substantial (as tested price) of $40,485. That’s a big jump from the base Taurus that starts at $25,170.

Not to be outgunned, the LaCrosse came with it’s own holster of the newest and most expensive in car entertainment and technology, including a heads-up display, keyless start and ultrasonic rear parking assist. The big difference is the price: $35,865 for the test model. That’s still an $11,000 premium from the base LaCrosse at $26,245.

Either car would be a great, safe purchase.  When financing, be sure to shop around for your best rate.  Shop credit unions, banks and dealerships.  Check your credit score before shopping around.  If your score is on the low side, try to bring it up before purchasing.  You can do this by paying down some of your higher interest rate cards.  If you do not have enough credit, get yourself a gas card and pay it off monthly.  A shared-secured credit card is a great way to build credit as well.   There are many financing deals around these days.  Shop smart and have fun.
