Ford Credit: Your Full-Service Financing Company
Before going with an automotive financing company, first check out its
credentials. Good advice! Because they are not all equal. Ford Credit, with over
290 locations in 36 countries, is the largest company in the world dedicated to
automotive financing. Ford Credit offers a complete range of financing products
to personal consumers and companies, all available with one-stop shopping
convenience at the dealership. And Ford Credit has garnered more J.D. Power and
Associates awards for customer satisfaction than anyone else. No other financing
company, bank or credit union has these credentials.
When you buy a car or truck, you need all the options available. Some people buy
their vehicles with the intention of owning them for several years, and
financing lets them do that without having to pay the total cost all at once. No
matter what your needs, Ford Credit has a plan that's right for you: A
traditional monthly plan. A seasonal plan that lets you schedule payments to
coincide with periods when most income is acquired. A balloon-note plan, too, if
desired. And there are plans that meet unique situations and needs, such as the
College Graduate Program.
Lease your vehicle from Ford Credit and get the Red Carpet treatment. There are
big advantages to going with a Ford Credit Red Carpet Lease. A low down payment.
More vehicle for the money (versus conventional financing). No lease-end
disposal fees. No trade-in hassles. Complimentary Emergency Roadside Assistance
throughout the term of the lease. And what's more, you can choose the payment
program that suits your needs: a Standard Red Carpet Lease Monthly Payment or
Advance Payment, which offers you a reduction in your lease factor if you pay
all your monthly payments up front.
How important is convenience? Ford Credit has lots of answers. As a full-service
company, Ford Credit offers a wide range of services that go well beyond the
basic financing (buying and Red Carpet Leasing) programs: The convenient
Automatic Payment Program electronically withdraws every monthly payment from
your checking account and applies it to your Ford Credit account.
Instant Account Access is available on Ford Credit's website 24 hours a day
(http://www.fordcredit.com). There are six different Extended Service Plans
available, tailored to individual needs, providing additional coverage beyond
the manufacturer's standard limited warranty. Ford Credit's Customer Service
Center puts the resources of a global company at your disposal no matter where
you are. The Customer Service Center is open Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. (Central Time).
That's real, genuine service that puts you, the customer, first!
Ford Credit offers investment services, too. The Ford Money Market Account is a
fine example. Sixty thousand families invest their money in this account. And
why? Because the Ford Money Market Account provides an above-average return,
easy access, and outstanding convenience. You can receive a prospectus and
enroll by calling 1-800-462-2614, or enroll on-line.
Enjoy the many benefits of Ford Credit. Ford Credit makes applying for a loan
simple. Your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury Dealer can complete your application. Or
easier still, visit the Ford Credit website and make use of the convenient
on-line AutoApply service, which lets you build a vehicle, request a quote, and
even apply for credit. Go to: http://www.fordcredit.com
