Students, recent grads and military members may qualify for cash back.
Ford Motor Company is one of the largest car manufacturers in the US, making everything from classic pickups to energy-efficient electric vehicles. If you’re thinking about buying a new Ford, compare your financing options to get the best deal.
How can I finance a Ford?
You can finance a new or used Ford through the manufacturer or a third-party lender such as a bank, credit union or online lender. Getting financing through the manufacturer is usually the fastest and easiest way, though you may qualify for better rates through an outside lender if you put in the time to compare options.
If you decide to finance through an authorized Ford dealer, you have two options:
- Ford Credit financing. Choose between the Standard Purchase program that comes with traditional payment terms or the Flex Buy program, which offers a special payment plan with lower payments for the first few years. Some Ford dealers are currently offering 0% APR financing for the first five years on several trucks, SUVs and sedans, though deals vary by location and may require you to meet certain qualifications.*
- Ford Credit leasing. If you want to upgrade to a new car every few years, leasing might be a better choice. Current offers include $239 per month with $3,199 due at signing for a three-year lease on a 2019 Escape or a three-year lease for $209 per month with $2,829 due at signing on a 2019 Fusion Hybrid SE.* Deals vary by location and may require you to meet certain qualifications.
As with all loans, the rates and terms you qualify for will vary based on your credit history and financial situation.
*Offers as of May 1, 2019.

Bottom line
