The Vehicle Is Only Half the Deal

Good Financing Can Matter Almost as Much as the Vehicle Price

Finding the right truck, SUV or car is exciting. Figuring out how to pay for it should not undo all that excitement.

The purchase price matters, but it is only one part of the total transaction.

Interest rate matters. Loan term matters. Down payment matters. Trade equity matters. Manufacturer incentives may matter. The amount financed matters.

At Chuck Anderson Ford, our finance department looks at the entire transaction rather than focusing on one isolated number.

We want to understand the vehicle you want, your financing goals and the available approved lender programs so we can help structure a transaction that makes sense.

Don't Count Yourself Out

We Work With Customers Across the Credit Spectrum

Your credit history does not need to be perfect before you talk to us about buying a vehicle.

Chuck Anderson Ford works with customers in many different financial situations. Some arrive with excellent established credit. Some are buying their first vehicle. Others are rebuilding after past credit challenges.

We do not want you to assume there are no options simply because your credit history is not where you want it to be.

Excellent Credit Our lender network gives well-qualified customers an opportunity to compare available financing programs, including applicable Ford Credit offers.
Good or Fair Credit Different lenders can evaluate the same transaction differently, which is one reason access to multiple institutions can matter.
Challenged Credit Past late payments, collections, bankruptcy or other financial challenges do not mean you should automatically assume financing is impossible.
Limited or No Credit First-time buyers and customers with a thin credit file may have different financing paths available depending on the complete application and transaction.

A Credit Score Is Not the Whole Application

Lenders Look at More Than One Number

Credit history is important, but auto financing is usually a larger conversation than simply asking for a credit score.

Depending on the lender and transaction, factors may include income, employment, debt obligations, amount financed, cash down, trade equity, vehicle age, vehicle mileage and overall ability to repay.

That is why two customers with similar credit scores can receive different financing decisions—and why the same customer may receive different responses from different lenders.

Instead of guessing what may be possible, give our finance team the opportunity to work with the actual transaction.

If you've had credit challenges, our goal is not to judge your past. It is to determine what financing opportunities may exist today.

One Application. Multiple Possible Paths.

From Local Credit Unions to Major National Banks

One of the biggest advantages of financing through Chuck Anderson Ford is access to a broad network of lending institutions.

Instead of forcing every customer into the same lender or requiring you to call financial institutions one by one, our finance team can work with available lenders that fit different types of transactions and credit profiles.

Local Credit Unions Local and regional credit unions can provide competitive automotive financing for qualifying customers and transactions.
Ford Credit Eligible new Ford customers may have access to Ford Credit financing, leasing and manufacturer-supported promotional programs.
Regional Banks Regional financial institutions add another group of programs, underwriting approaches and financing possibilities.
National Lenders Large national banks and automotive lenders can provide additional financing resources across a wide variety of customer profiles.

Having more than one lending relationship matters because the lender with the best program for one customer may not be the right lender for the next.

Why Give the Dealership a Chance?

Your Bank's Approval Can Be a Starting Point—not Necessarily the Finish Line

If your bank or credit union has already approved you, that's useful information. Bring it with you.

Bring Your Pre-Approval

A pre-approval gives you a benchmark for rate, term and amount financed before the dealership submits the transaction elsewhere.

Let Us Compare

Our lender network may provide other available approved programs worth comparing with the financing you already have.

Choose the Better Fit

The objective is not to finance through a particular institution. It is to choose the approved structure that best fits the complete transaction.

Look Beyond the Monthly Payment

Our Goal: The Lowest Overall Cost We Can Help You Obtain

A lower monthly payment does not automatically mean a lower-cost vehicle purchase.

Extending the loan term may reduce the payment while increasing the amount of interest paid over time. A large rebate may sometimes beat a promotional interest rate. A valuable trade can reduce the amount financed. The right down payment may change lender options.

That's why our finance team looks at the entire transaction.

Vehicle Price

Start with the agreed selling price and applicable eligible incentives on the vehicle you've chosen.

Interest Rate

The approved APR influences how much borrowing costs during the life of the loan.

Loan Term

A shorter term may produce a higher payment but can reduce total interest compared with stretching the loan farther.

Trade & Cash

Trade equity and down payment can affect the amount financed and potentially the structure available from lenders.

We want the vehicle of your dreams in your driveway—but we also want the financing attached to it to make sense after the excitement of delivery day is over.

Start With the Vehicle You Actually Want

The Biggest Number Isn't Always the Best Deal

Should You Take the Low Rate—or the Rebate?

New Ford incentives can sometimes create more than one possible path to the same vehicle.

One program may provide a promotional interest rate. Another may provide a larger customer incentive when financed differently.

It is easy to assume that 0%, 1.9% or another promotional rate must automatically be the best choice.

Sometimes it is.

Sometimes giving up a large rebate to obtain that rate can make the total transaction more expensive.

The right comparison depends on the actual incentive amounts, amount financed, approved alternative APR and loan term.

Our finance team's job is to help you look at the math—not just the headline.

Trade Equity Can Change the Financing Conversation

Before deciding how much cash to put down or what payment to target, find out what the vehicle already sitting in your driveway may be worth.

Chuck Anderson Ford offers the Kelley Blue Book® Instant Cash Offer process as a starting point for evaluating your current car, truck or SUV.

If the vehicle is worth more than its payoff, that positive equity may reduce the amount that needs to be financed.

If the payoff is higher than the vehicle's value, our finance team can explain how that negative equity affects the next transaction and what available options may exist.

Understanding the trade before finalizing the loan gives you a more complete picture of the deal.

New Ford or Pre-Owned

Financing Isn't Limited to Brand-New Vehicles

Chuck Anderson Ford helps customers explore financing for eligible new Ford vehicles and qualifying pre-owned cars, trucks and SUVs.

New Ford Financing

New Ford buyers may have access to Ford Credit financing, lease programs and applicable manufacturer incentives in addition to other available lending sources.

Comparing those programs can be particularly important when Ford offers a choice between a financing incentive and a rebate.

Used Vehicle Financing

Financing may also be available on qualifying pre-owned vehicles, subject to lender approval, vehicle age, mileage and other requirements.

That allows customers to compare both vehicle price and financing when deciding whether new or used makes more sense.

Every Credit History Started Somewhere

First-Time Buyers & Customers Rebuilding Credit

Financing can feel intimidating when you have never had an auto loan before—or when your previous credit history has not gone exactly as planned.

First Auto Loan

Limited credit history doesn't automatically mean there are no financing paths. Lenders may consider income, employment, cash down, vehicle choice and other application factors.

Rebuilding Credit

Previous financial difficulty can affect available terms, but it does not mean you should assume nobody will consider the application.

Start With a Conversation

The best way to understand today's options is to work with the actual application instead of deciding in advance that financing is impossible.

The finish line is not a finance contract.

It's seeing the vehicle you wanted sitting in your driveway.
