Buying a Ford
Guidance on choosing, financing, and purchasing your next Ford.
Why should I buy a Ford?
Ford builds a lineup for almost every need. You can choose from trucks like the F-150, Super Duty, and Ranger, SUVs like the Bronco, Bronco Sport, Explorer, Expedition, and Escape, the Mustang and the all-electric Mustang Mach-E, and Transit vans for work. Explore every model in our Ford Showroom or browse our current new inventory.
Should I buy or lease my next Ford?
Buy if you plan to keep the vehicle for many years and want to own it outright with no mileage limits. Lease if you prefer a lower monthly payment and a new Ford every few years. Buying builds equity and ends your payments once the loan is paid off. Leasing keeps you in a vehicle that stays under warranty and lets you upgrade more often. Contact us and our team will help you match a plan to your budget.
Can I shop for a Ford online?
Yes. You can browse new and pre-owned inventory, book a test drive, value your trade, and apply for financing online. If you have ordered a new Ford from the factory, you can follow its progress with Ford Vehicle Order Tracking. Contact us to get started.
What is a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle?
Pre-owned vehicles with a CPO Eligible sticker can be certified at your request. Certification includes a 172-point inspection by our Ford-trained technicians, 24/7 roadside assistance across Canada and the US, and preferred financing rates. Gold Certified vehicles come with a 24-month / 40,000 km warranty and Blue Certified vehicles with a 6-month / 10,000 km warranty, depending on the vehicle’s age and mileage. Learn more on our Certified Pre-Owned page.
How do I get financing approved?
You can apply online through our Apply for Financing page, and our team will review your options for financing or leasing on new and pre-owned vehicles. Bring details of any trade-in so its value can be factored into your deal. You can also add an extended warranty for extra peace of mind.
Leasing a Ford
How Ford leasing works at Lakewest Ford Lincoln and whether it fits your driving needs.
How does Ford leasing work?
Leasing is similar to renting a Ford for a set term, usually 24 to 60 months, with a fixed monthly payment. You drive the vehicle during the term, stay within an agreed mileage limit, and return it at the end, or buy it if you choose. Because payments cover the vehicle’s depreciation during the term rather than its full price, lease payments are usually lower than finance payments. Contact us to compare options.
What are the benefits of leasing a Ford?
Leasing lets you drive a new Ford every few years, usually for a lower monthly payment than buying, and keeps you in a vehicle that stays under warranty for most of the term. You get the newest technology and safety features with each lease and avoid concerns about negative equity. You can start your application on our Apply for Financing page.
What happens at the end of my lease?
At lease end you have three options: return the vehicle, lease a new Ford, or purchase the vehicle you leased. If you return it, the vehicle should be within the agreed mileage and in reasonable condition. Our team can review your choices before the term ends so the transition is easy. Contact us to plan ahead.
Is there a mileage limit on a Ford lease?
Yes. A lease includes an annual mileage allowance set at signing, and going over it can result in a per-kilometre charge at lease end. If you drive a high number of kilometres each year, let us know up front so we can set an appropriate allowance or discuss whether financing suits you better.
Can I lease a Ford with a trade-in?
Yes. The value of your current vehicle can be applied toward a new Ford lease, which can lower your monthly payment or reduce the amount due at signing. Get your vehicle’s value on our Value Your Trade page and we will factor it into your lease.
Trading In Your Vehicle
What to expect when you trade in your current vehicle at Lakewest Ford Lincoln.
Can I trade in a vehicle that is not a Ford?
Yes. Lakewest Ford Lincoln accepts trade-ins of all makes and models, not only Fords. The value of your trade can be applied toward the purchase or lease of a new or pre-owned vehicle. Start on our Value Your Trade page.
How is my trade-in value determined?
Your trade-in value is based on the vehicle’s year, make, model, mileage, condition, service history, and current market demand. Get an estimate with the online tool on our Value Your Trade page, then our team inspects the vehicle to confirm the final value.
Can I trade in a vehicle I still owe money on?
Yes. If you still have a loan or lease balance, we can appraise the vehicle and apply its value toward what you owe. If the trade-in value is higher than the remaining balance, the difference goes toward your new vehicle. If it is lower, the remaining amount can be included in your new financing. Bring your current loan or lease details so we can calculate the numbers.
What should I bring when I trade in my vehicle?
Bring your vehicle ownership, all keys, your loan or lease details if you still owe money, and any service records you have. Service records help us understand the vehicle’s history and give you an accurate value. Contact us to book a time.
Can I apply my trade-in to a Lincoln?
Yes. Your trade-in can go toward a new or pre-owned Ford or Lincoln. Browse Lincoln vehicles on our Lakewest Lincoln website and our team will apply your trade value to your deal.
