Ford Deals for October

October 8, 2009

ford-deals-for-october Ford is a little late to the October incentives game but has now come through with a number of excellent deals, in the form of some hefty factory-to-customer rebates and good low-interest loan rates, including 0% APR loans on nearly all it’s vehicles for 36 month loan terms.

Some vehicles have 0% APR loans for other loan terms. For example, the 2009 Ford Explorer gets 0% for 36, 48, and 60 months.

Ford’s current deals are a little strange in that some vehicles get better incentives on the 2010 models than on 2009 models. This might be explained by a shortage of 2009 inventory as a result of the very successful “cash-for-clunkers” program in August and September. There’s no need to put incentives on vehicles they don’t have to sell.

Following are some examples of current Ford new-car deals for October (until 11/02/2009). As usual, customers must accept either the rebate or the low-interest loan, but not both. We advise that, in most cases, rebates are usually a better deal, especially if the customer needs down payment money — which the rebate can serve for.

2010 Ford Edge – $2000 customer rebate, 0% APR loan rate for 36 months, 0.9% for 60 months, 1.9% for 60 months, and 3.9% for 72 months.
