Ford Wheels and Deals

March 26, 2009

fordflex Ford is offering cash-back rebates on practically every vehicle in it’s model line – good until March 31, 2009.

For example, on the popular Ford Flex, you can get $4000 cash back, plus an additional $500 if you are in active military or are a college student.

With such a large rebate, this is a great way to get into a car with little or no down payment. The rebate can be used as your down payment. It’s treated as if it came out of your own pocket.

Other models with large cash-back rebates are:

Ford Fusion
Ford Explorer
Ford F-150
Ford Taurus and Taurus X
Ford Expedition
Ford Escape
Ford Mustang
Ford Focus

Many models in Ford’s Lincoln and Mercury line also have high rebates, such as the Lincoln Navigator with $4000 cash back, and the Mercury Grand Marquis with a whopping $5000 back — and these are all 2009 models, not 2008.

However, you want a leftover 2008 Ford you can get even better deals — up to $6000 and $7000 back on such models as the Ford Explorer and Ford F-150, or up to $8000 back on a nice Lincoln Navigator luxury SUV. Practically every 2008 model in the line has large rebates available that are designed to get them off dealer’s lots and out of Ford’s inventory.

Nearly all models also have low-interest rate loan deals available too, but you can’t take the rebate and the low-APR loan together. It’s one or the other. However, for most people the rebate is nearly always the better deal, especially if you are short on down payment cash.

Note that rebate amounts and availability might vary depending on your area of the country.
