Usually, when we’re confronted with two options, we tend to start listing the pros and cons of each option in our heads. But have you ever heard of two options that only have pros? You get these options when you’re deciding to buy a car and how you’re going to pay for it.

Most people don’t have the cash on hand to purchase a car, so they opt for a lease or to pay via a loan. With the lease option, the monthly payment is lower and you can trade up to a new vehicle much sooner. With the loan option, you can shop around with other lenders. You can build equity in the car as you pay it off, and after the payment is done, it is yours.

If you want to know more, contact the finance center at Hamilton Ford in Clovis, NM. We can explain the two options to you in more detail so you can decide which is best for you.

Ford Heritage

Henry Ford revolutionized the “horseless carriage”, (aka automotive) industry when in 1913 he developed the assembly line system. The automobile age began, and American culture and life was changed forever that year. The pickup truck is practically as old as the first widely-available motorcar, the Ford Model T. In fact, people needing work trucks devised a revised model T, which led to Ford releasing the “Model T Runabout with Pickup Body” in 1925. Years later, in 1948, it released the first F-Series Pickup truck. The Ford F-series line, then, really traces back to the Ford model T, which in turn traces its roots back to the birth of American motoring as we know it. Popular for over fifty years, the F-Series has captured the hearts of many an American – and for good reason. Each Ford F-Series generation has sported rugged good looks, toughness, and amazing capability.

There is nothing worse than a breakdown. There is never a right time; although, you might consider yourself lucky should your vehicle quit in your driveway, either after you have returned home or before you leave, but that is a small consolation when your day has zero chance of turning out how you had envisioned.

The fact of the matter is that vehicles break down from time to time, and even a high-quality car will have needs eventually. Nothing lasts forever, but you can improve your car’s longevity in a big way simply by following the recommended service guidelines for fluid changes, tire maintenance, and other things such as windshield wipers, vehicle lights, and brakes.

Every automaker has its own recommended maintenance schedules, and it is definitely in your best interest to know what they are and follow the company’s advice. In addition, some warranties may depend on it. Many things can go wrong and leave you stranded that can be avoided by simple preventative maintenance; for example, replacing worn plugs and wires.

Read your owner’s manual, know what the recommended maintenance is, and bring it into your Hamilton Ford at the proper time to keep you on the road again.
