Lunghamer Ford FAQs Frequently Asked Questions in Owosso, Michigan

How should I get ready for a test-drive in Owosso, Michigan?

To test-drive any model in our inventory, all you need is a valid driver’s license! But we also recommend doing a little research beforehand — that way you know what models you want to test and which of their features you want to explore.

What’s the point of a test-drive?

While it’s possible to purchase a car online, it’s not especially advisable. When you visit the dealership, you can check out multiple options before you make your purchase — something that’s not possible when you shop online. Testing more models will help you find the perfect vehicle and get the most for your money. Buying a new car is a big investment, not a flippant online purchase!

What should I ask before buying a car?

If you have any questions about your purchase, your dealer rep can walk you through the details. We’ll fill you in on your car’s MSRP, dealer fees, lease terms, and more. It’s also a good idea to ask about leasing specials and other sales! We can also help you with questions about the vehicles themselves, whether you’re shopping for a specific tow rating or luxury features.

Should I factory-order or buy from the dealership lot?

Most people can find what they want at the dealership! But some drivers have specific requirements for their work trucks, family SUVs, and sports cars. If you’re shopping for a certain paint color, luxury package, or engine upgrade, our team at Lunghamer is happy to order your model straight from the factory!

Do you offer pickup and delivery or mobile services?

I’m not sure if I should lease or finance. Which is better?

The better question is which method is right for you! For a lower monthly payment, consider leasing. When you lease, you agree to limit mileage and overall wear-and-tear, because you’re going to return the vehicle to the dealer at the end of your lease. Instead of paying the full value of the vehicle, however, you only pay for its depreciation. Once your lease is up, you can sign up to drive another brand new car!

On the other hand, financing means you’ll eventually own your vehicle. You’ll take out a loan for the full value of your new car, truck, or SUV. When you pay it off, you’re free and clear of monthly payments and you can do with your vehicle what you please. Financing is a better option for drivers who don’t want to worry about mileage and other limitations!

Does Ford offer lease-end purchase options?

Yes! If you reach the end of your lease and don’t want to give up your vehicle, you can purchase it. See your lease agreement or ask your Ford sales rep for details.

Can I finance a new car before I pay off my current one?

You certainly can. Our finance team will help you roll what you owe on your current vehicle into the finance terms of your new car, truck, or SUV. Then, you’re free to trade in your current model to help pay for your new one!

How much car can I afford?

Great question! To help you figure out which cars, trucks, and SUVs are in your budget range, we offer online credit approval. We even provide options for drivers with no credit or bad credit! To help finalize your plans, you can also estimate your car’s trade-in value before you arrive.
