When you're getting ready to purchase your new Ford, you may not think of getting financing directly through your dealership. However, your dealership is often the best choice for obtaining financing to purchase your vehicle. Here are four great reasons for getting your car financing directly from your Ford dealer. 1. It's a Lot More Convenient Getting financing at the same time and place as you purchase your vehicle just makes more sense. It saves you the time of traveling and/or phoning your bank branch and conveying information back and forth. All that extra time may even mean that you could lose out on your vehicle of choice. Your dealership is ready and willing to finance your vehicle and has the paperwork and information to get it all done fast and easily after you select your vehicle. more 2. You're More Likely To Get a Loan Banks have a lot of guidelines and requirements around obtaining loans, and unless you have a great credit score, you may not meet them. Or even if you do meet their stringent terms, your bank may not be flexible on the interest rates, amount, or repayment terms, so you may be limited in the amount you can borrow and comfortably pay back. Your car dealership is committed to getting you into the car you want to purchase. Therefore, their financing department is more likely to extend a loan amount with more manageable terms, even if your credit isn't great. 3. You'll Get a Better Deal Unlike banks and large financial institutions that make their money off the interest on your loan, dealerships make their money by selling you a vehicle. This means that when it comes to negotiating interest rates and other payment terms, car dealerships are a lot more likely to be flexible so they can make the sale. Often this means they may not even require a down payment, and they'll likely offer you very low interest rates. 4. You May Get a Better Vehicle As we just mentioned, car dealerships make their money by selling you a vehicle, not on interest payments they receive. This means they may be willing to negotiate a higher loan amount or offer you more flexible repayment terms to help you purchase a larger or more expensive vehicle. At Coughlin Ford of Circleville, we aim to provide you with the best car-buying experience possible. Our award-winning team is ready to assist you in your vehicle selection, obtaining the financing you need, and maintaining your vehicle for many years to come. Call or visit Coughlin Ford of Circleville today to view our vast inventory or ask any questions.

The alternator is a small generator in your Ford that produces electrical power for your car's systems and devices. It's a relatively simple component, but time and wear can cause it to fail. A damaged alternator will cause serious problems for your car, including starting problems and a dead battery. These are some signs that it's time to visit your Ford dealer for an alternator repair. Slow Accessories When your alternator is working correctly, it produces more than enough power for all your car's systems. When an alternator gets older, it begins to slow down. Its worn components have greater difficulty in producing electricity to the same level that they once did. This process is gradual, but it will become noticeable when the alternator can't supply all of your car's electrical demands. Usually, the first signs you'll see of this problem are accessories that operate slower than they should or suddenly stop. A sunroof that freezes while it's closing or a radio that switches off is a potential sign that your alternator is failing. If these problems aren't investigated, they will get worse. Our technicians can test your alternator and install a new one if the old one is failing. more Damaged Wiring Your alternator could be in good working condition, but the wiring that connects the various components could be damaged. Over a mile of wiring connects all your car's accessories and devices to the alternator. The wires are surrounded by thick rubber and plastic insulation to protect them from the heat and dirt inside the engine. Despite the best protection, wiring can become worn due to age. The subtle movement of the wire as your car moves can also cause gradual wearing. In addition, metal connectors can rust or loosen. Any damage to the wiring can lead to electrical shorts or cut-off power to vital components. We can test your wiring and replace any worn or damaged sections. Battery Warning Light The battery warning light on your dash is connected to a variety of sensors throughout your electrical system. These sensors monitor the battery, alternator, starter motor, and other parts of the electrical system for potential problems. The sensors are sensitive enough to detect even a tiny problem with a component and send an immediate warning to your car's computer. If your battery warning light is illuminated, call our service department right away. Our Ford-trained technicians can easily trace the cause of the problem and repair it before it causes any damage. A damaged alternator can sometimes be repaired, depending on the cause of the problem. If you suspect you have an alternator problem, call us right away at Coughlin Ford of Circleville.
