Our Experts Answer Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Financing
What factors impact my monthly car payment?
Your monthly car payment depends on several factors, including the vehicle's price, loan term, interest rate and any down payment or trade-in value applied. Our finance team at Bob Johnson Ford will work with you to find the best terms that suit your budget.
What's better: buying or leasing a Ford?
Buying is ideal for those who want to own their vehicle long-term, while leasing is a great option if you prefer lower monthly payments and the ability to drive a new Ford every few years. Our finance specialists can help you compare Ford lease deals in New York to determine which option is best for you.
Does my credit score affect my loan approval?
Yes, yourcredit score plays a major role in securing an auto loan. Higher credit scores often qualify for better interest rates, but even if your credit is less than perfect, our finance experts will work with you to explore flexible financing solutions.
Can I finance a Ford with no credit or bad credit?
Absolutely. We partner with a variety of lenders to help customers with all credit backgrounds. Whether you're a first-time buyer or rebuilding your credit, we'll help you secure financing that fits your needs.

Can I lower my monthly payments after financing a vehicle?
Yes, you may have the option to refinance your auto loan if interest rates drop or if your credit score improves. Our finance team can evaluate your loan terms and help you determine if refinancing is a smart move for you. Use our car payment calculator tool to get an initial estimate of monthly payments.
What's the best loan term for my budget?
Loan terms typically range from 24 to 72 months or more. Shorter terms come with higher monthly payments but lower overall interest costs, while longer terms have lower payments but may cost more in interest. We'll help you compare options to find the best fit.
Can I sell my car if I still owe money on it?
Yes, but the remaining balance will need to be paid off before ownership transfers. Our finance department can help you navigate this process and discuss trade-in options if you're looking to upgrade to a new Ford.
