It's time for your next vehicle from Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs, and we're here to bring back the fun! That's right - buying or leasing your next vehicle should be an exciting experience. Yet, many customers admit that filling out a credit application can be more stressful than selecting the vehicle itself. Our Ford finance center is here to show you that the finance portion of your deal can be easier than you think. We've put together some information for you that will make you feel like a finance pro. You'll know what to expect and what the process involves so that you're prepared with all the information you need.

What To Expect at Our Ford Finance Center

Unless you are paying cash, you'll be looking to fill out a credit application to secure a loan for your purchase or lease. We offer your completed application to our vast network of lenders, and they turn around with an interest rate or lease rate that ultimately affects your payment. Your rates are the function of a few key factors such as:

• Credit Score - The higher your credit score, the more favorable the rate will be. If you're curious as to where you stand, it's easy to obtain a free credit score and for the purposes of an auto loan or lease. Make sure you do a "three-bureau pull."
• Loan or Lease Term - in general, the longer the term, the lower your monthly payment will be. Leases are optimized for three years, but in some cases, you may see a higher payment after 48-months. For a loan, your monthly payment will drop the further out you extend a term. However, if you are paying back over 72-months or more, the interest rate might be slightly higher (meaning that more money will be spent over time).
• Mileage - for a lease, the more you drive, the higher the monthly payment will be. If you feel like you might be needing more than 15k miles/mo, ask about a finance quote as the payment might be similar (and you'll have no mileage restrictions).
• Cap-Cost and Cap-Cost Reduction - The Capitalized cost of the vehicle is the "all said and done" amount of the loan after any available incentives and down payment are applied. Cap-cost reduction refers to your contribution in terms of down payment, the factory's contribution in terms of rebates, or the dealer's contribution in terms of incentives. The lower your cap-cost, the lower your payment will be.

If you are unsure how any of these terms may apply to you, our Ford finance center teammates are standing by to assist.
