Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a car with no previous auto loan?
Yes. The Ford First-Time Buyer Program was created specifically for customers who have never financed a vehicle before. If you meet the program qualifications, you may be eligible to finance an eligible new or Ford Blue Advantage® Certified Pre-Owned vehicle through Ford Credit.
Do I need a co-signer?
Not necessarily. Qualified applicants may not need a co-signer. Every application is reviewed individually, and final approval is based on Ford Credit's underwriting requirements and your overall credit profile.
How much money do I need for a down payment?
Every situation is different. While some qualified first-time buyers may be approved with little money down, a minimum down payment of $750 is required. Our finance team will help you determine the best option for your budget.
Can I purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Ford?
Yes. The Ford First-Time Buyer Program includes eligible Ford Blue Advantage® Gold and Blue Certified Pre-Owned vehicles that meet Ford Credit program requirements, giving you more vehicle options while still enjoying the benefits of the program.
What credit score do I need?
Ford Credit evaluates each application individually. While the program has expanded eligibility for more first-time buyers, approval is based on several factors, including your credit history, income, and ability to repay. Our finance specialists can help you understand your options and guide you through the application process.
How long does the approval process take?
In many cases, financing decisions can be made the same day after you submit your application and required documentation. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process and work to make your first vehicle purchase as smooth as possible.
Can I trade in my current vehicle?
Yes. If you currently own a vehicle, you can trade it in toward your purchase. The trade-in value may help reduce the amount you finance and could lower your monthly payment.
How do I get started?
Getting started is easy. Browse our inventory online, complete our secure finance application, or visit Chastang Ford to speak with one of our finance specialists. We'll help determine your eligibility and guide you through every step of the buying process
