If you have shopped for a Ford online anytime recently, you have probably noticed that it is a great way to bypass the concerns associated with a brick and mortar dealership. You are given the chance to avoid the pressures of the sale floor and you are also able to shop at your own leisurely pace.

When you have decided to use the internet to shop for your next Ford, there are a number of concerns that can still arise. That’s why this guide is here to provide you with the necessary background. By taking the time to check out these tips and pointers, you are doing everything in your power to simplify the shopping process.

1. Take a Look At Subscription Programs

Would you like to shop for a new or used Ford online but you are not particularly concerned about long term ownership? If so, subscription programs are the way to go. There are a number of third party services available and various high end automakers are getting in on the party. These services allow you to obtain a new car for a monthly fee. If you are not looking to make an outright purchase, these services can serve as a godsend.

2. Decide on Your Delivery Method

Whether you are purchasing the vehicle from a Ford dealership or you are looking to use a third party service, you need to decide on your delivery method ahead of time. Is the car going to be delivered to your home or your workplace? Does the dealership that you are considering even offer delivery options? These are questions that have to be answered before any sort of final decision can be made.

3. Check The Return Policies

Some online car shopping services will offer their users a return policy and others will charge a small fortune if you are looking to make a return. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that any online car shopping service you choose is going to offer returns. Find out more about the return policies of any service that you choose. The best services are always going to be proactive and work with their customers, making sure that they are satisfied.

4. Independent Inspections Are Key

Of course, the online retailers are going to claim that the vehicle is up to par. That’s to be expected. This is where independent inspections come into play. Do you have the mechanical knowledge to inspect the car on your own? In most instances, you are not going to have the necessary prowess. By arranging for an independent mechanic to look over the vehicle, you are providing yourself with the necessary peace of mind.

5. Obtain a Vehicle History Report

CARFAX is the company that most people turn to when they are looking for a vehicle history report. You’ll receive a detailed report that outlines past owners and accidents that the vehicle has been involved in. CARFAX cannot be used as a Bible, though. It’s not an all clear. However, you will still need to ask for one of these reports. When an online car dealership is not ready and willing to provide one, this is going to tell you everything that you need to know about their level of trustworthiness.

6. Test Drives Remain Crucial

While it is nice to avoid the hassles that are associated with a dealership, you are still going to want to take a test drive before taking the vehicle home. Be sure to bear this in mind before making any sort of agreements. Unless you are willing to remain flexible, it is going to be hard to find an opportunity to take a test drive when you are shopping from long distance. Talk to the internet salesperson and make sure that you are going to be able to take the Ford for a spin first.

7. Examine The Role of a Dealership

Yes, we understand that you are shopping online because you want to avoid the issues and annoyances of dealership visits. However, you can still involve a dealership in your online shopping if need be. Shoppers who have been able to narrow down their choices to one or two vehicles may benefit from visiting a traditional dealership. This is your chance to ask for quotes. Speak to a local dealership and the online retailer about their pricing. Allow the results of these conversations to guide you.

8. Do Your Research!

We saved the most crucial tip for last. The process is not any different from buying or leasing a car from a traditional dealership. What kind of Ford vehicle are you looking for? What is your price range? By taking the time to do some informed research, you can keep your expectations in touch with reality. From there, it becomes even easier to find the vehicles that align with your price range and your personal needs.

Ford has been on the scene for decades. A number of models are well-known, ranging from the Mustang to the Ranger. It’s one of the top brands that people think of when talking about cars and trucks because of the history. When you’re in the market for a vehicle, Ford should be at the top of your list for a number of reasons.

Variety of Models

Whether you are looking for a sports car, a spacious SUV, or a rugged truck, Ford has you covered with its wide array of models. You simply have to decide how much seating you want, what features are important to you, and what kind of engine power you want.

With over a dozen models in total to choose from, you’re bound to find a Ford that you’ll fall head over heels for. Some of the top models include:

• Mustang

• Fusion

• Escape

• Explorer

• Ranger

• F-150

There are also more and more hybrid models, offering electric components to improve fuel efficiency. This ensures that you can take an eco-friendly approach to your next vehicle if you so desire.

The Tech is Impressive

Ford has been a frontrunner on the tech that they have incorporated into their models. The Sync3 has allowed for voice controls – and this kind of technology has been in place for years. It allows drivers to use voice control to play their favorite songs, get directions, and even take a hands-free approach when making calls.

Various driver-assist technologies are in place, too. Drivers can feel safer behind the wheel because of using Co-Pilot360 Technology. The suite of technologies includes a rear-view camera, a blind spot information system, a lane-keeping system, and even pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. It ensures that there are fewer risks on the road because of the vehicle’s ability to sense danger and either alert the driver or apply the brakes automatically.

Additionally, more tech is being created every year. Those who have driven the F-150 or Super Duty will also know about some of the impressive towing features that use the latest tech. It makes it easier to drive with a trailer and even to get the hitch into place.

It’s an American Brand

Ford has and always will be an American brand. It’s something that the company is extremely proud of, too. When you focus on keeping jobs in America, this is something you will want to consider.

An American brand helps the American economy. Further, because most of the parts are created in the United States, it also makes it easier to get spare parts should you need to make a repair or make an upgrade to your vehicle.

Additionally, Ford has been family-owned since the very beginning. When you buy Ford, it is as if you become a part of the family. Many people who have chosen to buy a Ford choose to continue to buy a Ford because of the name and the value that is behind it.

Factory-Trained Technicians Provide Service

Ford stands behind the service that they offer at their dealerships. The technicians are factory-trained, so they know all about how the Ford models are put together. It makes it easier to diagnose a problem and complete a repair or preventative maintenance task.

At House Ford, our service center is capable of providing you with anything that your Ford needs – and with our service guarantees in place, you can be sure that you have quality repairs being performed each and every time.

You can also be sure that we’re using genuine OEM parts just as they would use in the factory. It helps to keep your warranty in place and provide you with the best possible performance throughout the year.

Explore a Ford Model Today

One of the best ways to explore a Ford is to see one in person. At House Ford, we’re here to prove to you why the Ford brand is one of the top vehicle brands in the world. We can show you our inventory, answer your questions, and take you for a test drive so that you can see the Ford difference for yourself.

Ford models have evolved considerably over the years. As you decide it’s time for a new vehicle, it can be overwhelming to explore the many models. Do you want a sedan? An SUV? A pickup truck? Choosing the right Ford is a lot easier once you know more about the selection – and at House Ford of Red Wing, our knowledgeable sales staff can guide you through our inventory.

The Different Body Types

Before you can start exploring models, you have to consider the overall body type you’re searching for. This will depend heavily on the performance you demand, the number of passengers you need to accommodate, and how much cargo space you need.

• Cars

• SUVs and crossovers

• Trucks and vans

Once you decide on the body type, you can quickly move into the many vibrant models that are available – and we have a large selection to ensure you get the kind of vehicle you want to drive.

Search the Cars

Ford has chosen to focus on only a few car models beginning with 2020. This ensures they offer the best performance possible – and the ones are the sportiest you can ask for.

Mustang: This classic muscle car speaks for itself.

Fusion: This sporty sedan is a four-door and can be an economical option when you want a performance-driven car.

Of course, you can also explore our pre-owned inventory for some of the previous year’s models. This allows you to save money while getting the features that are most important to you.

Explore the SUVs and Crossovers

Ford offers a wide array of SUVs and crossovers to ensure you have the space and seating that you need. Whether you want a two row or three row SUV, you’re going to find it. Some are sleek and sporty while others are luxurious.

The models to explore include:

• Escape

• Edge

• Ecosport

• Flex

• Explorer

• Expedition

• Mustang Mach-E

With each one, you can expect the performance you have come to expect with the Ford brand. Additionally, many offer versatile seating options, allowing you to make some changes based on accommodating more passengers or more cargo. Further, there are electric versions of many, allowing you to get the fuel efficiency that you demand.

Consider the Trucks and Vans

There’s a reason that Ford has the reputation for being “Ford Tough.” Their trucks are built for durability. The Ranger is a popular compact pickup truck while the F-150 is the workhorse. When you want something even tougher with serious towing capacity, you can look in the direction of the Super Duty. Whether you want the length in the cab or the bed, you can find the model and trim level that will work best for you.

If you need even more space, either for a lot of kids or a lot of cargo, you can also explore the Ford line of vans. The Transit and Transit Connect provide you with flexible seating, dual sliding doors, and more. No matter how active your lifestyle is, one of these passenger wagons can accommodate you.

Fine-Tune Your Selection

You may have your eye on one or two models. Now, what? It might be time for you to come into the dealership. This allows you to get a visual inspection of the models and taken them for a test drive. It can be easier to see what a model has to offer when you’re in front of it.

Additionally, many of the Ford models have several trim levels to choose from. This can affect not only the price but the number of features. Higher trim levels can offer more technology, premium seating material, and more. Plus, you will want to choose the color of your Ford – and there are plenty of neutral and flashy colors to suit your style.

New and pre-owned vehicles alike are found at House Ford of Red Wing. It allows us to accommodate your vehicle needs while taking into consideration your budget. When you’re ready to decide which Ford is right for you, make an appointment. One of our sales team members will be waiting for you to walk you through the inventory and answer your questions.

Nothing can be more exhilarating than taking your new or used car off the showroom floor. From the smell of the modern interior to the shine of the outside, it sparkles from the front to back. Once you have the car, it can be a little surprising how quickly it gets dirty. Getting your vehicle back to that fresh appearance you love inside and out isn’t hard, but it does take a little work. With the right selection of cleaning materials and a pleasant day outside, you’ll be ready to tackle the job. So roll up your sleeves, and take some of the best car cleaning tips from your local team from House Ford.

Get The Right Products Ready

Get ready to do the job right by getting some of the following materials:

• Exterior- car wash solution, tire and wheel cleaner, microfiber towels(for drying), wax applications, buckets, and a long enough hose to reach

• Interior- vacuum cleaner with attachments, cleaners for plastic and vinyl areas, cloth or leather cleaner, microfiber towels

How To Clean Your Interior

 If you think about your car, the inside is where to spend a lot of time. It becomes like a second home when you’re commuting daily to work and back. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep it looking its best.

Begin by removing the mats first, and you’ll be surprised how much debris and dirt is under them. Vacuum thoroughly under where the mats where place and also under the seats. Use smaller attachments to reach between the seats or other hard to reach areas. If you have cloth seats, let your cleaning solution sit for a few minutes if you have stains. You can use a damp sponge to spread around the places, so they don’t become soaked. Let dry and then vacuum and wipe any excess off with a towel. Treat the dashboard and steering wheel with a good polisher and microfiber towel.

Best Ways To Organize Your Stuff: Have you found the inside of your car to be home to just about everything? Many cars have hair ties, pens, charging cords, sunscreen bottles, chapstick, and more lying around on the floor or in between seats. Use a plastic drawer with multiple compartments to hold all the smaller items that seem to be scattered everywhere. A small empty mason jar or an empty gum container is an excellent solution for all that spare change.

Cleaning The Exterior Like The Professionals

Having a vehicle that’s ready to show off to the world can be accomplished by following a few simple steps. If possible, try to get a shaded region to wash your car in to avoid sunspots. Rinse your vehicle thoroughly with a hose before you begin to clean. The cleaning process works much better if you start at the top and work your way down. As for the tires, wash one at a time for best results. Also, it’s a good idea to have one bucket for your water and one for the cleaning solution. To dry and waxy your vehicle, you can use a microfiber towel. Make sure the wax is distributed across the cloth evenly, and flip it to the dry side as needed for an impressive shine!

Thoughtful Tricks For Common Problems

Every car owner has encountered some of these issues, but luckily there are some creative solutions.

• Bird Droppings- these are highly acidic and can create damage to your paint. Try spraying WD-40 on the area for about a minute, rinse, and then wipe it clean with a cloth. You can also use a solution of vinegar and baking soda. Spray the area and let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with a hose.

• Dead Bugs On Headlights- Place a few dryer sheets into a bottle with warm water and let sit for a few minutes. Then spray where the bugs have landed and wipe clean.

• Dirty Headlights- get a soft-bristled brush, some baking soda, and some whitening toothpaste. Spread a layer of toothpaste over your headlights and clean with a circular motion of the brush.

Why You Should Keep Your Car Clean

 Keeping your vehicle clean goes further than aesthetics appearance. One of the biggest reasons is it preserves your paint. Dirt and grime will erode the exterior, but washing it often helps prevent this. You may have never thought of it before, but clean cars are safer on the road. Other motorists can see you much easier if your vehicle is taken care of. Cleanliness also keeps you healthy! Lots of dangerous bacteria are lurking on the inside of your vehicle. Wipe down high contact surfaces often like the steering wheel and dashboard. Finally, you can feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing you are proud of your work.

When it’s time to buy a car, you have two options: buy new or buy used. Buying used offers a wide array of benefits, even beyond the obvious one of saving money. At House Ford, we have a large inventory of used cars, allowing you to find a great deal and take advantage of the benefits for yourself.

In case you have been considering buying used, allow us to explain why it can be such a wise investment.

You Save Money

The cost of a used car can be dramatically lower than that of a new car. In some instances, you can save 50% off the sticker price of a brand-new model year car for one that has a few more years and miles under the hood.

When you buy used, you don’t have to pay cash, either. You still have the opportunity to finance the car. It ensures you can have low monthly payments that fit within your budget.

There’s Little to No Depreciation

One of the biggest problems with buying new is that you experience depreciation the moment you drive it off the lot. It goes from being a new car to a used car within minutes. The depreciation isn’t that big of a deal if you plan on holding onto the car for a few years. However, if you only keep it for a couple of years, it can have a negative effect.

When you buy used, there’s little to no depreciation. It means that the value is maintained for longer. What you paid for it is going to be what you could likely sell it for just a few months or years later.

Insurance Premiums are Lower

Regardless of what model you buy, you need insurance. Insurance premiums are lower on used cars because the replacement cost is lower. Particularly if you buy a used car that still has some advanced safety features, you can end up saving quite a bit of money on your auto premiums.

You can always get insurance quotes before you buy, too. It’s a chance to compare a few models on the lot to decide which one is cheaper to insure.

You Get Variety

There’s more variety available to you when you buy used. Every model year, new colors come out. New features come out. Even new designs come out periodically. If you buy new, you’re limited to that model year’s offerings.

Buying used can give you access to years’ worth of model years. You can choose from a few different models, colors, trims, and more. By working with our sales team, you can tell us what features you want. We’ll help you navigate the inventory.

Plus, you can get more of the features you want without paying for them. You want a sunroof and leather upholstery? No problem. You can get the higher trim level on a used car without it costing thousands of dollars more like you would pay if you were buying new.

Condition is Better Than You Might Think

Many people are nervous about buying a used car because they think it will break down in a month. If you’re buying from a fly-by-night dealership on the side of the road, that might happen. However, when you buy from a reputable dealer like House Ford, you are protected.

First of all, our vehicles have been inspected by certified technicians. Some of our vehicles are also within the Certified Pre-Owned Program, which means that they are manufacturer and dealership certified.

Additionally, you can ask for a car history report. This will tell you how many owners there have been, how many accidents the car has been in, and more. It can offer you greater peace of mind before moving forward with a purchase.

The condition can also be further protected with a warranty. Some cars may still be under the original manufacturer’s warranty. Otherwise, you can choose to add an extended warranty for further protection.

Inventory makes shopping for a used car that much easier. Do some model research on our site. Then, schedule a time to come visit us at House Ford. With the help of one of our friendly associates, we’ll ensure you find a car that fits your needs and budget.

Gas isn’t as expensive as it used to be, but it still pays to squeeze the best mileage out of your vehicle. The following tips are designed to give your vehicle quite a boost when it comes to fuel efficiency. In fact, these tips can help you improve your gas mileage by 10% or more, depending on your vehicle and overall driving conditions.

Practice Gentle Starts and Stops

You might not put the pedal to the metal every time you take off from a stoplight, but you might tend to push that accelerator pedal just a bit harder than necessary. An aggressive launch might put you in the lead in the Stoplight-to-Stoplight Drag Race, but you’ll waste fuel while doing it. A gentle take-off not only boosts your gas mileage, but also save plenty of wear and tear on your vehicle.

The same applies when coming to a stop. Smooth deceleration is just as important as smooth acceleration, so try to take it easy on your brake pedal. You can do this by judging your stopping distances better and anticipating when the traffic light turns yellow. You’ll save more fuel plus you won’t wear out your brake pads as often.

Watch Your Speed

We all want to unleash our inner speed demon on the highway but pushing your car to the speed limit and beyond can quickly turn into a game of diminishing returns. Most gasoline-powered cars achieve their optimal gas mileage at 55 mph, according to recent data. Any faster and your fuel economy quickly plummets.

Adhering to local speed limits can help you save fuel, in most cases. When it comes to interstate driving, however, setting your cruise control somewhere in the 55-to-65 mph range will help you burn less fuel on those long drives.

Avoid Unnecessary Weight

Unless it’s moving day and you’re trying to stuff as much in your car as possible, then chances are you don’t need to keep all that stuff in your vehicle. Nevertheless, we often carry more stuff in our vehicle than we need to bring. The added weight places extra strain on your engine, which in turn causes your vehicle to burn more fuel.

Shed some dead weight if you want your vehicle to perform better fuel-wise but be careful not to toss out anything that you might need an emergency, such as your spare tire or vehicle jack.

Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated

Did you know that your gas mileage can take a 0.2% hit for every 1-psi drop in tire pressure? Under inflated tires create extra rolling resistance your vehicle must overcome, which it does so by burning more fuel. Check your tires often and make sure they’re inflated at the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. You’ll find that info on the placard nestled in the driver’s side door jamb or in your owner’s manual.

But don’t try to over inflate your tires in search of better gas mileage. Not only are the fuel economy gains extremely negligible, but you’ll also end up with a harsher ride, additional tire wear and a greater risk of a blowout.

Stick to Your Vehicle’s Recommended Fluids and Fuel

Whether your vehicle calls for regular or premium unleaded, it’s a good idea to stick with what the manufacturer calls for. Using regular unleaded in lieu of premium, for example, might help you save a few cents per gallon at the pump, but you gas mileage will most likely suffer for it.

Modern engines that require premium unleaded can change their timing to compensate, usually at the expense of fuel economy. Older engines may suffer from pinging and detonation that kills fuel efficiency while also doing some potentially serious damage to your engine.

The same goes for your engine oil. Always use the specific type of oil recommended for your vehicle. Using engine oil of a heavier weight than recommended (such as using 10w30 in place of 5w30) simply exposes your engine’s moving parts to additional friction, making engine work harder and burn more fuel in a process.

Don’t Idle So Much

You might not realize it but idling for long periods of time can just as easily destroy your gas mileage as any of the other bad habits mentioned so far. Your engine uses anywhere from a 1/2-gallon to roughly a gallon of fuel for every hour it operates at idle. That’s a lot of fuel you could put to better use on the open road.

Fortunately, most modern vehicles now come with start/stop technology that automatically shuts off the engine when stopped for brief periods. If you have an older vehicle, consider shutting it off if you’ll be sitting still for a while.

Invest in Regular Maintenance

Good maintenance is always the key to good gas mileage. Ignoring the need for regularly scheduled service and tune-ups will always drag down your vehicle’s fuel economy, not to mention the impact lax maintenance has elsewhere. A dirty air filter, filthy engine oil and/or worn spark plugs can all contribute to your car’s declining fuel economy in one way or another.

You should always have your vehicle serviced according to the schedule recommended in your vehicle owner’s manual. Your owner’s manual will also tell you exactly what parts need replacement on a regular basis and how often it should take place. Common parts like oxygen sensors and spark plugs are also crucial for emissions performance, so keep that in mind during your next service.
