Ford Options

FordOptions is a different way of financing your car because it gives you the option to drive a new Ford every two or three years

The benefits of FordOptions:

  • The opportunity to drive a new Ford car more often
  • Regular payments to suit your personal needs
  • Flexible terms of 24, 30 or 36 months
  • The assurance of a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) should you wish to pursue Option two as detailed below
  • The option to own the car at the end of the agreement

How does it work?

  1. You decide on the car you want to buy and tell us your anticipated annual mileage
  2. You choose the deposit you want to pay and the repayment period that suits you
  3. We then estimate the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) that the car will be worth at the end of your agreed finance term
  4. This, and your agreed deposit, is deducted from your car price
  5. Your repayments are then based on the balance, plus the interest on both this and the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV)
  6. Lawtons of Tadcaster will then submit your application through to Ford Credit
  7. Once the finance documentation is complete, you can drive away in your new car

At the end of the agreement, you have three great options:

Option one - choose another car
You can choose another car by using any excess valueover the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) as a deposit on your next Ford car. You can trade in your old car, or sell it privately if you prefer, having settled your account, and use any excess monies towards your next Ford car.

Option two - return the car

You'll have nothing further to pay, providing the car is in good condition, and the agreed mileage hasn't been exceeded. Please note that the car's condition is assessed in accordance with our RAC-approved normal wear and tear guidelines.

Option three - keep the car

If you decide to keep the car, assuming all payments have been made, you just need to pay the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV), plus the Option to Purchase Fee and it's yours to drive away. We may also arrange finance for the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV).
