Buying a car, even a used one, is a big expense for consumers. Getting into a 2007 Ford F-150 may be easier than you think, but you need to be aware of all your options to make the best decision. Here are some steps to help you get into a Ford. Follow these and you will know exactly what to do to get into a Ford F-150.

Instructions

1

Determine to pay cash or finance the Ford F-150. One of the first steps in purchasing a new vehicle is to determine if it makes sense to pay cash or to finance the vehicle. There are benefits and disadvantages to both. How you view debt and your current finances are both factors that need to be taken into consideration when purchasing an F-150.

2

Contact a financing company. The auto dealer will want you to obtain financing through the dealership instead. While this may be an option, you should have a backup source so you can compare terms and interest rates to ensure you are obtaining the best deal. Apply for both Ford financing and a secondary source.

3

Review your personal credit. When financing a Ford, all financing companies will determine the interest rate and terms of your auto financing partially based on the current personal credit report of the applicant. Knowing your credit score and history prior to applying will help your application.

4

Get preapproved for financing. After identifying an auto financing company, apply for the loan specifically for the Ford F-150. Most financing companies will need to verify your income, address and insurance and need a copy of your current driver's license.

5

Consider a co-signer. If your personal credit or financial situation is not as strong as you would like, a co-signer may be able to help you obtain much better financing terms. This will help in both Ford financing or financing through another source.
