For customers looking to buy a new car for 2013, Ford Ireland has announced a range of offers on key models that includes an extended five-year warranty.  Under the banner of Ford’s “Big Four”, customers are invited to visit their local Ford dealer to avail of the offers over four weekends leading up to December 2.

The offers on Ford’s top-selling models: Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo, include:

*         Free road tax on the newly redesigned Fiesta

*         Free 16” alloys, front fogs, premium mats and upgraded console on Ireland’s top selling car, the Ford Focus

*         Single price bodystyle on Mondeo: wagon, hatchback or saloon just one price starting at €26,995

And now, as recently announced by Ford,  each model comes with an extended five years full warranty.

As part of the promotion, Ford is also introducing FordOptions**, a new finance package that helps customers purchase their car with the security of a guaranteed minimum future value.  The flexible finance programme allows the customer to agree with their Ford dealer how much to pay as an upfront deposit and / or trade in, in addition to the term and monthly repayments.  Then at the end of the term, the customer can decide to 1). renew their car with a new model; 2). return their car with nothing further to pay; or 3). retain the car once the agreed final payment has been made.

“With our offers on Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo, and the introduction of FordOptions, I think our Big Four promotion has something for everyone”, said Eddie Murphy, Chairman and Managing Director of Ford Ireland. “For anyone thinking of renewing their car or even for those who thought about it but feel they can’t stretch to it this time round, I would say, come in and speak to your local Ford dealer and see what could be possible. You may be pleasantly surprised.”

A typical deal under FordOptions for a new Fiesta Style 1.2 litre 3-door model (on the road price from €15,136 could see monthly payments of just €167 once an agreed deposit / trade in is factored in.
