8 Reasons to Take Advantage of Ford End-of-Year Deals in 2020

Why is October through December of 2020 possibly the best time ever to buy a Ford in Memphis? Ford deals are always going on at your local dealership, but the end-of-year deals for 2020 are a unique storm created by different, interesting factors. Here are eight factors as to why Ford offers the best deals in the fall.

 

 

1. The end-of-the-model-year closeout sales are happening later than usual this year.

Typically, the Ford end-of-year sale happens in late summer and early fall as new models get swapped with old ones. This typically culminates in the Ford summer sales event. This swapping has been frequently cited as the best time of year to buy a new car, as dealerships like ours are trying to sell off last year’s stock before the new stock comes in.

This year, however, the end of the model year has come late for most companies in 2020. That means that most people are unaware that the best sales of the whole year are actually right around the corner.

2. The time between end-of-the-model-year or end-of-the-year is shorter, making this season more urgent than ever.

Ford has been frantically producing their four top models despite the pandemic. Luckily, they’re still managing to bring out new F-150s and Broncos for 2021. But these delays mean that for their two main seasons for end-of-model-year and end-of-year car deals, Ford has very little time to work with. As a result, these Ford deals are possibly bigger than they’ve ever been.

3. Ford is discontinuing some popular models of cars like the Focus in 2020.

This year, Ford will be ending the lineup of their eco-friendly cars, such as the Fiesta, Focus and Fusion, as well as the Taurus and C-MAX. Almost all of their car lineup will be going away under CEO Jim Hackett, as the company will be focusing on super-duty trucks and SUVs. That means Focus and Fusion fans will have their last chance to snag what was once one of the world’s most popular cars. Basically, if you want to buy a new Ford car, you’re going to want to purchase one between October and December of 2020. It’s simply the best time to do so.

4. Black Friday deals aren’t limited to shopping malls.

Not only is season generally this the best time for end-of-year Ford truck deals and car sales, it’s also a time of the year that’s rife with holiday specials. Black Friday weekend often features fantastic sales events. Look up “Ford specials near me,” and you’ll find many local weekend deals.

5. Experts say that October through December is the best time of year to buy a used car.

According to Edmunds as well as Autotrader, December creates a “perfect storm” of savings. This is because quarterly sales numbers, yearly sales numbers and monthly sales numbers all need to mee the teams’ goals. The last quarter of the year features the best selection of cars, most people trading in their slightly used cars, and plenty of options for financing.

6. That doesn’t even include specials and rebates.

Many people are not aware that some of the best Ford specials are actually rebates. Rebates and incentives come directly from the manufacturer to the consumer. If shaving $1,000 off the price of a new car with a rebate sounds good to you, then this is the time of year to inquire about them.

7. Cars make the ultimate family gifts.

Families hoping for a new vehicle this Christmas or holiday season can take advantage of these many different Ford offers. Near you, dealers can find the best vehicle and arrange your gift.

8. It’s also a convenient time to trade-in.

People come during the holiday season to buy new cars, but many people buy used and slightly-used cars for loved ones as gifts as well, so this time of year is a great time to trade in.
