Turn Your Tax Refund into a New Ford
Tax season is the perfect opportunity to put your refund to work, and there’s no better way than toward a new Ford. With the average federal tax refund around $3,200 (IRS, 2024), many buyers use this lump sum as a down payment, helping them reduce monthly payments, qualify for better interest rates, or cover upfront lease fees. Whether you’ve been eyeing the Ford lineup or considering leasing, Tradition Ford of Newark can help you maximize your refund while securing the vehicle and features you want.
Why Tax Time is the Smart Time to Buy
Many Americans receive a tax refund each year, and that lump sum can make a real difference when purchasing or leasing a new Ford. Using your refund as a down payment can reduce your loan amount, lower your monthly payments, and even help you qualify for a better interest rate. For leasees, it can cover upfront fees or your first month’s payment, making it easier to start a new lease.
Even if you aren’t receiving a refund, tax season is still a great time to shop. Dealerships often offer seasonal specials that can be combined with your payment, giving you more value for your purchase. And for buyers looking to strengthen their credit profile, a larger down payment can improve approval odds or help secure a better rate.
Hand-Selected Inventory
At Tradition Ford of Newark, we carefully curate our inventory to ensure every model meets high standards of quality and value. If the vehicle or configuration you want isn’t on-site, our team can locate it or place a custom order, making sure you get exactly the model, trim, and features you’re looking for.
Ordering or Leasing Your Ford
The 2026 Ford lineup is packed with innovation, style, and performance. Whether ordering a new model or leasing to enjoy the latest technology, your tax refund can help you get behind the wheel with confidence. It can also be applied toward upgrades such as extended warranties or prepaid maintenance plans, helping protect your investment and giving you long-term peace of mind.
Leasing is particularly appealing for drivers who enjoy the latest technology or want to upgrade frequently. About 30% of new car buyers lease their vehicles (Experian Automotive, 2024), and tax season can make that initial investment much easier to manage.
Maximize Your Long-Term Savings
Using your tax refund wisely goes beyond monthly payments. Even a modest down payment can reduce your total interest over the life of your loan. Additionally, buying during tax season helps you avoid rising vehicle prices; new car prices have increased about 10–15% over the last two years (Kelley Blue Book, 2024). Pairing your purchase with protection plans like a vehicle service contract or prepaid maintenance plan ensures your new Ford remains reliable and valuable, while shielding you from future repair or maintenance cost increases.
