Why Buy From DePaula Ford

View InventoryFinancingVehicle Specials

DePaula Ford is a different type of dealership, a rare breed that sets new standards of excellence by challenging the traditional car-buying process. Our interest isn’t in selling you the latest in the Ford lineup or a top-tier trim that forces you to go over your budget. Instead, we focus on you and how we can build a meaningful, long-term relationship. We don’t just want to help you find the perfect Ford; we also want to ensure it serves you well every mile down the road.

While this sounds too good to be true, we promise it isn’t. Genuinely understanding everything we offer starts by looking deeper into who we are and the culture we’ve created. From there, we’ll outline why so many customers continue to partner with DePaula Ford for all their automotive needs. We hope our next partnership is with you.

We Love What We Do: The DePaula Culture

Have you ever met someone who genuinely loves their job? Perhaps you’re one of those people who enthusiastically greet each morning because you’ve turned your passion into a career. This mindset makes a huge difference in your life and everyone around you, and it’s something we’ve adopted at DePaula Ford.

We love what we do at DePaula Ford, and it shows. We’ve created a distinct culture that embraces that passion and reflects our values, our servitude to our customers, and our willingness to go the extra mile to meet and exceed every expectation. Our team and customers are at the heart of this culture and are our greatest assets.

Part of the reason why every member of our team loves what they do is that they know DePaula Ford supports their professional and personal goals. We continuously reinvest in our team to ensure they have opportunities for growth, whether they’re interested in expanding their finance expertise or broadening their abilities in our state-of-the-art service center. By reinvesting in our team, we foster growth, passion, and fulfillment that customers experience firsthand. How so?

Imagine buying a Ford F-150 from someone who loves everything America’s best-selling truck offers versus buying an F-150 from someone who doesn’t care about the truck, its powertrain options, or its legendary history in the lineup. At DePaula Ford, passion is guaranteed, making it easy for you to get excited about your purchase. Moreover, it makes building lasting relationships even easier because, like our team, you become part of the DePaula family.

Our New Inventory: A Ford-Lover’s Paradise

Our passion for the Ford lineup means we’re intimately aware of what it means to get behind the wheel of a new car, truck, or SUV with the beloved Blue Oval. As an automotive pioneer, Ford is at the helm of innovation and celebrates as much by equipping its models with the latest technologies, features, and conveniences. It makes shopping for a new Ford vehicle, like the midsize Ranger and iconic Mustang, incredibly appealing.

When you shop with DePaula Ford, you have access to every new model in the Ford lineup. Our vast selection of new cars, trucks, and SUVs is hand-selected to match the needs of our customer base. For example, we know our customers appreciate the capability of a best-selling workhorse like the F-150, especially because it doesn’t compromise on luxury or affordability. The same applies to family-friendly SUVs like the Explorer and Expedition, legendary speed demons like the Mustang, and adventurous models like the Bronco and Bronco Sport. You’ll find all this and more on our lot.

Along with this vast selection, every new Ford comes with the DePaula New Vehicle Advantage and Ford’s new vehicle warranty coverage. These perks make it easy to get excited about your purchase and engineer confidence long after signing the dotted line. So, what’s included?

Ford’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Every new Ford is backed by the automaker’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which includes several types of coverage. For example, your new Ford sedan, SUV, or truck has bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties that cover nearly every vital component. There’s also safety restraint system coverage, corrosion protection, and powertrain-specific coverage for diesel, hybrid, or electric-powered vehicles. Beyond this, you’ll have access to Ford’s 24-hour roadside assistance service that provides lock-out assistance, winch-out services, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, towing, and battery jump starts.

The DePaula New Vehicle Advantage

• Online or In-person Sales & Service Process
• Optional Home Delivery
• Available Same Day Delivery
• Free enrollment into Ford Rewards: your personal flex account for purchases, service, parts/accessories, and details.
• First Oil Change On Us: Scheduled and set on the day of your vehicle’s delivery to ensure you qualify for our Engine 4-Life program[a]

Along with Ford’s exceptional new vehicle warranty coverage, you’ll also enjoy the perks of the DePaula New Vehicle Advantage. It’s our way of helping you celebrate your purchase and fulfilling our promise to partner with you long after the sale. For example, once you say “yes” to the Ford of your dreams, we can save you valuable time at the dealership with our home and same-day delivery services. Then, as you navigate the road in your new Ford, you can rest easy knowing we’re here to make routine maintenance and repair more manageable than ever. For example, your purchase includes one free oil change to ensure qualified models are eligible for our Engine 4-Life Program, free annual New York State inspections, and complimentary window chip repair.

Our Used Inventory: Where Settling for Less Is Never Required

While we understand the appeal of that new car smell, especially in a Ford, we also know that a new vehicle isn’t the right fit for everyone. Many customers want to put their money to work by investing in a used model, fully expecting to settle for less than what they genuinely want in their next car, truck, or SUV. At DePaula Ford, settling is out of the question.

We work tirelessly to ensure our inventory has something for everyone, including a healthy selection of used cars, trucks, and SUVs that fit every budget and driving need. As a result, you’ll find the best from Ford in our inventory and models from every other major automaker, like Honda, Toyota, GMC, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, etc. This selection of used vehicles for sale is impressive because of the sheer quantity of models in one convenient location, but it’s also incredible because of its exceptional quality.

The DePaula Pre-Owned Promise

• Online or In-person Sales & Service Process
• Optional Home Delivery
• 139 Point Vehicle Inspection: Completed by our Certified Technicians in our Reconditioning Center to ensure the vehicle meets our standards.

Every used vehicle on our lot must meet our high standards of quality because our customers only deserve the best, and it’s our job to deliver. Our DePaula Pre-Owned Promise starts with a 139-point comprehensive inspection completed by our Master Service Technicians in our state-of-the-art service and reconditioning center. While this process gives us peace of mind that we’re offering only the best models, we extend that feeling to you by providing the internal vehicle history record and CARFAX Vehicle History Report with every model. This ensures you have all the information to make an informed purchase.

The DePaula Pre-Owned Process also includes several other perks that make it easy to get excited about your purchase. For example, every used vehicle comes with our Comprehensive Limited Warranty and one free oil change that ensures its warranty eligibility. Likewise, your used car also includes free New York State inspections each year and complimentary windshield chip repair from the convenience of our body shop.

The Ford Blue Advantage

Our DePaula Pre-Owned Promise is only one of many perks to shopping for a used model on our lot. Our Certified Pre-Owned Fords offer even more benefits, starting with the Ford Blue Advantage. The Ford Blue Advantage reflects Ford’s confidence in its models, even when they’ve been on the road for a few years and logged several thousand miles. These Certified Pre-Owned models fall into three categories: Gold, EV, and Blue Certified.

Gold Certified models are up to six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. They’ve also passed a 172-point inspection and come with an extensive Comprehensive Limited Warranty, Powertrain Limited Warranty, Roadside Assistance, and a 14-day or 1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee. Our Blue Certified models are older and ideal for budget-savvy shoppers because models up to ten years old and less than 150,000 miles are eligible for the Blue Certified badge. In addition, they must pass a 139-point inspection and, like Gold Certified models, offer the same 14-day Money Back Guarantee and access to Ford’s 24-hour Roadside Assistance Service.

The move to building an all-electric future prompted Ford to create a third category in the Blue Advantage program: EV Certified. These models are fully electric, have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer, and are less than six years old. Like Gold and Blue Certified cars, trucks, and SUV, every EV Certified model must pass a 127-point comprehensive inspection. They also have a Money Back Guarantee, Roadside Assistance, and EV-specific warranty coverage.

An Enjoyable Experience, Guaranteed

Think about the traditional dealership experience. It’s been the same for years. Salespeople rush to your side the moment you drive onto the lot, doing their best to make small talk before launching into a long list of promises to put you behind the wheel of the car of your dreams. Unfortunately, those promises quickly lead to pushy sales tactics that ignore your needs and put you on the defensive, asserting yourself against someone who should be working with you. It’s an age-old process that DePaula Ford is proud to change.

DePaula Ford takes a different approach because we refuse to forget what it’s like to be in your shoes. We know the stress of buying a vehicle, so we do our best to mitigate it by approaching the process uniquely. Our passion for the Ford lineup is contagious, but we’re not here to sell you on the Blue Oval, a truck like the F-150, or even a legend like the Mustang. Instead, we’re here to get to know you and build a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

By focusing on our greatest assets––you––we never forget the importance of what we do or our core values. We operate with transparency, integrity, respect, and accountability. The entire DePaula Ford team is here to serve you and provide the same unparalleled experience anytime you’re here, whether you’re working with our sales and finance teams or our Master Service Technicians. The values that define who we are and how we operate instill confidence in our entire team and leave no question that you’re always in great hands.

We Value Your Time and Money

The most unappealing aspects of buying and owning a vehicle are the time and financial commitments. In most cases, buying a car is a lengthy process that requires hours of haggling and negotiation to agree on a price. Then, more time is wasted as you finalize the paperwork and glean a better understanding of what the dealership presumes to be a “great” deal. It’s a grueling process, but it doesn’t have to be.

DePaula Ford values your time and money. For example, we know that shopping for a vehicle often means driving to various dealerships and looking at their inventory to narrow your options and find the perfect model at the right price. But what if a dealership could bring those vehicles to you?

We offer a more efficient alternative by giving you access to our entire inventory wherever you are via our virtual showroom. You can browse every new, used, and Certified Pre-Owned model on our lot, apply for auto financing, and value your trade to jumpstart the process before you arrive. Then, once you’re here, we’ll finalize the details, toss you the keys, or schedule same-day or home delivery for your new ride. You can even schedule your first oil change online with our scheduling tool!

Besides saving you valuable time before your purchase, we’ll help you stick to your budget and keep more money in your wallet with our straightforward financing and programs like DePaula Buys Cars. With no gimmicks or tricks, our finance experts operate with transparency, walking you through the process so that you are well informed of the details, and there’s no question you’re getting the best deal. In addition, our DePaula Buys Cars program makes it easy to walk away with quick money, even if you don’t buy your next vehicle from us. We’ll make you an offer and, if you accept, write you a check with no strings attached. It’s yet another way we’re here to help our customers get everything they need.

A Long-Term Partnership

One of the best reasons to buy from DePaula Ford is knowing you’re working with a team that makes a lifetime commitment to you. We recognize that purchasing a vehicle should be exciting, but why does that excitement have to end once we toss you the keys? With DePaula Ford, it doesn’t because we make owning a vehicle a rewarding experience.

Buying from DePaula Ford guarantees you have a team of experts on your side every mile ahead. As a comprehensive automotive center, we can handle everything you need from our state-of-the-art facility. Our Master Service Technicians that run our vehicle service center are some of the most talented in the industry and are renowned for their efforts to constantly expand and hone their skills. Like the rest of the DePaula Ford team, they aren’t satisfied with the status quo. They strive for excellence in everything they do, and our customers reap the benefits.

Our Master Certified Technicians also know the value of maintaining your vehicle’s integrity, relying on genuine Ford parts to handle every possible repair. Moreover, we keep these parts on hand in our parts department, ensuring our technicians can operate efficiently and get your vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible. It also means these OEM parts are readily available to our customers who prefer to do the work themselves.

If you’re ready to shop with the best, then it’s time to put your trust in DePaula Ford. Our reputation for excellence precedes us, but we encourage you to experience the DePaula Ford difference for yourself. There’s nothing like trusting a dealership dedicated to serving you and exceeding your expectations. After all, we know that owning a Ford is a reason to celebrate, and we’re here to kick off the festivities with the best car-buying and owning experience imaginable.
