Think about the last time you purchased a vehicle. Did you get the exact model you wanted? Did it come with every feature on your must-have list, or did you make a few sacrifices for the sake of convenience? Here at DePaula Ford, we don’t believe in settling for second best simply because it’s convenient. We want you to get exactly what you desire, and that’s why we’re proud to be your Ford pre-order dealer. This is our way of helping you get the Ford of your dreams because you deserve it.
We see it often–a customer comes to us looking for a specific model like the F-150 or the Mustang. They walk through our inventory and like what they see, but they don’t fall in love with one specific model. There’s always something off, whether it’s the upholstery, sound system, or the exterior paint color. There may even be too many chrome details for their liking. Whatever the case, the car, truck, or SUV on our lot isn’t what they envisioned, and that’s perfectly alright.
Instead of selling you an F-150 or another model that meets only your basic criteria, we’re here to encourage you to dream big. Sometimes, that means pre-ordering and waiting for the Ford of your dreams to arrive custom-built on our lot. If you ask us, the wait is truly worthwhile.
Many of our customers assume that pre-ordering a Ford means spending more money on a truck like the F-150, an SUV like the Expedition, or a sports car like the Mustang. That’s not the case at all. Our inventory is filled with models that have a broad appeal. In other words, the models offer the most popular options and features. However, we know that every customer is unique, and a few of our customers are looking for something different. By pre-ordering a Ford, you get to pick and choose the options and features you want rather than paying for whatever comes on the model on our lot.
Another common misconception about pre-ordering a Ford is that prices are set in stone. Most customers believe that building and pre-ordering a Ford online means that there aren’t any options for negotiation. That’s not true at all. If you want to build the perfect vehicle to your specifications for an affordable price, now is the time to reach out to us. Our team can help you build the Ford of your dreams for a great price that you can negotiate. Yes, you read that right. Even though you’re building a custom Ford, the price is still negotiable. We will walk you through all of your pricing options before placing the order so you can try to get the best deal possible. This negotiation will benefit both you and us when you are doing a custom order vehicle, so don't skip this step.
Ford is full of surprises with its 2022 lineup that promises more capability and technology than ever before. The 2022 Explorer ST-Line lives up to the hype and takes performance to the next level in Ford’s best-selling SUV. The ST-Line promises state-of-the-art technology, a 300-horsepower engine, and a suite of intuitive driver-assist features that give you more confidence behind the wheel.
Larger than the Explorer, the Expedition takes center stage for 2022 with a newly designed front and rear end that adds to its modern aesthetic. The 2022 Expedition also expands its power and capability with a high-output 3.5-liter Ecoboost that delivers best-in-class 440 horsepower, 510 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 9,200 pounds. This makes the Expedition one of the most capable and versatile SUVs in the segment.
Last, but far from least, the 2022 F-150 showcases another side of the Ford lineup and builds on the popularity of the F-series. The all-electric Lightning is the first-ever electric truck in Ford’s lineup and ushers the F-150 into the future. Coincidentally, it proves that an electric truck can easily live up to the Built Ford Tough capability established by its gas-powered predecessor.
We know that you have dozens of options when it comes to choosing a Ford dealership. So, why should you choose DePaula Ford to reserve your next Ford? To put it simply: you won’t find anyone else quite like us. Buying a new vehicle should be exciting, especially when you’re pre-ordering a Ford and tailoring it to your specific needs. However, many of our customers can’t get excited by the process because they’ve had terrible car-buying experiences at other dealerships. We’re here to fix that and replace your stress and overwhelm with excitement and anticipation.
We’re here to build a relationship with you that will last long after you drive off the lot. By building a relationship with you, we’ll get to know you and what you love about the Ford brand, what you want in your next Ford, and how we can better meet your needs. This lays the foundation for a relationship that will last for many years as you work with our sales team and, later, our service department as they handle all your maintenance and repair needs.
As with any meaningful relationship, you’ll find that the DePaula Ford team is genuine in our approach. We want the best for you, and that’s why we operate with honesty, transparency, and integrity in everything that we do. We take great pride in our customer-focused approach and will do everything possible to put you at ease throughout the process.
When you shop with us, you’re part of the DePaula Ford family, and that means more to us than any sales metric, quota, or bottom line. As part of the DePaula family, you’ll reap the benefits of our transparent pricing and our extensive inventory. You can also take advantage of exclusive programs like DePaula Buys Cars. This program is our way of taking care of our customers and allows you to bring your car, truck, or SUV into the dealership to receive a complimentary offer in writing. The offer is good for five days or 500 miles whether or not you buy or pre-order your next vehicle with us. This is our way of showing you that we’re here for all your vehicle needs, whatever those needs may be.
