A Ford Halloween

October 18, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Who is ready for a Ford Halloween? For over 30 years, Michigan Central Station sat vacant, eerily standing guard overlooking Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood. Ford officially bought the train station this past summer, for the recently disclosed price of $90 million, Detroiters were excited at the possibility that the building’s beautiful Beaux-Arts architecture would finally see new life.

Upon opening its doors in 1913, the classic Beaux-Arts-style building became an immediate fixture of downtown Detroit. It was an opulent, 18-story building and the tallest train station in the world at the time.

Since 1988, the Detroit station has been abandoned. It fell into a dilapidated state and has starred as a gritty and derelict backdrop to films such as Eminem’s 8 Mile, Transformers and Batman v. Superman.

Before Ford plans to redevelop the area for its new headquarters, it’s going to haunt Detroiters to a haunted house. For only one day this Halloween season, Ford will turn the depot’s first floor into a haunted house. The Ford Motor Company Fund is to provide community services and they will fund the entire haunted experience.

After the Haunted House, Ford plans to redevelop the space as an innovation hub and to revitalize the Grand Hall with local retail and restaurants. Before the ambitious project gets underway, it’s opening its doors for one night only this Halloween as a Haunted House.

Priority access will be given to local residents and will be free to the public. Tickets will go fast! In this Halloween season, we also have a special promotion running at Lamarque Ford featuring scary low prices. Click here to see what savings are in store for you. No matter what you are looking for, whether it be a new or used car, auto financing options, car service appointments, test drive, or help to figure out what auto part you might need.

It’s no trick. Come treat yourself at Lamarque Ford.

Ford Credit Helps Finance Ford Lovers

October 15, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

If you are a Ford lover then you already know about Ford Credit. Since 1959, Ford credit has worked with dealerships to put people behind the wheels of great Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Ford Credit provides financing, outstanding service, and professional expertise to 51,000 dealers and more than 4 million customers in about 100 countries.

All across the nation, families are struggling to get ahead. For some, the rising costs of healthcare chip away at their gains. For others, stagnating wages and college bills are a real problem.

No matter where you go, you’ll hear stories of hardship – many of which are out of our control.

But, what if I told you some financial pain in this country is self-inflicted? What if I told you one financial decision, in particular, has been absolutely catastrophic for people at every income?

According to a recent State of the Automotive Finance Study from Experian, the average new car payment reached $523 per month last quarter. Worse, the average new car loan is 68 months long!

We like to give it to you honest at Lamarque Ford and we are proud to offer Ford Credit. Here’s more about what Ford Credit can do for you!

During the great recession, Ford Credit became a very valuable asset for the company. At this time, GM and Chrysler lost their credit units and Ford was able to keep its credit unit successfully. This played a vital role in the company’s turnaround as it helped car buyers find credit at a time credit was extremely difficult to obtain. In addition, it significantly increased the revenue generated from each car.

If you have a high credit score, you could qualify for 0% APR*: one of the many reasons that Ford owners are so loyal. If you want to see if you would qualify for Ford credit, click here.
