The 2020 Ford Bronco

April 16, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

After years of teasing, Ford’s President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs and Vice President of Global Development confirmed the Bronco’s comeback last year. One of the most famous, (or infamous) Ford Broncos are for sale currently: OJ Simpson’s. For those of you that are looking for a Ford Bronco that is less famous, trust no dealership other than Lamarque Ford. If you are still interested in purchasing the white Ford Bronco that Mr. Simpson once drove, here are the details.

This Bronco may have led police on one of the wildest police chases in history. Mike Gilbert happens to own this Ford Bronco and thinks that he can get between $750,000 to One million. The SUV is currently sitting in the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Last August, the famous Bronco has been showcased on Pawn Stars on The History Channel. On the show, customers present their stuff at a Las Vegas pawn shop and discuss a price with the owners and decide whether to sell. A previous offer of $500,000 was made for the Bronco, but the owner Mike Gilbert says that he wants to sell it for much more and give the money to his kids.

For those of you who want a Bronco in general, there are many reasons why the Bronco is still a sought out SUV. Ford made sure the Bronco was versatile, offering it in three configurations: a pickup, wagon, and roadster. All three modes rode on a 92-inch wheelbase. The Bronco was specifically engineered to handle a higher payload.

Many Ford experts believe that nostalgia alone has kept the Ford Bronco in people’s minds and have helped the fan base highly anticipate the new 2020 Ford Bronco. If you are looking for a Ford in Louisiana, Lamarque Ford stays unmatched in knowledge, expertise, and helpfulness. Come to Lamarque Ford and see why we are the best Ford Dealership around!

Lamarque Ford is your favorite used truck dealer, and they are in high demand in the spring. With all the gardening, landscaping, and other projects: there’s no denying that Ford Trucks are the most powerful tool in your arsenal. Here at Lamarque Ford, we’ve revolutionized the way that you buy, trade and finance.

WebBuy is the first end-to-end car-buying experience available online, and it fully connects consumers, lenders, and dealerships all-in-one app. The car buying game has changed, and you no longer have to plan an entire day to go from car dealership to dealership, haggling over the price you want to pay for your new car, how much you should get for your old one, and how you’re going to finance the purchase.

In a recent study, results show that most consumers aren’t fans of the standard car dealership experience. In fact, three quarters said that if given the opportunity, they would consider making their entire car-buying process online, including financing, price negotiation, back-office paperwork and home delivery.

The most important factors that shoppers say swayed their decision to make their purchase online rather than in-store are: saving money, easier shopping, a better selection, and faster shopping experience. The fifth most popular factor was equally divided, with one in five shoppers saying they chose online because they get better information there, and the same number saying it was because they are routinely shopping there already. At Lamarque Ford, we pride ourselves on offering the same exceptional experience inside and outside of our dealership.

At the forefront of adaptation, Lamarque Ford knows that a substantial portion of shoppers are no avoiding dealerships because they can buy cars on their smartphone. Our selection of used vehicles at Lamarque Ford can be sold on any platform because as always, Ford is reliable, durable, and built Ford Tough.

If you are looking for a new or used vehicle, Lamarque Ford has a wide selection for you to choose from. With WebBuy you can browse our selection from the comfort of your own home without even stepping foot in our dealership.

Just Truckin Around

August 27, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Is your ride a coupe or sedan? Is your view constantly obstructed by a truck, making traffic the most oppressive nightmare of all time?
Well like the bumper sticker says, “If You Can’t Beat Um, JOIN UM.”
Not only are trucks the perfect weapon against the pothole tyranny that has befallen the New-Metro area, driving a truck is like the South’s secret handshake. It’s like, “Who’s this joker? Wait is that an F-150? I thought that was you, how’ve you been brother?!”

Not convinced?
Well perhaps try these scenarios on for size, after which we DEFY YOU to not jump into your lame 4-door and fly to Lamarque Ford for a Truck-grade.
(See what we did there? It’s like upgrade, but with “Truck.” This is both a dealership and a comedy club.)

These are luxury vehicles plus your list of assets now includes “built-in pool.” Your stock just went up.

Because self respect. Get off the ground.

“Let’s go Tramping,” is suddenly a great idea.

#MulletOnWheels

When ya gotta GO on the go. Porta-Potties just got extra portable.
Here in New Orleans its more like Parade-a-Potty.

Also, hella HORSE POWER.

We call that the “pickup” feature. You’re Welcome.

5 Signs You Need an F-150

June 5, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

You’re in denial. Don’t deny it, knowing is half the battle. Lamarque Ford is here to help you come to grips with the fact that you have a problem, and its not just running out of paper towels at a crawfish boil. If you find yourself in the following situations on more than one occasion, the answer is clear: YOU NEED AN F-150.

1. When you try and FAIL to maneuver your truck through a space the size of a shoe box. See 360-Degree Camera w/Split View Display.

2. You call it quits on the project you’re working on as soon as you see the sun start to set because your current pickup truck has the light source of a firefly. See LED Lighting.

3. On the day you’re feeling macho, your decision to shout “YOLO” and gun it on the freeway comes back to haunt you as you fail to slow down near an upcoming curve. See Curve Control.

4. It takes you fifteen minutes to do a simple parallel park since your truck is so high off the ground that you can’t see that tiny hybrid car parked right behind you. See Active Park Assist.

5. When you’re constantly at risk of being slapped with a DUI because law enforcement doesn’t know if you’re drunk or if you just can’t stay in your own lane. See Lane-Keeping System.
