First-Time Buyer Program

Buying a car is one of the most important financial decisions you'll ever make. That decision gets even bigger when you've never done it before. But here's the good news! At Kieffe and Son's Ford you'll find answers to all your questions as well as helpful tips to make your vehicle purchase a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Ford's First-Time Buyer Program goal is to get you into the vehicle – and finance option that's right for you. Not everyone will qualify, but it's comforting to know that you may buy a new car, suv or truck, or in some instances, a certified pre-owned Ford with no or minimal credit!

Although, I cannot guarantee approval, I can guarantee that you will be treated with dignity and respect regardless of the outcome. At Kieffe, we don't do the "Playhouse 90" act. You deal with one representative (me) throughout the entire purchasing process; from test-drive to financing. Also, I am happy to bring and show you our product to your home or business.
