Ford Dealership Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
My dad told me that if I ever wanted a true muscle-car, I’d better stick to a Mustang. I’m not really keen on maintaining a true classic from the ‘60s, if I could actually get my hands on one. Would it be a loss if I stuck it out with a late model Mustang? I’m sure the local Houston, Texas Ford guys are raring to give me a good pitch. I’d like to hear what the guys in here have to say first before I take on the dealers.

Bobby, yeah, your dad hit the nail on the head. But, you know, I also agree with you completely. If it isn’t really part of your talents to get all greased up maintaining a classic, you’d better go for the latter models. Good thing the boys at Ford had “classic” in mind when launched the Mustang for the 21st century. After all, why tinker with classic looks that still make heads turn, right? Bobby Lee, it is okay to get behind the wheel of a late model Mustang in Houston, Texas. Just be ready for some envious stares.
Anyway, from 2005 to the current model year, you’ll notice the obvious “classic Mustang look” that you are probably familiar with from TV and movies. I’ll term it as a “rebirth” and that should answer the issue of owning a classic-year Mustang on your end. And as real-live mustangs gallop with a thundering pride, the Ford Mustang packs 300 horsepower with its V8 engine found in the GT model. That should give you a rush driving on the highway. Think Steve McQueen in Bullitt. Handling for the 2008/2009 models are also improved compared to 2005. One thing though, the fuel economy, which I’ve heard is at 19 mpg, is not really for those with bad memories and nightmares of $4 per gallon of gas. But since you are looking for a Mustang to drive, that is not really a problem for you.
See you on the highways.
Ford dealerships in Houston Texas
When you go to one of the many Ford dealerships in Houston Texas, normally the car salesperson will be pretty firm about the price of the vehicle you are thinking about buying. There it is, on the sticker. Maybe there’s a rebate involved, but in the end, that sticker price is the final price. I see way too many people just accepting this and paying whatever amount the salesperson at whichever one of the Ford dealerships in Houston Texas ask them to pay.
What’s wrong with people? You could be saving a lot of money. I don’t get that. All you have to do is look around to find out what the car you want to buy is really worth, not just accept whatever all of the Ford dealerships in Houston Texas tell you. They might point out to one price is final, but I’ve found that that is never true. Every time I’ve bought a car from one of the Ford dealerships in Houston Texas, they’ve told me that was the final price, and I’ve managed to get something lower.
First you need to go to something like Kelley’s Blue Book. That’s a ‘book’ (well, I look at it online) that tells you how much your car is worth. You can figure out its value based on the condition, whether it’s new or used, whatever, and you should get that information before you go to one of the Ford dealerships in Houston Texas.
Another thing is to look around and see what all of the Ford dealerships in Houston Texas are offering. Some have better prices than others, so that’s a big hint right there of where you should go to get your car, chief.
Ford dealerships in Houston
Q: What are the different Ford dealerships in Houston?
A: Yikes…there are a lot of Ford dealerships in Houston. I don’t think I could count them on my two hands, but I could be wrong. If you want to know what the best one is, it’s Planet Ford, easily. But, really, the Ford dealerships in Houston are of pretty good quality. I’ve only been to a couple of them, but I know a lot of people who have been to the others and they have a lot of good things to say.
- Planet Ford.
There are three locations. I live by the one that’s on I-45 in the Spring area, but there’s also one near Humble on I-59 and closer to Houston on Highway 6 south. Right now you can sign up for an instant savings certificate at their website and save five hundred dollars on whatever car you buy.
- Mac Haik Ford.
Mac Haik Ford is one of the few Ford dealerships in Houston that allows you to apply for a car loan online, which is pretty good, especially if you have bad credit. I know that it’s kind of embarrassing when you’re in the tiny room and the salesperson comes in to tell you that your credit is terrible and you’ll have to pay a billion dollars a month. It’s nice to be able to get that from a distance. haha
Mac Haik Ford is among the many Ford dealerships in Houston that are located on I-10, so if you want to brave the construction madness down there, all power to you. You can make it easier for yourself by applying online and scheduling a test drive online.
- Lonestar Ford.
This is the car dealership for true Texans, or so my brother in law says. Among the Ford dealerships in Houston, Lonestar does really stand out. I think one of the greatest things about them is that they have so many specials, and they have new ones every week. I just checked them out online, and there’s like fifteen specials there, and on some pretty nice cars.
Houston Ford truck
Q: Are then any good specials on a Houston Ford truck? Specifically in Northwest Houston would be best.
A: You asked at just the right time, because I live in Northwest Houston right down the road from Joe Myers Ford. They’re always advertising about their specials and I drive past them everyday. My brother in law bought his Houston Ford truck from them two years ago (it was a pre owned F-150, and in great condition with an excellent warranty, too–I got to drive it recently and I’m a little jealous).
There are a lot of specials right now for someone who wants to buy a pre owned Houston Ford truck. Let me get my piece of paper, because I wrote them down for a friend who is looking for a car.
- 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
The MSRP on this one was $25,495, and now it’s just five dollars under twenty thousand. So that’s, what? $5,500 in savings? It’s practically brand new, too, and, as Joe Myers Houston Ford truck dealer says, ‘quality checked’.
- 2003 Ford F-150.
This one if very cheap. It was originally $14,595, and now it’s going for $12,995. That isn’t a huge savings, but it’s still a pretty low price for a car that’s relatively new. Like I said about my brother’s car, the F-150 Houston Ford truck is excellent.
- 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty.
This one has hardly any difference in price. Before the price cut, it came in at $33,995, and now it’s just a mere thousand dollars less. You could do better, especially considering that this is more expensive than a brand new car. I like the design, though, and it’s more for someone who is into the whole beast machine Houston Ford truck.
- 2001 Ford F-150.
This was going for $24,995, and now it’s six thousand less than that. That’s a pretty good cut in price, but I wonder if that’s right for the depreciated value? It’s probably because it’s in great condition or has a warranty.
