Buying a New Ford Vehicle in Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I do not know what model I am going to obtain yet for my new car, but I do know that it is going to be from a Ford dealer in Houston. Is there anything concerning cost that I ought to have a look out for while I am shopping for cars at a Ford dealer in Houston?

Sharon, if you are planning on going to a Ford dealer in Houston, you absolutely should know what type of car you are going to get ahead of time. First of all, they regularly sell all types of cars even with the given name of Ford dealer in Houston, so the great selection can be confusing, more so if you are a first time buyer. My little sister go to a Ford dealer in Houston with not having researched what she liked the first time, and albeit she asked to see Fords, she ended up with a Chrysler.
But you should also know prior to purchasing a car which one you like, and a good means to settle on that is to think out what the expenses will be after you purchase the car. If your credit is not so good, then you should perhaps get a less expensive car, because or else your monthly payments will be vast and so on. Some cars value more than others to keep. No-one costs more for an oil change for one car over another, however if you acquire a certain type of car then the parts can be quite expensive. I had a BMW on one occasion and the costs of the parts, even the black market ones, were a killer. Think about that ahead of purchasing any European car.
Trucks and SUVs seem great and drive great and have good performance and all that, but they also cost several hundred dollars per month to keep filled up. Unless you are prepared to make that type of commitment or initiate riding your bike a lot, you need to keep away. Anytime you purchase a new car, its price goes down really quickly as soon as you drive it off the lot. The first two years are the nastiest. But there are cars decreases in value more quickly than others, so you can get a car that decrease in value slowly and if you ever need to sell it, you might in fact make a little money off of it.
Insurance is an immense cost. For us it is about a thousand dollars a year and it might probably be less if we possess more insurable cars. If you get a secure, not so expensive car that is not on the mainly stolen list, then you are probably good to go.
Planet Ford Houston Dealership
I always get new cars from Planet Ford Houston. This has been my practice since I got my first car when I was sixteen under my dad’s name and worked at McDonald’s to pay it off. I guess it could be because of the location, which is right in my area, and it’s also the people. A lot of salespeople at car dealerships are so cheery and fake that it gets on my nerves, but the people at Houston Planet Ford are more real and often funny.
I like it for more reasons than just that, obviously. Mostly because every time I buy a car from Houston Planet Ford there is some kind of special going on for the very car that I want. It’s not that Planet Ford Houston is psychic, it’s just that they have a lot of specials on all kinds of vehicles, unlike some car dealerships which I will not name who only offer discounts on trucks. I have never wanted a truck, nor will I ever, so the variety from Houston Planet Ford is good for me.
Since I’m a long time customer of them, though, I have a lot more to say than just things about their car price specials. The part of their service that I experience the most is their, well, service. Even if I might buy a car from Houston Planet Ford once every four years or so, I’m going several times a year for maintenance, service, and repair, and that’s what I see the most of.
First of all, when I got into an accident five years ago, Houston Planet Ford sent out a tow truck free of charge to bring my car to them. It would take a couple of days to repair it, but I didn’t have a ride or anyone to pick me up at the time. Lucky for me, Planet Ford Houston has a shuttle which takes people home if they live 15 miles from it or closer, so long as their car is in for collision repair. I also got a discount on the repair because I’m a Planet Citizen.
