​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Financing a vehicle can often seem a stressful, time-consuming process, but it doesn't have to be. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you about some of the many benefits of choosing Ford financing for your latest Ford. more Benefits of Ford Financing Through Your Ford Dealer You Save Time There never seems to be enough time in the day to do everything you want to. This even applies when you want to finance a car. If you apply for an auto loan at a bank, you have to complete the application forms, submit them while attending an interview, and then wait for a response. If they approve the loan, you must return to your dealer to complete additional paperwork. Choosing to finance through us is a much faster and smoother process. The application form on our website can be completed in four easy steps. Once you submit it to our finance department, one of our finance managers will contact you. We send your application to our pool of lending institutions, and they send you their loan offers. Once you choose one of these offers, we can deliver your new vehicle to your door and complete the remaining paperwork. Credit Options for Everyone Banks have very rigid procedures and policies, and they're non-negotiable regardless of your circumstances. They are usually happy to lend to someone with perfect credit but loath to offer loans to anyone with a lower credit score. We all know that most people don't have perfect credit, and this can make getting an auto loan from the bank difficult. Our view is different, as we believe you should have the vehicle you want on credit if you can afford to pay the installments for it. Our pool of lenders has the same view, and they have options available for everyone. If you have perfect credit, an average credit score, or credit that needs some improvement, we can negotiate with our lenders to get you the best deal. Additional Deals and Incentives If you apply for an auto loan through a bank, there's usually only one option available, and there are no incentives. This can be very restrictive, as repaying their auto loan within the set period will only raise your credit score. As a dealer, we have access to a range of other options beyond our lender pool. Ford Credit is available from the manufacturer and has a range of attractive offers for you to choose from. A Standard Purchase allows you to finance your new or used Ford and build equity toward your next Ford at the same time. Flex Buy is another option that provides lower repayment installments for the first three years.

An ignition coil plays an important role in how your gas-powered vehicle starts and runs. These coils convert low battery voltage into higher voltage to ignite the spark plugs. A faulty coil can impact a vehicle's performance, fuel-efficiency, and safety. By knowing the warning signs of a bad coil, you'll be able to take prompt action and schedule repairs at your Ford dealer right away. Read on as we discuss 7 signs of a faulty coil. more 1. Illuminated Engine Light Modern vehicles are equipped with onboard diagnostic sensors that detect issues within various components, including the ignition system. So, if a coil is going bad, those sensors will usually activate the check engine light. 2. Misfiring Engine When a coil fails to send the required voltage to the spark plug while you're driving, the engine will likely backfire. Backfiring will typically cause a jerking or sputtering, especially as you attempt to increase speed. If you notice this symptom, it is very important to have your vehicle checked by a mechanic right away, as continuing to drive an automobile in this condition may do further damage. 3. Hard Starts This is another instance where a coil is not sending enough voltage for the spark plug, except this happens when the car is being started. If your engine seems to be struggling to start, or you have to attempt starting several times, a bad coil may be to blame. 4. Decrease in Power If a bad coil is causing inadequate combustion, it can cause sluggish performance or hesitation when attempting to accelerate. 5. Sudden Backfires If a faulty coil cannot supply the spark plus with enough voltage to pull fuel, sometimes the fuel will escape from the exhaust system instead and cause backfiring. Ignoring backfires can lead to severe engine damage, so it is vital to get the issue addressed as soon as possible. 6. Engine Leaks Oil As a bad coil tries and fails over and over to transmit voltage, it can overwork itself and ultimately overheat. This overheating can break or damage the engine pipes, causing oil to leak out the cracks. 7. Increased Fuel Consumption When a coil is faulty, it can throw off the balance of the air/fuel mix during the combustion chamber. The engine responds to this imbalance by using more fuel in attempts to make up for the missing energy. While a coil from your vehicle's ignition system may not seem like a major car part, this component has a very important job. From misfiring to oil leaks, a faulty coil can significantly impact how your vehicle's engine starts and runs. If you are experiencing any of the above issues with your automobile, be sure to visit or call Lundgren Ford in Eveleth, MN today ​ for repairs.

Caring for your car paint keeps your vehicle looking good, but it also protects the exterior from the elements. Whether your car is a classic or fresh from the Ford dealership, proper care can keep the paint job looking new for years. more Regular Washing One of the simplest but most effective ways to protect your Ford's paint is by regularly washing it. Dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, and road salt can all damage the paint if left unattended for too long. Washing your car every two weeks, or more often if it gets dirty, can prevent these contaminants from causing lasting damage. Use a gentle automotive soap and a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching your paint. Drying Matters After washing, it's crucial to dry your car properly to avoid water spots, which contain minerals that may etch the paint over time. Use a clean, soft microfiber towel to gently dry the surface. Avoid letting your car air dry, as this can leave spots and streaks. Protective Waxing Applying a quality car wax every three to six months can provide a protective layer against UV rays, pollution, and minor scratches. Waxing not only helps in preserving the paint but also enhances your Ford's shine. Be sure to use a wax suitable for your vehicle's paint type, and follow the application instructions carefully. Practice Smart Parking Whenever possible, park your Ford in a garage or under a carport to protect it from the sun's UV rays and inclement weather. If indoor parking isn't an option, consider using a car cover made of breathable material to shield the paint from the elements. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners When cleaning your Ford, avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch or dull the paint surface. Stick to products specifically designed for automotive use, and always test any cleaner or wax in an inconspicuous area first. Regular Inspection Regularly inspect your vehicle for any signs of paint damage, including fading, cracking, and peeling. Early detection can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems and help maintain the aesthetic appeal and value of your Ford. Repair Your Car Paint at the Ford Dealership No matter how careful you are, scratches and chips can happen. It's essential to address them immediately before rust sets in.

Here are some thoughts from your Ford dealer about the ins and outs of getting diagnostics for your vehicle. more What Are Diagnostics? Getting a diagnostic for your engine helps identify issues within a vehicle's engine.

This light is part of the onboard diagnostics system (OBD-II), and it triggers when the vehicle's computer detects a problem. However, it's not just the illumination of this light that should prompt a diagnostic check. If you notice unusual symptoms such as decreased fuel efficiency, strange noises, or a drop in performance, it's time to get your Ford checked. It's also a good practice to include diagnostics as part of your regular vehicle maintenance schedule. Even if your Ford seems to be running smoothly, a diagnostic test can uncover potential issues that might be developing under the hood. The Diagnostic Process The process of diagnostics for your engine typically begins with connecting a diagnostic scanner to the vehicle's OBD-II port. This port allows the scanner to communicate with the vehicle's computer system. The scanner then retrieves a series of error codes, which are deciphered by a skilled technician. These codes point to specific issues within the engine or related systems. Once the problem areas are identified, the technician can advise on the necessary repairs or adjustments. It's important to choose a service center with experienced technicians, especially for Ford vehicles, to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective solutions.
