North Brothers Ford in Westland, MI is Celebrating 75 Years

WESTLAND, Mich.–– It is with great pleasure, pride, and joy that North Brothers will be celebrating a momentous year. North Brothers Ford in Westland, MI is celebrating 75 years of service to the area this year! May 19th marks the official milestone for our Ford dealership in southeast Michigan. With a rich history and strong family ties still present today, we can only hope for another 75 years just as wonderful as the past. We hope you join us in celebration of this anniversary, because it is the relationship we have with our customers and the community that makes our success so meaningful.

The original North brothers, Raymond and Ernest first started the legacy with the opening of a Mobil service station in Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1928. In 1936, they began selling new cars and trucks. Because of their success, Ford Motor Company offered them a new car franchise in 1941 where they would sell Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. In 1945 North Brothers became a Ford exclusive dealer. Fast forward to the final and current location of North Bros, our Ford Road Westland, Michigan dealership was built in 1968! Today, North Brothers Ford remains in the same Westland location with the same goal of providing excellent service and quality products to all of our guests! But with 75 years of business, comes so much more history. You can read the full history of North Brothers Ford and the family legacy on our website!

The Difference Between Buying a New Car Versus a Used Car

WESTLAND, Mich.­­– Much like the debate over whether you should buy or lease a vehicle, you might also grapple with the difference between buying a new car versus a used car. Off the top of your head, you can probably think of a number of factors that go into this decision such as cost, technology, and repairs. But the questions you really want to answer ask how exactly those factors set apart the new from the used.

What does each cost?

More often than not, a new car will be pricier than a used car. This is because new vehicles tend to include newer technology, updated features, and modern design elements. However, if keeping up with automotive trends isn’t a priority for you, consider the fact that buying a used car will save you money due to its lack of contemporary features.

What are the differences in financing?

Interest rates hinge on a car’s resale value. It’s easier for a bank to predict how much a new car will depreciate compared to a used car (within 5 years new cars can depreciate by $9,000). Used cars come with higher interest rates than new cars do because they're more prone to major mechanical issues. Then there's the risk of a buyer who decides to bail on their used car purchase and leaves it for the bank to deal with a resale. A lender can make up for the uncertain resale value of a used car by hiking up the interest rate. However, despite used cars having higher interest rates, you still end up paying less in monthly payments because the cars principal is much lower than that of a new car.

How’s the gas mileage?

People really, really care about their gas mileage these days––you know how pricy the pumps can be. Of course, getting better fuel economy can be one of the perks of purchasing a new car. New cars usually get better gas mileage than used cars because, again, new cars tend to have updated technology. If you want to save money at the pump, a new car is your best bet.

Which costs more to insure?

Naturally, new cars cost more to insure than used cars do. Although new cars usually contain more updated safety features than used cars do, the higher cost of insurance for new cars is due to their overall higher value. The higher the value of the car, the more it costs to insure.

How much does maintenance and repairs cost?

A big chunk of a new car’s price tag includes a warranty that covers maintenance and repairs for a set amount of time. The great thing about a warranty is that you know most maintenance and repairs for are covered by the dealership or original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Just remember that eventually that warranty will disappear. Sometimes used cars come with warranties as well. These are called certified pre-owned vehicles, and you might consider this as an option for your next purchase. Aside from certified pre-owned vehicles, most used cars are more likely than new cars to require maintenance and repairs, which means you’ll end up paying more in that area. Then again, sometimes you get lucky and find a used car that runs forever without any major issues.

There are a number of important factors to ponder over when you look at the difference between buying a new car versus a used car. Hopefully this list breaks down some of the bigger differences for you, but feel free to come into our Plymouth area used car dealer with any other questions you might have. We'd be happy to give you the rundown on some of our used cars and trucks, and explain what makes them different from our new Ford cars and new Ford trucks. Either way, we’ll help you find the vehicle that’s right for you!

Ford to Showcase the 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition

WESTLAND, Mich.- Ford Motor Company plans to reveal images of the exterior design of the 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition on April 9^th at in at the Motor Press Guild luncheon. There are very limited details about how much information Ford is willing to reveal to the general public but Doug Scott, the Ford Truck Group Marketing manager, will be briefing the press on the Raptor Special Edition and also discussing the entire Ford Truck lineup. The event is going to be held at the Ford Showroom in Irvine, California

The stock Ford F-150 SVT Raptor touts a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that puts out 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque; however, it is still a mystery about what kind of gear Ford is planning to outfit the 2014 Special Edition with—some truck-lovers are speculating that we might even see an EcoBoost engine under the hood. Additionally, there are some rumblings about a large reduction in the overall weight of the vehicle, related to fuel-efficiency and increasing government regulation.

The event will also include a display of several Ford vehicles including the Raptor and the F-150 EcoBoost truck. The presentation will be based around trucks, vans, and the how fuel-efficiency is changing this important segment of the market. The Motor Press Guild is an information and education exchange for people involved with the automotive industry. 

We will have to wait to get all the details on the 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition! If you want to get behind the wheel of the stock 2013 Ford F-150, feel free to check out the 2013 Ford F-150 Brochure or take a look at our whole line of New Ford Trucks in Canton MI! North Brothers Ford can help you select a vehicle that will fit your lifestyle and also help you save money with our Rebates on the Ford F150. We also offer a wide selection of Low Mileage Used Trucks in Canton MI. North Brothers Ford, located at 33300 Ford Rd Westland, MI 48185, is proud to be one of the premier dealerships in Southeast Michigan committed to exceptional customer service!
