Ford Adds 0.0% on 2003 Models; Continues 2002 Sell-Down Offers

DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 6, 2002 - Ford is enhancing its new vehicle incentives by offering 0.0% financing and cash rebates up to $2,000 on many of its 2003 Ford brand cars, trucks and SUVs.

Ford reduced financing rates, now including 0.0% on 36-month contracts, on 2003 Ford Crown Victoria, Windstar, Taurus, Mustang, F-150, F-Series Super Duty and Excursion. An extra $500 rebate also was added to previous cash rebates offered on 2003 Crown Victoria, Windstar, Taurus, Mustang, F-Series Super Duty and Escape.

Ford also continues its 2002 sell-down event by offering 0.0% financing up to 60 months or cash rebates up to $3,500 on most models.

"We're offering customers the best of both worlds," said Steve Lyons, Ford Division president. "With interest-free financing for 60 months on 2002 models and for 36 months on 2003 models, there's no question some of the best deals available are on Ford brand vehicles."

The new incentives are available Sept. 6 through Sept. 30, 2002.
