What Is Ford Direct?

Ford Direct is Ford's programme for quality-assured used vehicles, designed to give customers additional reassurance when buying a previously owned Ford.

Ford Direct vehicles are subject to preparation and quality checks, with programme benefits that can include a Ford warranty, Ford Assistance roadside support, a vehicle exchange plan and other benefits, subject to the vehicle and applicable terms.

At Perkins Garage, our Ford Direct offering gives customers in Braintree and North Essex another way to explore used and nearly new Ford vehicles with the reassurance associated with the programme.

I bought an EV from the dealership and the experience was first class from start to finish. They were happy to show us a range of vehicles to see which best fit our requirements and we're happy to redirect us to other ford garages which had stock of the vehicle they showed us. We booked a test drive in one vehicle in budget and they removed seats in the kombi van on request for the drive.

Dealt with Andrew and Alan. Both a pleasure to deal with. Very open and honest and just focus on the car sale. Not all the bolt-on extras that you don't want or can arrange yourself. Very happy with the car, and despite others being available locally, I got a good vibe from Perkins and I am glad I used them.

Perkins Garages Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Perkins Garages Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
