One of the most instantly recognisable car manufacturers in the world, Ford has a rich history in the automotive industry. Henry Ford began the journey when he built his first experimental car in a Detroit workshop back in 1896. This was soon followed up by the formation of the Ford Motor Company and the release of the Model T car, which revolutionised the manufacturing of vehicles around the world.
Fast-forwarding to the present day, Ford remains one of the most popular manufacturers in the world, and particularly in the UK. Their reliability and value for money are often pointed to as reasons for their high numbers of sales, and the company appears to be going from strength to strength with some exciting plans for the future, including further ideas for electric vehicles to add to the success of models such as the Mach-E. More electric vehicles will be on the horizon for Ford, too.
When Should You Sell Your Ford?
Knowing the best time to sell your Ford can be tough to get your head around, but we’re here to help. As a general point, the longer time goes on, the more a car will lose value. Therefore, if you’re looking for someone to buy your Ford Focus, then the best time is generally just before plates change in either March or September. By selling just before these changes, you should be able to retain a bit of value on your sale.
Other factors that affect the value of your Ford include mileage, damage, and service history. For example, the further your car has driven, the less the value is likely to be due to wear and tear. Similarly, if your car has sustained any damage in the past and needed to be repaired, this will also reduce the value slightly. Even factors such as the time of year can affect the price, for example a Ford convertible will be worth more in the summer months, as the demand will be higher.

Can Ford Buy Back Your Car?
During the pandemic, Ford brought in a scheme called the Ford Promise program, whereby Ford would buy back your vehicle if you lost your job by involuntary means within a year of buying a new, used, or pre-owned vehicle. This related to any 2019 to 2021 model year car that was financed through Ford Credit for personal use.
Don’t worry if you don’t meet the criteria for this scheme though, as it’s quick and easy to sell your Ford car with GoodBye Car.
