By David Lightfoot, New Car Manager at Milnes Ford
The 2026 Ford models are arriving, and that means Milnes Ford is ready to make room by selling our remaining new 2025 Ford inventory.
If you have been waiting for the right time to purchase or lease a new Ford, August may give you more reasons to act. Depending on the vehicle you choose and your eligibility, available August specials may include returning-lessee cash, trade assistance, zero-percent financing, delayed payments, maintenance coverage, down payment assistance and additional money for your trade.
You may even receive a $25 gift card just for having your current vehicle appraised.
Our remaining 2025 inventory is limited, and the offers available on one model may be different from those available on another. Once these vehicles are sold, they are gone.

Why Milnes Ford Is Clearing Out the Remaining 2025 Inventory
There is nothing wrong with a brand-new 2025 Ford simply because the 2026 models are arriving.
These vehicles are still new. They have not had a previous retail owner, and they include the applicable new-vehicle factory warranty. The main difference is the model year printed on the window sticker.
Dealerships need space for incoming inventory. Ford may also provide incentives to help dealers sell remaining prior-model-year vehicles.
That combination can create an opportunity for buyers who care more about getting the right vehicle and a strong offer than having the newest model year printed on the registration.
Buying a remaining 2025 Ford may make sense when:
- The vehicle has the features you want.
- You plan to keep it for several years.
- You qualify for one or more available incentives.
- You have a vehicle to trade.
- You are returning from an eligible lease.
- You want to reduce your initial ownership expenses.
- You prefer to buy from existing inventory instead of ordering and waiting.
The most important consideration is whether the Ford fits your needs. If it does, the available August offers could make a new 2025 model an especially attractive choice.
Get a $25 Gift Card for Having Your Vehicle Appraised
You do not have to guess what your current car, truck or SUV may be worth.
Bring your vehicle to Milnes Ford for an appraisal during the August promotion and receive a $25 gift card.
An appraisal does not mean you are required to trade your vehicle. It simply gives you real information that can help you decide what to do next.
You may discover that your vehicle is worth more than you expected. Depending on your loan payoff and the condition of the vehicle, its equity could help reduce the amount you need to finance or lease.
Milnes Ford appraises vehicles of different makes, models, ages and mileage levels. Your vehicle does not need to be a Ford.
Factors that can affect its value include:
- Mileage
- Mechanical condition
- Interior condition
- Exterior condition
- Vehicle history
- Tires and equipment
- Current market demand
- Local inventory
- Loan payoff amount
Start your trade-in estimate online:
Then bring the vehicle to Milnes Ford so our team can inspect it and provide an appraisal.
Get an Additional $1,000 for Your Trade
During the August promotion, eligible customers can receive an additional $1,000 for their trade when they purchase or lease a new, in-stock 2025 Ford model.
This is in addition to the vehicle’s appraised trade value.
For example, if your vehicle receives a qualifying appraisal, the additional $1,000 trade offer may increase the total amount applied to your purchase or lease.
That extra money could help:
- Reduce the amount financed
- Reduce the amount due at signing
- Help cover negative equity
- Lower the monthly payment
- Make upgrading to a newer vehicle more manageable
The additional trade allowance applies to qualifying transactions involving a new, in-stock 2025 Ford. Inventory is limited and subject to prior sale.
See the qualifying 2025 inventory:
Up to $1,750 in Trade Assistance
Some eligible customers and qualifying vehicles may also receive up to $1,750 in trade assistance.
Trade assistance is separate from the normal market value of your trade. It is an incentive connected to the purchase or lease of an eligible new Ford and may have specific vehicle, ownership or program requirements.
Depending on the vehicle and program rules, this assistance could potentially provide another reason to replace an older vehicle in August.
Do not assume your current vehicle is too old, has too many miles or needs to be paid off before it can be traded. Let us appraise it and review the complete transaction.
Our team will explain:
- The actual value of your trade
- Your remaining loan payoff
- Whether you have positive or negative equity
- Available trade assistance
- Additional qualifying incentives
- The estimated purchase or lease payment
Not every program can necessarily be combined, but we will identify the available combination that provides the best value for the Ford you select.
Up to $2,250 for Returning Lessees
Are you currently leasing a vehicle or approaching the end of a lease?
Eligible returning lessees may qualify for up to $2,250 in returning-lessee cash toward a qualifying new Ford purchase or lease.
Your current lease may not need to be a Ford lease for every available program, but eligibility depends on the specific incentive requirements in effect for the vehicle you choose.
Returning-lessee assistance could help you:
- Move from your current lease into a new Ford
- Reduce the amount due at signing
- Lower the amount financed
- Offset certain transition expenses
- Choose a vehicle that better fits your current needs
Perhaps you previously leased a smaller SUV but now need more passenger space. Maybe you are driving a truck but would prefer a more efficient commuter. Your family, job or driving habits may have changed since you signed the original lease.
Bring your current lease information to Milnes Ford. We can review the maturity date, remaining payments, mileage and available options before helping you compare a new 2025 Ford purchase with another lease.
Zero-Percent APR Financing for 36 Months
A qualifying new 2025 Ford may be available with 0% APR financing for 36 months for approved buyers.
With zero-percent financing, you do not pay traditional financing interest during the promotional loan term. That can create substantial savings compared with a standard interest-bearing auto loan.
A 36-month term generally has a higher monthly payment than a longer loan because the balance is repaid more quickly. However, it may appeal to buyers who:
- Want to avoid financing interest
- Have a larger down payment or valuable trade
- Prefer a shorter loan term
- Want to build equity faster
- Plan to keep the vehicle after it is paid off
- Can comfortably manage the required monthly payment
Zero-percent financing is subject to credit approval and may not be available on every remaining 2025 Ford. It may also be offered in place of certain other incentives.
Our finance team can compare zero-percent financing with available rebate and standard financing options. The option with the largest advertised incentive is not always the one that produces the lowest total cost, so we will show you the actual numbers.
Apply for financing:
Zero Payments for 90 Days
Eligible buyers may be able to purchase a qualifying new Ford and make no payments for the first 90 days.
Delaying the first payment can be helpful when you need time to adjust your budget after purchasing a vehicle. It may also allow you to manage upcoming household expenses without immediately adding a vehicle payment.
A delayed first payment does not mean the payments disappear. The start of the payment schedule is postponed according to the financing agreement, and interest may begin accruing before the first payment depending on the program terms.
Our finance team will explain:
- The first payment date
- The monthly payment
- The total amount financed
- The loan term
- The applicable interest rate
- Whether interest accrues during the delayed-payment period
Review the complete financing agreement before deciding whether a 90-day payment deferral fits your budget.
Zero Maintenance Costs for Two Years
Qualifying new Ford customers may also receive two years or 25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance coverage through a Premium Maintenance Plan.
The plan can help cover eligible scheduled maintenance during the first two years of ownership, up to the applicable mileage limit.
Covered maintenance may vary according to the vehicle and plan terms, but a maintenance plan can help make early ownership expenses more predictable.
Instead of immediately budgeting for every eligible scheduled service, you can bring your Ford to Milnes Ford and have covered maintenance completed by Ford-trained technicians.
Depending on the plan, eligible maintenance may include services such as:
- Engine oil and filter changes
- Tire rotations
- Multi-point inspections
- Certain scheduled maintenance items
- Other services identified in the plan agreement
Coverage is limited to the terms of the two-year/25,000-mile Premium Maintenance Plan. Ask our team to review the exact covered services for the vehicle you are considering.

Get $1,000 Toward Your Down Payment
Eligible customers may receive $1,000 toward their down payment on a qualifying new Ford.
A larger down payment can reduce the amount financed. Depending on the structure of the transaction, it may also help lower the monthly payment.
Down payment assistance can be especially useful for a buyer who has:
- Limited trade equity
- A smaller amount available at signing
- A goal of reducing the financed balance
- An older vehicle with a remaining payoff
- A preference for keeping more money available for other expenses
The $1,000 down payment offer is subject to eligibility and program rules. Our team will determine whether it applies to the Ford you select and whether it can be combined with other available incentives.
First-Time Buyer Cash: $500
Buying your first vehicle can be exciting, but it can also be difficult when you have a limited automotive credit history.
Eligible first-time buyers may receive $500 in First-Time Buyer Cash toward a qualifying new Ford.
The program may help buyers who are purchasing or financing a vehicle for the first time. Eligibility and credit requirements apply, and approval is not guaranteed.
Our finance team works with more than 30 lending partners and can help eligible buyers understand:
- Credit requirements
- Down payment options
- Available terms
- Estimated monthly payments
- Whether a co-buyer may be needed
- Documents required for approval
- Available first-time buyer programs
You should choose a payment that fits comfortably into your budget, not simply the most expensive vehicle for which you can receive an approval.

Which August Offers Can Be Combined?
The offers available to you depend on several factors, including:
- The specific 2025 Ford selected
- Whether you purchase or lease
- Your credit approval
- Your current lease
- Your trade-in vehicle
- Residency requirements
- First-time buyer eligibility
- Ford incentive rules
- The financing option selected
Not every customer will qualify for every incentive, and not every offer can be combined.
For example, zero-percent financing may be offered as an alternative to certain cash incentives. A returning-lessee program may require proof of an eligible current or recently terminated lease. Trade assistance may require a qualifying trade.
That is why we do not recommend adding every advertised amount together and assuming that total applies to every vehicle.
Select the 2025 Ford you want, and our team will prepare a written breakdown showing the offers available for that particular transaction.
Which New 2025 Ford Models Are Still Available?
Remaining inventory will change throughout August as vehicles are sold.
Depending on availability, the remaining 2025 selection may include Ford trucks, SUVs, performance vehicles or electric vehicles.

Why Buy a Remaining 2025 Ford?
Purchasing a prior-model-year vehicle is not the right choice for everyone. Some buyers want the newest updates and prefer to order a 2026 model.
However, a remaining 2025 Ford may provide better value when the vehicle has the features you need and qualifies for a strong incentive.
Potential advantages include:
- Special financing
- Additional trade assistance
- Returning-lessee cash
- Down payment assistance
- Delayed first payments
- Maintenance coverage
- New-vehicle warranty protection
- Immediate availability
- No need to wait for a factory order
You can test-drive the exact vehicle, inspect its features and know precisely what you are buying.
