The Ford Drives U program provides a great deal on your next new purchase or lease of an eligible Ford vehicle. Our finance team will help you explore options and find the right vehicle to help you along on your daily commute!

How Does the Ford Drives U Program Work?

All eligible drivers who meet the requirements of the program can receive $500 bonus cash toward the purchase or lease of an eligible new 2019/2020/2021 Ford or Lincoln vehicle. You can explore various options at our Ford dealership to find the perfect vehicle to get you to your new job after you have completed your college experience.

While we're happy to help you explore Ford vehicles to find the one that works with the Ford Drives U deal, there are a few models that won't work with this incentive. They include:

  • Mustang Shelby® GT350®/GT350R/GT500®
  • Ford GT
  • F-150 Raptor
  • Bronco
  • Mustang Mach-E

You can still search through our new inventory of Ford cars, SUVs, and trucks to find the perfect match for your purchase or lease.

We're eager to help you find a new Ford after you graduate college or as you get ready to attend your first class. Visit Saratoga Ford and walk through the benefits of the Ford Drives U program with our Ford team!
