Congratulations on purchasing your new Ford. It can be so exhilarating to be out on the road in a brand new vehicle! Before you hit the highway with your new wheels, there are a few pieces of business that you have to take care of first. Before you even think about taking your new Ford off of the lot at the dealership, you need to get it insured. Place a call to your insurance agent and let him know that you have purchased a new car and need to get insurance on it immediately. If you traded in the car you already had, let the agent know so that that automobile can be removed from your insurance policy. If you do not presently have car insurance because you have never owned a vehicle or have been without one for awhile, you can get a quote from the Ford Motor Company Insurance Services Program by visiting the website for Ford Auto Insurance. Once you have proof of insurance, you then must register your automobile. Registration involves the purchase of license plates or the transferring of existing ones. You cannot simply take the license plate from one car and place it on the new one. It does not work like that. Whatever you do, do not leave your proof of registration in your car. Instead, carry it with you, just as you carry your driver's license with you. If someone were to steal your car and be stopped by the police, they could produce the proof of registration and tell the officer that you loaned them the vehicle. This is not what you want! When you register your new automobile, you will be given a copy of the title. If you have paid for the vehicle in cash, you will be given the original. If you financed it, you will be given the title once the vehicle has been paid in full. The title needs to be stored in a safe place. Do not leave it in the glove compartment of your car. If you do not want to carry it with you, place it in a safe at home or in a security box. Read and review the information found in the owner's guide in order to learn everything you can about the features and safety items for your vehicle. You need to know how these items work and how to use them correctly. Some of them may be very simple and basic but they could help to save your life! Developing good maintenance habits when you buy a Ford is a smart practice to get into. When maintenance is required on your vehicle, make sure that it gets done. This includes your brakes, battery, tires, oil changes and any other elements that require scheduled maintenance. Doing so will keep your vehicle running smoothly.
