Mitsubishi’s commitment to motor sport has driven them to produce some exciting models over the years. One such model is the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant. Although it may seem like your typical midsize sedan, the Galant features much of the technology that has trickled down from Mitsubishi’s rally racing efforts including the MIVEC variable valve timing system, which allows for better fuel economy and more power, and the sport suspension found on the Galant Ralliart.

The Galant also showcases one of Mitsubishi’s most unique exterior designs. All of these attributes add up to a sporty and stylish character that’s unmistakable in a sea of nearly identical sedans. But being sporty and stylish isn’t the only thing this car has going for it. JD Power and Associates ranked the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant as one of the highest in initial quality in its class. Now, you can reap the rewards of Mitsubishi’s hard work and pick up a Galant with 0% APR financing for 60 months or get an unbelievable rebate.

Even the newest vehicles out aren’t immune to incredible financing and incentives that are currently available.  A few short months ago, Ford released the 2009 Flex, a crossover that offers a more practical solution to shoppers who want a fuel-efficient SUV that drives like a car, but who don’t want to sacrifice style and individuality. 

The Flex features a solid 262-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. The best part of all is that the Flex boasts some rather impressive numbers for fuel economy. The front-wheel drive Flex achieves 17/24 mpg while the all-wheel drive models are slightly lower at 16/22 mpg. Even with all of these great features, the Flex’s real value lies in the sense of individuality that comes with owning one of these truly unique and multi-purpose vehicles. Just knowing that you took a stand against mediocrity and refused to conform to an otherwise dull and unfulfilling driving experience can make your daily commute infinitely more enjoyable.

And to make that much more enjoyable, Ford is offering 0.9% APR for up to 36 months on the 2009 Flex.  Or, if you don’t need the financing, they are offering $2500 Customer Cash back on cash purchases.  But if you’re in the market for Ford Flex, you don’t have much time.  This deal expires November 3rd, 2008. 

Could it be?  We did a double take when we saw this deal. Not only can you get a big chunk of cash knocked off the already affordable price of the 2008 Ford Edge, but you can also get financing with 0% interest for up to 60 months. You don’t need us to tell you that this is a great deal, but we will any way: this is a great deal. With a 265-horsepower V6, attractive styling and ample storage space, the 2008 Ford Edge makes a strong case for itself as a practical alternative to a full size SUV, without the exorbitant fuel costs associated with owning one.   So, if you’re in the market for a crossover and you wouldn’t mind saving a lot of your hard-earned money, this deal might be worth your attention.

Yes, you can still get an auto loan.

The recent media scrutiny hovering around today’s economy had us scratching our collective heads here at CarsDirect.  Frozen credit lines were to blame for the eight days of carnage on Wall Street, and would eventually trickle down to Main Street.  Or so they said. 

The truth of the matter is that this is merely an opinion, and not a fact.  Credit lines are not frozen.  In fact, we at CarsDirect want to inform shoppers that auto loans are still being offered, and are VERY much available.  Granted, some shoppers will find it more difficult than others when applying for an auto loan, but the majority of car shoppers WILL get approved, and the deals offered now are the best that we’ve seen in years.

Now, restrictions and higher rates will apply to those with poor to very poor credit.  So if you work part time while in college and have $10,000 in credit card debt, that 2009 Porsche 911 GT3 purchase might be a bit of a stretch.  But deals can still be found on other vehicles.  Every major automaker is offering some sort of auto financing to accommodate potential buyers.  This is a fact. 

Banks are still offering the following to prospective car buyers:

• 90 Days to First Payment Available
  You read right.  This basically means that if you were to receive an auto loan on a new vehicle, the very first payment would be due on the 91st day of the purchase date.  So if you were to purchase a 2009 Audi A4 on November 3rd, with a monthly payment of $499, that first $499 payment would be due February 1st, 2009.  This is still being offered by banks.
• Banks Are Still Offering $0 Down and 100% Financing
  Banks in general are offering zero money down and allowing prospective car buyers who qualify to finance 100% of the cost of a vehicle.  Banks are still approving these loans.  However, it’s important to note that you need to have better credit than before in order to qualify for $0 down 100% financing.
• Bank Still Willing to Finance Over 100%
  Banks will still lend you money for a new car if you happen to be in negative equity.  These loans have not disappeared from the marketplace, and do still exist.  Check with your local bank.  Remember it doesn’t hurt to ask, but it hurts not to know.
• 72-84 Month Financing Still Available
  Long term auto loans are still available to those who qualify, which is the majority of consumers.  Just note that interest rates for these long-term auto loans to happen to be higher.  However, they are still available and have not been put on the shelf.

In summary, it’s important to know the facts of what’s going on and not be swayed by what you might see or hear, especially when what you are seeing or hearing is merely a fabricated opinion and not fact.  Auto loans are still available, and the lines of credit that were open yesterday are open today, and will be open in the future as well.

It has never been cheaper to acquire a loan on one of Ford’s newest offerings, the 28-mpg highway-rated 2009 Ford Escape.  If you act soon, you can get 0% APR for up to 36 months on the Ford Escape or cash back.  To find out exactly how much cash back you’ll be eligible to receive, click on the link at the bottom of the page and type in your zip code. It’s as simple as that.

The 2009 Ford Escape poses as an SUV, but actually happens to be a full two inches shorter than a Ford Focus sedan.  Interestingly, it boasts almost the same interior room as a Ford Explorer, while achieving excellent fuel economy (22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway).  Add this to the fact that the Escape also comes standard with a slick-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more well-equipped SUV at this price point.  But the deal won’t last forever, so if you’re in the market for a smaller SUV and want 0% APR, the 2009 Ford Escape should definitely make your short list.
