MSRP is the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price and is used for comparison purposes only. It does not reflect our selling price. West Hills Ford Price reflects MSRP plus the cost of any dealer-installed accessories on the specific vehicle and represents the price at which the vehicle is offered for sale, available to all customers. Taxes, title, license, and registration fees are not included and must be paid by the purchaser. A negotiable dealer documentary service fee of up to $200 may be added to the sale price or capitalized cost. All transactions are negotiable, including price, trade allowance, interest rate (of which the dealer may retain a portion), term, and documentary service fee. Any conditional offers or incentives displayed, including but not limited to college graduate, first responder, or military programs, are subject to individual eligibility requirements. See offer details for qualifications. All vehicles are one of each and subject to prior sale. All financing is subject to credit approval. Any agreement is subject to execution of contract documents. All offers expire at close of business on the day the subject content is removed from this website. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information on this site, errors may occur. Please verify all pricing and vehicle details with a dealership representative prior to purchase.

With approved credit. Terms may vary. Monthly payments are only estimates derived from the vehicle price with a 72-month term and 20% down payment at prevailing rates. See dealer for details.

Displayed MPG is based on applicable EPA mileage ratings. EPA fuel economy values are good estimates of the fuel economy a typical driver will achieve under average driving conditions and are provided for comparison purposes only.
