Here at Santa Monica Ford we know just how time consuming thinking about buying a new Ford vehicle can be. With so many different styles, trim levels and features, the hours of research can really pile up. If there is one thing we think most drivers overlook, it would have to be cost of ownership. Luckily, our fans in the greater Los Angeles area will be able to narrow done their choices as two of our vehicles were recently applauded by Kelley Blue Book for having a low coast of ownership.

Here at Santa Monica Ford we have always known that we provide some of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road. While providing drivers in the greater Los Angeles area with eco-friendly options is important, safety is still one of our top priorities. Recently our Ford Focus Electric was applauded for being extremely safe. We're proud to be able to offer drivers a very safe and fuel-efficient option.

Everyone here at Santa Monica Ford takes pride in the saying, "Made in America". We love that our brand is committed to the American workforce and providing safe vehicles to our communities. Recently, Ford officials announced that they planned on investing $6.2 billion into its American production plants.

Now that we are well into 2013 automakers and independent firms can begin to compile statistics and look at the sales figures from the previous year. Here at Santa Monica Ford, we're sure our fans and enthusiasts won't find it surprising that our Ford F-150 topped the sales charts last year. We know our fans in Santa Monica and Van Nuys love our favorite pickup truck and it would seem the rest of the country does as well.

What are the most important things in life? This question has many different answers and there is no right or wrong answer. However, we feel that most people would answer friends and family. This may not be the first thing people think about when considering a new car but keeping loved ones safe is very important. Here, at Santa Monica Ford we are proud to be able to provide extremely safe new Ford vehicles to the Los Angeles and Van Nuys communities.
