Don Chamlers Ford, your Albuquerque Ford dealer, is already turning 14! Come and help us celebrate the 14th anniversary of Don Chamlers Ford with great savings on our top Ford models!

In celebration of our anniversary, we’re offering our loyal customers special savings on some of their favorite 2010 models.  We are also offering long-term 0% financing on many of our 2010 MY Fords on approved credit.

We are now offering Albuquerque Ford shoppers a great deal on the 2010 Super Duty.  Come in during our anniversary special to receive up to $12,500 off!

Ford’s Super Duty is one of the nation’s top-selling heavy-duty pickup trucks.  The 2010 model has been modified to include features to increase fuel economy but continues to be able to withstand harsh conditions and haul large amounts of weight.  It is available in different engine sizes, so the level of power a truck has depends on its owner’s needs.

For more information on Don Chamlers Ford and the specials the New Mexico dealership is offering during our anniversary, call or visit http://www.donchalmersford.com.

Be sure to stop by the dealership this weekend, though! The celebration can’t last forever and our specials are ending once the party dies down this weekend!

Don Chalmers Ford has a full selection of cars, trucks and SUVs including the new Ford Super Duty Trucks, Ford Edge, Ford Focus, Ford Fusion and more.

With the economy on everyone’s mind, New Mexico Ford Super Duty shoppers should take note of the lower cost of ownership with the 2011 model. Both the new 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbocharged diesel and new 6.2-liter gasoline powertrains will deliver significantly improved fuel economy while also maintaining Super Duty’s best-in-class towing and payload features.

For convenience without added cost, Ford makes adaptive cruise control an available option in the Edge, a very high-tech option not normally seen in cars at this price level. Adaptive cruise control also enables a pre-collision system, which uses the forward-facing radar to determine if a crash is imminent, braking and tightening of seatbelts.

Another great choice for New Mexico Ford shoppers is the Ford Focus, which offers Ford’s well-received SYNC system. Also included in the connectivity package is MyFord, a combination of controls and display screens that operate vehicle features. Also available are a start button, rearview camera, and an automated parallel parking system.

Motor Trend’s 2010 Car of the year is the Ford Fusion.  Powered by a V4 engine that earns 21 MPG city and 29 MPG highway, the Fusion makes good on Ford’s commitment to provide style, practicality and durability in all of their vehicles.

See these, and other great car choices, at Don Chalmers in Rio Rancho during their Memorial Day Sale.

Technology

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)

The available class-exclusive* BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert is yet another new innovation available on the 2010 Ford Taurus. When a vehicle enters the blind spot zone, an indicator light provides a warning in the outside mirror corresponding to the side from which the vehicle is approaching. The Cross Traffic Alert feature uses blind spot monitoring sensors to audibly and visually alert you to impending traffic while slowly backing out of a driveway/parking spot and another vehicle is approaching from either side. BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert is optional on Taurus Limited and SHO models.

The available new voice-activated Navigation System with integrated class-exclusive* SIRIUS Travel Link™** on the 2010 Taurus combines Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with 3-D mapping to provide turn-by-turn voice guidance. But that’s only for starters. System features include: • Current, local gas prices • Traffic backups with alternate routes • Current and forecasted weather • Movie listings, including theater locations, show times and ratings • Scores for major sports teams • DVD movie viewing on navigation screen when the vehicle is in Park • Bird’s-eye map view with six adjustable angle settings • Saves destinations, provides the shortest route, reroutes you if you miss your turn • 10GB digital jukebox with voice-controlled access to music files • Personal photo upload capability
