Does anyone know if Ford offer Armed Forces Discounts for Veterans?

I am pretty sure you have to be serving for tax free, if abroad, or tax paid UK. Otherwise it is bog standard dealer discounts and spiel.

Ford may not, but if you used google and typed something like "Forces Cars Sales", you would find a list of companies that might fit the scenario.

These are just car brokers, who buy lots of cars in bulk. So you might not get the colour/spec that you wanted, but you may or may not save some £££.

Ford Motor Company (in the UK) does not offer any specific discounts to either serving or veteran armed forces personel.

Afaik, the only discounts Ford Motor Company offer are to their own employees and pensioners (and direct family members thereof). There is also a reduced discount scheme where such employees can extend such offer to other friends and distant family members.

You may be able to find specific dealerships that offer their own discount to armed forces personel. They will probably be located close to armed forces sites. If you are a member of any veteran association, they should be able to advise you of any deals they have with dealers offering specific discounts.

I work for one of the broker companies that one of the previous posts mentions, we do not buy cars in bulk, we have a specific scheme that offers discount to the military, based in the UK and overseas and also retired personnel. We do have stock that customers can buy, but we also order cars to be built for that customer. We offer Ford as well as a full range of other makes and models. Forces Cars Direct is the company and we also offer lease deals. If you visit our website you'll see lots of our deals there.

Yep - Ford do this, as do Vauxhall. I think most other manufacturers farm it out to third party companies but probably not appropriate to name one without naming all of them.

This is for serving members of the forces only.
