Walkaway coverage
How it works.
1 You buy a car from Yorkdale Ford Lincoln.
You get one year of COMPLIMENTARY WALKAWAY coverage… PLUS… We will also upgrade your coverage to BASIC WALKAWAY for the full term and give you options to extend your coverage for even more benefits.
2 Something unexpected happens.
You get sick, have an accident, become unemployed or experience another life-changing event and can no longer make your loan or lease payments on your car.
3 You return your car without penalty.
Depending on your coverage†, you can: Return your car without penalty or damaging your credit rating. Keep your car while WALKAWAY covers your payments.
†Coverage ranges from $7,500 to $25,000.
Why you need it.
Unless you have a substantial down payment or equivalent valued trade-in, your car loan or lease is always greater than the value of your vehicle throughout most of your term. This can leave you vulnerable should you hit an unexpected rough patch and no longer be able to make your payments.
WALKAWAY covers the difference between your car’s value and what you owe the financial institution – up to $25,000. It lets you ‘walk away’ without any impact to your savings or credit rating.
Return the vehicle and WALKAWAY pays the difference.

Finances
Let’s say you hit an unforeseen rough patch and can no longer make payments on your car. WALKAWAY products cover the difference between the value of your car and what you owe the financial institution, up to $25,000, and let’s you return it.
Credit rating
Your credit rating is unaffected by WALKAWAY because it’s considered an early buy-out by your financial institution.
Car
Some WALKAWAY products include payment relief options. Payments can be made on your behalf for up to twelve months. When your payments are exhausted, you can still return your car if your condition persists. Your dealer may also suggest an alternate vehicle option to you.
