Many people who come to our dealership from Yorkville and the surrounding areas want to finance their vehicle. There are a variety of different advantages, including:
A possible con of buying is the fact that — at least initially — buying is more expensive than leasing. When you buy, you’re paying the full cost of the vehicle, and you’ll want to make a large down payment to reduce your loan balance as much as possible. Leasing works differently and involves lower monthly payments.
The other option is to lease a vehicle. With this option, you borrow the car for a period of time and have the option to purchase it or return it when the lease term is up. There are also a variety of different advantages to leasing as well:
What are the possible cons of leasing? Car leases can be restrictive in terms of mileage. If you don’t like the idea of mileage caps, a lease might not be for you. You don’t technically own the vehicle when you lease; you’re essentially paying to borrow it. After your lease ends, however, you can purchase the vehicle if you choose.
There’s no right or wrong answer — the choice is yours. Our finance team can help you decide which makes the most sense for you. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact us online or call us at 888-994-1003. You can also start the process of buying or leasing a car by getting pre-approved online!

This is the third vehicle I purchased from Riverview and they have not let me down yet. Craig found the vehicle that met my requirements and the entire process was as promised.
Craig was great. He found the exact car I wanted even though it wasn't an easy task. He was helpful and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with River View Ford. When I met with Joe to pick up the car and complete the paperwork, it was painless. He did an excellent job explaining all the paperwork and then everything in the car. I will highly recommend River View and Craig to anyone I know who is car shopping . Thank you for making what could have been a very stressful situation into a pleasurable one.
Overall a wonderful experience!! I was matched with this dealership thru Costco Auto and Craig reached out quickly with an Explorer ST that met my needs and a no xx price that was under invoice. He was responsive to my questions and follow up emails. Within a couple days I went to the dealership and greeted by a wonderful salesman Barry and manager Jack. I was test driving the car within 5 minutes. Once I came back from the test drive, the negotiation was straight forward. The emailed price was the price shown. No good cop/bad cop. No extras, no ...
This is my third purchase from River View and I cannot say enough about how friendly and professional the staff is. Craig is a no-nonsense straight shooter. Barry was super helpful and Joe in financing made the process as smooth as can be. I will be a return customer!
I spoke with many other dealers while looking for my vehicle talked to Craig monday evening and again tuesday morning drove almost 2 hours to your dealership tuesday drove my new truck home after a great experience with Aldo , craig and everyone involved wish I had known of this dealer and people sooner ! Hats off to everyone involved I will be back Employees and Dealer that has INTEGRITY!!!
We worked with Craig at River View Ford to purchase our Mach-E through Costco. Very easy process, Craig was great with pricing and finding what I wanted. Purchasing was simple and straightforward. Would highly recommend this dealership.
No high pressure sales, price given was the price paid. Steve the sales manager is very personable, enjoyed the conversation. Very pleasant experience.
We drove 220 miles to get the car we wanted and a bit nervous dealing with an unknown dealer to us. We were more than pleased with this dealership. We worked with Craig and John. Both were great. Love dealing with a smaller local dealer. Would recommend this no nonsense dealer to anyone.
Awesome experince with Craig. Start with the phone and get everything done soomthly in one day.
It was a awesome experience this dealer went out of way to help me even to have a fresh start building my credit .Thank you so much it meant alot u gave me my dream car.
Just want to say thanks to the River View Ford Dealership in Oswego for selling my new escape PHEV. And showing me all the features and how they work. A number one, top notch dealership for miles around.
Craig and Abe were very accommodating when it came to purchasing my 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Traveling from Ohio, I was spectacle of traveling that far to purchase a vehicle seeing that just 3 weeks earlier I traveled two hours to another dealership after being assured the vehicle I was going to look at was "clean." That was not the case. Upon speaking with Craig online he assured me the trip would be worth it due to the condition on the vehicle. We worked out a trade-in price for my vehicle and I took the chance. I was not disappointed!!! The ...
We were able to come to an agreement over the phone so when we got to the dealership, there was no haggling, just handshake and sign. Craig and Abe were great.
Superior service and vehicle advice. Cory the sales representative was a gem. I highly recommend him and the business.
Starting remotely with Craig and then with Aldo and Abraham on-site in Oswego, all were friendly, efficient and not the stereotypical high pressure car sales team, After some negotiation, we made a deal work for everyone on a Maverick which is a very popular model. The dealership is at least a 45 minute drive from my home and nonetheless it was worth the trip!
I recently purchased a 2024 Ford Escape from this dealer. Thank you to Craig, Patty and all the staff for making this process as seamless as possible!
In today's world of "Buy everything online", Craig, Pattie, and Jack made buying a vehicle in person enjoyable. River View Ford has a great team out there in Oswego.
Pricing was agreed very early in the process and professionalism was unmatched - very pleased. Craig and Steve put the fun back in buying a car and credit did not pressure us for various add ons.
Craig was excellent because he was not afraid to speak with no xx! We agreed on a price before we walked in the door where the rest of the team took it from there. This was by far the best car buying experience and easiest we have ever had! All staff were professional, respectful, and kind! We experienced nothing but a team effort! Way to go River View Ford! We will be back!
Excellent costumer service! John and his team have a family feel dealership. They work hard to ensure you and your family get what you want within your budget.
Worked with Craig Holsman on getting a high in demand Ford Mustang car moved from IOWA, he worked behind the scenes to make the deal happen, with full trust that I would be coming through to purchase it. Purchasing went very smooth working with Aldo, the sales manager and financing. For sure will be coming back to Riverview for any future Fords!
By far the easiest purchase we have ever done with a majority of the credit to Craig Holsman. He was knowledgeable (something we didn’t experience elsewhere) and was straightforward with what he could find for us and what the cost would be. Craig will be at the top of my list for any vehicle needs in the future from Ford.
I ordered my Maverick hybrid from the factory with the help of Craig Holsman. The order was completed online without having to go to the dealership. When the truck arrived, Patti Brown completed the delivery details and even connected my phone for hands free calling.
Easiest car purchase ever. Worked with Craig Holsman and Aldo Utria on a recent purchase of a 2024 Ranger. It was a pleasure working with them from the no hassle upfront pricing to locating and acquiring the model I was looking for. I was referred here through the Costco auto program and I can see why they are a Costco preferred dealer. It was well worth the trip from NW Indiana to make the purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend them. I’ve never felt that way after a vehicle purchase. 5+ stars all around!
My recent purchasing experience was exceptional. Craig Holsman and Steve Mestina are both very knowledgeable professionals whose goal was to assist me in acquiring a Ford truck that would meet are needs. It’s was so refreshing to have a pleasant buying experience that we bought 2 Ford trucks for our farm. This is a dealership that has earned a five star rating.
We recently purchased a 2024 Expedition Max-Platinum and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. This is our 12th vehicle we have purchased from Craig Holsman and the 3rd vehicle from Hennessy Riverview Ford. As usual Craig did a tremendous job. From helping us place the order, keeping us in the loop with our build and when our vehicle arrived Craig helped secure a great price for our trade in. Over the years Craig has gone from our salesperson to becoming a very good friend. Craig wasn’t available when we arrived to finish the process of purchasing our new ...
2024 Maverick XLT Tremor This was the dealing me or my family ever had. We went to one dealer well after other dealers stopped the COVID Supply Chain Markup. For a base Maverick XL they wanted $5000 over sticker. I received River View Ford and Craig Holsman the Internet Sales Manager's information and never looked at another dealer. The process of ordering through delivery was flawless. Craig kept me up to date along the way. The day of delivery we worked with Tom the Sales Manger and he was perfect also. We arrived at the dealer at 6:30 and went through the ...
We had been looking and researching for an f350 for some time. Craig made it so easy for us to get exactly what we wanted. We are repeat customers and have always had a good experience with this dealer.
My purchase was a great experience, everyone at the dealership was so easy to work with, particularly Craig and Steve.
My husband & I had been looking for a Ford Expedition Max for quite awhile. Through our search we met Craig, Internet Sales, from River View Ford. He was very helpful trying all areas to find a vehicle that met our needs even if he had to get it from a different dealership. Craig had great follow through but was not pushy. When we finally were ready to see some cars, Craig had just left on vacation. Still he arranged for us to meet Corey and we bought our vehicle. Corey was a great help the day we bought the ...
I just recently bought a new 2023 Ford Explorer @ River View, my third car I bought here at this dealership. I have all my service done here also. Customer service is #1 at River View. I will only deal with and have service done with this dealership. Jesse is service dept. and Aldo, and Jack in car sales are fair and great to work with.
I bought a car here and it was one of the most painless new-car buying experiences I've ever had.
Great customer service from Craig!! I had an unexpected and stressful purchase to make for to an accident. I inquired about a Bronco online and an hour later had a phone call from Craig. That afternoon I was in my vehicle. Patty was also great when I arrived at the dealer. She knew all the about the Bronco and helped me get set up and learn all the tricks and tips. I came out from Rockford due to the customer service I received on the phone with Craig and will definitely shop here again for any future needs. Thanks again ...
Always a pleasure to shop here. Amazing service. Only dealer we will shop at. Thank you.
Can't say enough good things about the entire experience with RiverView Ford. I was fortunate as I'd only heard of them distantly but was referred directly by Costco. Craig was fully invested from the start, prompt, professional, efficient, and highly knowledgeable. Craig was diligent in finding options and helping me figure out the best fit for my needs. He seemed to work non-stop until finding the best vehicle I could imagine. Aldo was fantastic also, paying close attention to my trade-in, collaborating with manager Jack, and getting me a great trade-in value. Aldo was very knowledgeable and thorough ...
Craig in internet sales was amazing. We was more than willing to reach out to numerous locations in the area to inquire about picking up a vehicle to match exactly what I wanted. Since we couldn't find the perfect match he aided in building a new vehicle direct from the factory and gave multiple options to compare numerous price points
We live an hour away from this dealership but would drive it again. The experience was great all around. Very friendly helpful staff, straight forward process, fair and reasonable prices made this the best car buying experience. Thanks Craig and Pattie and Jeanne!
By far the easiest experience to date. This is my 5th purchase from Craig going back to 2006. Each of the previous experiences has been easy but the fact that Craig was on vacation and still provided exemplary service that far exceeded the other dealers I was working with. Ford should be proud to have Craig on their team. Quite honestly, Craig should teach other sales people on how to treat customers. My drive to the dealership took longer than it did to sign the papers once I arrived at Riverview Ford. If this review will be made public I feel ...
I had a great experience with everyone I dealt with at River View Ford. Craig did a great job of finding trucks to show me. The whole process was very efficient and hassle free. There was no comparison to the other dealers I worked with. I would highly recommend River View Ford!
This is my second time buying a Transit from River View Ford since 2021. Due to factory delays, it took 18 months to get my second Transit. But Craig always kept me updated which made the otherwise frustrating experience much less painful. When the van finally came, it took less than an hour to complete the transaction. If you want a Ford and professional/courteous experience, talk to Craig at River View Ford today.
This was our 4th vehicle we have purchased from Riverview Ford. We left the dealership feeling totally satisfied with our beautiful vehicles. Craig was extremely helpful and professional during the entire process for all 4 vehicles. We will always head back to Riverview Ford and Ask for Craig and Corey when we are in the market again. Thanks to everyone there.
Excellent no hassle deal. Craig was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Great small dealership. Highly recommend.
NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HENNESSY FORD AND IT'S SALES PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY TOM JULIAN!
My experience at River view Ford was superb. Pati, Abraham, and Aldo all did an amazing job taking care of my family. They helped us complete the purchase of our new 2024 Ford Maverick and made it as simple as possible. Thank you for you efficiency and preparedness. We will definitely consider River View Ford for our next purchase!
The dealership is the best. They are friendly, courteous and caring all the way from sales to service!
Craig was great. Due to factory delays it took 14 months to get my Maverick. He was always keeping me up to date. The day I picked up the vehicle, it was very quick and smooth. The rest of the staff I worked with that day were very knowledgeable and helpful. I also had a chance to meet Mr. Hennessy, the owner. What a fine person and great businessman. This was the smoothest purchase I have ever had in the last forty years of purchasing vehicles!
Great people to work with, very fair determining the final price and the entire buying process was handled rather quickly. This is our fourth vehicle purchased from River View Ford.
My experience with this dealership was a very easy process and everything was said up front.
Great process, Craig made buying my car quick and easy. What is normally a long and stressful process was made the the opposite
This dealership was great to work with. Pricing was very fair and transparent. No run around like other dealers. Craig was great to work with over the phone, answered all of my questions quickly, also did a great job making sure some add ons were done quickly and priced matched to what was available online. Would recommend Craig and Riverview to anyone.
I like this dealership they seem fair and honest. My salesman Craig made the process simple and quick.
Ordering through River View Ford was a wonderful experience. No sales gimmicks, just honesty and integrity. Craig was great to work with through out the ordering and waiting and Steve was great at the delivery of my new Ford Maverick. Jeanne was efficient and flexible, easy to work with in the finance department. Would recommend this dealership hands down to anyone in the market for a new vehicle.
River View Ford is a great place to do business. I would recommend them to anyone.
Excellent service. Bought my second truck from Craig. Easy process and the wife is happy with the whole dealership experience! 5 stars!
Excellent experience from first contact on the phone to meeting the salesman. No hassles no pressure. Friendly experience from all staff involved.
A great experience working with Craig (again) - we bought another car from him back in 2014..easy to do business with, friendly people at this dealership, and good service.
Excellent experience! I have purchased 3 new vehicles from other dealerships. All of them put me through the usual process and hassle that takes 3-4hrs of my time. All leaving a bad experience in my mind. I highly RECOMMEND this dealership ! they answered all of my questions with none of runaround B.S. They got me thru the process asap. If you’re looking for a new Ford, this is the place to go.
Great experience with River View Ford, salesperson was super friendly and knowledgeable about the vehicle that I was looking to purchase.
On a recent Saturday, my wife and I had looked at 2023 Bronco Sports at a different dealership. Even though it has been 25 years since our last "New" car purchase, we were not so sure of them. On Sunday I was googling different phrases using Ford Bronco Sport. That led us to River View Ford and surprisingly I was not hesitant to enter a little information for them to contact me. Monday morning I received a call from Craig Holsman. After a little conversation Craig asked me what we wanted in a Bronco Sport. He was actually on his ...
FANTASTIC SERVICE! My daughter's Ford needed repair and we had it in Lafayette, IN. The Ford dealer there would not honor the service contract and tried to charge us for repairs. I contacted Jim R and he was on it FAST! He had the car towed back home at their expense, worked fast to find the parts and even offered to have it delivered at THEIR charge back to my daughter who is in college in IN. Everything was covered under my service contract and I only had to pay the deductible. I own 3 Ford vehicles and will definitely ...
Have now purchased 5 Fords from River View and each time it has been a a very comfortable and rewarding experience. Can't say enough for how fairly you feel treated working with the entire River View sales and management team. I recommend River View to friends and family all the time.
Craig Holsman helped me during my purchase, he did anexcellent job. I am so scared about buying a car but Craig makes it so much easier for me. He finds very good deal for me. Also, he went beyond his excellent customer service. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Craig and team at river view are amazing. Thank you, Craig and team!!
Great people to do business with. Always treated fairly! They make you feel welcome and they appreciate your business!
Abe and Aldo are great people to work with when shopping for a vehicle, to
I have purchased many cars in my life time but just had the best car buying experience, ever. River View Ford is truly a wonderful place to find exactly what you are looking for. Abraham asked questions and listened to my needs and found me the perfect car. Everyone was so friendly and went above and beyond a normal transaction. Anyone looking to car shop REALLY needs to go to River View for the experience alone. I am one, totally satisfied, customer.
River View Ford exceeds my expectations every time! I’ve purchased three vehicles from them over the years, and each time I was treated extremely well and got an incredible deal. They’re truly the best and I won’t purchase a vehicle anywhere else!!!
Have bought our vehicles from River View Ford for years and everything is always perfect!
Craig and team at river view amazing. Craig is a standup gent. I honestly have not met anyone in his line of work that works the way he does. Thank you. A+ rating. Patty and Gary great to work with. Jack great guy and I’ll see you for my 1st clutch.
I shop River View Ford because my dad told me to. He was the smartest man I ever knew.
Patti in sales was the one who helped my daughter and I with her Ford escape yesterday. She treated her very nicely and myself as well. My daughter spent many hours there and Patti made my daughter feel very comfortable, and helped us out with a very nice used vehicle at a very fair price! We couldn’t be more pleased. I can’t thank her enough. Everyone there was so very nice and helpful. The best car buying experience I’ve ever had.
In these times of little or poor customer service, a new customer to Riverview Ford would be blown away with the satisfaction they would receive here. Being a customer for over 30 years I've come to expect it. The "family" at Riverview bends over backwards to make sure you're happy whether you are purchasing or servicing a vehicle. Even though I live in Indiana, I would never consider going anywhere else.
Craig Holsman helped me during my purchase, he did such an amazing job. He went beyond his excellent customer service. Providing the best he can do and help make it an easy experience on the sale. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you Craig!!
Jack was wonderful to deal with! Amazing customer service and amazing people. We buy a lot of cars and this is by FAR the best experience we have had. Cory was a great salesman. Wonderful family friendly dealership.
Everyone was very nice and helpful. The whole experience was fast, easy, and efficient. I would highly recommend them.
Friendly staff, ordered a vehicle and delivered at price promised, great prepwork / detail on new car and very knowledgeable staff. Very fair on trade value.
I was very happy with my experience with River View Ford during my recent purchase of a 2022 Escape SE. My sales person, Ralph, was very friendly, and put me at ease, since I am a widow and this was a really large purchase for me to make on my own. The other staff that worked with me were also very pleasant. Everyone was very knowledgeable and I am looking forward to many years enjoying my new car and knowing I have this dealership supporting me.
River View Ford has been our dealership of choice for many many years. Every single visit, whether it's to purchase a vehicle or simply get an oil change is pleasant and welcoming. Every member of the team is helpful, knowledgeable, and will go above and beyond for you. It's a place you can truly trust and feel confident in and I wouldn't go anywhere else!
The best service at the best price! Great people to work with. I will never go anywhere else to buy a car!
I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a vehicle to visit with this dealership. Good people!
What a great dealer to work with, all the way from the sales team to the finance office. Craig, Rich and Jeanne were great! I would definitely recommend this reputable dealer to anyone. I can see why they were rated so high on DealerRater. They have my sincere thanks.
Very professional. Everyone respected my t I me and availability and very accommodating. Easiest car buying experience ever. Thank you everyone for an overall great buy.
Currie Motors of Valparaiso quoted us a monthly payment more than $850. on 2020 Hybrid Escape. We decided to take the two hour drive to River View Ford. That decision saved us $400. EVERY month!!!
I have bought a lot of cars in my life and this was one of the better experiences. No high pressure sales tactics. They really worked with me on my trade in and the car price to get me to numbers that I was happy with. My salesperson Rich V. was very friendly and got all of my concerns/questions addressed. I will definitely consider them when I am ready to purchase my next vehicle.
I emailed several dealerships looking for pricing on a new Ford Raptor. Craig was quick to respond and immediately shared a great price with me. I stopped by the dealership and he immediately introduced me to Jack, the GM of the dealership who made me a fair offer on my trade. We quickly worked the deal and wrapped up paperwork. My truck was prepped and Corey stepped in to educate me on how everything worked and made sure I had a full tank of gas. From start to finish communication was quick, pricing was fair and customer service was great. ...
Craig Holsman was great to work with. Very honest and knowledgeable. Worked hard to get me everything I wanted and to make sure I had a good experience. I highly recommend Craig!
Friendly knowledgeable staff.. very helpful.. honest and hospitable. Would recommend this dealer to family and friends. This was a great exercise for me , to put me in a safe car.
Craig was honest and knowledgeable. will refer him to my friends who are looking for a car he took all the time needed to answer my questions
This Ford was the only one willing to help me get the car I wanted and getting my payments where I needed them! They took the time to get me all the possible discounts and found my car I wanted with every feature I was looking for. Craig was awesome!
Bought my 3rd vehicle from Craig. In and out in about 2 hours. Best price around, as always. Will continue to deal with them, it was a no hassle experience.
Just bought my 5th car from Riverview Ford. From their receptionist to their cashier, to their salespeople, sales manager, service managers to their porters, everyone is great. Good people. I would highly recommend them.
I can't say enough on how the experience went, it was the best truck purchase I have ever had. I dealt with Craig, we did 95% of the purchase over the phone, I described exactly what I was looking for, when he brought it in from another dealer he called said it was ready. Literally I walked in met Craig for the first time, he showed me the truck I was extremely happy with it. Craig had the paperwork already for me to sign, signed the paperwork and was complete. I think I was maybe there 1 hour if that. I ...
I purchased my first Ford F-150! Craig Holsman was a great resource in helping me through the selection process. He's very knowledgeable about the Ford product and answered all my questions. I never felt pressured to buy. Once I determined that I wanted more than what was available with the current inventory, Craig helped me order my custom 2019 Truck. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the entire process. Jim Rodda, Parts & Service Director was influential in helping me obtain an awesome maintenance plan for the F-150. I know I'll be working with Jim and ...
Easy to schedule, courteous even though they knew mine was a "freebie" recall repair - but they treated me just as important and completed the work on time, called when it was ready and worked with me to arrange a later pickup.
The overall experience at Riverview Ford is outstanding from the sales team manager to service team. They all are very knowledgeable about the products and they can answer all of your questions. The fiancé staff was very professional and provided all the information you needed. Last but not least the owner Mr Hennesy was there too talk with us . Great experience! Would recommend to anyone.
Brought vehicle to River View for routine oil change. Customer service is excellent, quick service, nice facility. Would recommend this location for service and maintenance.
The service team there at River View Ford always lives up to what they said they say they are going to do and the service manager, Jim Rodda, clearly believes that the customer is always right! Although I purchased an F-150 from the dealership, they also service my daughter's 2011 VW Jetta. I recommend the dealership and service team whenever I am asked if I know any reputable dealerships in the area.
