To get the biggest value when you buy a car you may want to consider getting a pre-owned car. The first owner has already dealt with the fact of new car depreciation, allowing the next buyer to pay less than when it was new. Buying a used vehicle frequently allows buyers to get a higher trim of the vehicle they desire. However, there might be some uncertainty when purchasing a pre-owned car. Pre-owned vehicles might have repairs coming, scheduled maintenance intervals may be due, and it might not have any manufacturer warranty left. Additionally, loan rates generally are lower on new car purchases. In this way, it’s important to have a plan before making your next purchase to figure out the vehicle you need, the amount you can afford, and to figure out a trustworthy dealer to make your next purchase from.
Figure out what car you need, so that you can narrow the search. If you have a family you might want an SUV or minivan, if you’re single, then maybe you pick the sports car. Determining what you want is just the first step, now you have to find that car for sale, without a lot of miles, and in good shape. It’s not as easy as buying new, but with our vast selection of used vehicles we’ll have what you want.
For most of us, what we want takes a back seat to what our finances allow. To make sure you can get the most vehicle for your money, figure out what you can afford before you start looking at cars. How much are you willing to use for a down payment? Use an auto loan calculator and run some calculations to find your sweet spot of a payment. Even better, before you come test drive the car you want, get pre-approved for financing. You’ll already know the payment cost and it should save you time.
Even if you find a great price on the vehicle you want, it does NOT mean it’s the right deal. Independent dealers might not have the equipment to service all used cars. Shop at a dealer that has been around for a while and won’t vanish when there’s issues. Go over recent customer reviews and learn how concerns are taken care of and if other shoppers endorse the dealership. Shop for your vehicle with confidence by buying from a reliable dealership.
Do NOT miss the opportunity to trade in your vehicle. Your current car might be worth some cash and might even have enough value to give you a down payment. Your trade-in AND a down payment combined will get buyers an even better deal. We will take a trade-in on almost any car, even if it has negative equity.
