If you have ever experienced the whole car buying process, you know that it can potentially be full of stress, headaches, and possibly overwhelming options. Where do you begin to sort out the possibilities? In this fun and insightful article, our very own Woody’s Automotive Sales Advisers were asked for their very best tips and advice for buying a car. Let’s take a look at what our expert sales advisers had to say. Do Your Research!
As a collective whole, our entire team agreed that doing your research before heading into the dealership, you can avoid a lot of wasted time and lost effort. It may sound daunting with such a plethora of options online, but by searching for vehicle reviews, vehicle walk-around videos and other vehicle stats, you have a better chance of knowing whether or not to proceed with that interest.
It may sound elementary, however having a realistic grasp on your own financial situationcan and will drastically effect the decisions you make. Before stepping foot on the next dealerships lot, make sure you have fully reviewed your debts and income and know what you are able to afford. Will you be trading in your old vehicle? What is it worth? Will you be placing a down payment down? What length of term are you willing to pay your loan? Don’t forget about the other expenses that play a huge role in purchasing a vehicle. Expenses such as tax and insurance may change and cause further stress if you have not prepared for it.
[Needs Vs. Wants][6]
As difficult as it is sometimes, as adults there inevitably comes a time when we must make the decision of need vs. want. Is it wise to buy a sports car when your growing family needs more room to haul their sports equipment and schoolbooks? Or is a sport utility the best choice for your business, or would a truck better suit your needs? By understanding why you are looking for vehicle can really help narrow the playing field of choices.
