How To Prepare To Buy Your Next New Car

Owning a new car can be exciting, but buying a new car can be a real pain. Many people feel intimidated by the seemingly endless options, not only for which model to buy but also for whom to buy from and how to get the best deal. For today’s car shopper, doing some online research ahead of time can save a ton of money, time, and stress. Here’s how:

Know What You Want

Spend some time thinking about the specific features you think are important in a new car. It can be easy to say you want a car that’s comfortable, but what comfort features are most important to you—heated seats, multi-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof? What about performance? Do you want a vehicle that’s fast or one that saves money at the pump? Consider writing out a list of the most important items you want in your new ride, ordering them from most to least important. This will make it a little easier to sort through the many options available.

Know What You Can Afford

You may want to avoid this next part, but it’s incredibly important to understand what you can reasonably afford. Not only that, by researching your financing options, you will have more confidence when it comes time to negotiate a final price, and you may even save yourself hundreds or thousands of dollars.

First, you should know your own financial comfort level. How much cash do you have available for a down payment or deposit? How much can you comfortably afford to pay each month (don’t forget extras like auto insurance)? You should also take a few minutes to check your own credit score using one of the many free online services, like Credit Karma or your own banking institution.

Once you know what you can bring to the negotiating table, it’s time to start exploring your options. Once again, the convenience of the internet offers plenty of ways to save time before you head out to the dealership. The MotorWorld | MileOne Autogroup website lists our many incredible lease deals with low monthly payments. On the other hand, if you’re looking to buy, we make applying for credit super easy with our in-house team of financial experts.

Know The Value of Your Car

In many cases, purchasing or leasing a new vehicle means saying goodbye to an old one. It may be emotional to let go of past memories of road trips and late-night pizza runs, but it can also help you lower the price of your new ride. Depending on what kind of model you have, you could shave off thousands of dollars by trading in. Kelley Blue Book makes it easy to look up your used vehicle online at KBB.com.
