Aug 13, 2020

Once you decide to buy a new car, it is only the first step in the process. Car shopping can be an involved and intimidating process for first-time buyers, and even for experienced buyers. With so many factors to consider, there are a few crucial pieces of information that will help you make the most informed decision on the best possible deal.

Know Your Financing Options

Most car buyers turn to some form of financing for their new car. Buying a brand new vehicle solely with cash is uncommon, so having an idea of where you can get the best financing and payment plans for your situation is vital.

Check Your Credit History

Going into a dealership without having a firm idea of where your credit score sits spells trouble for you and your future negotiations. Your credit score directly impacts the types of rates and loans you can get on your new car. Before meeting with any sales associates, we highly recommend reviewing your credit history so you can come in with realistic expectations.

Research Your Trade-In’s Value

If you utilize a trade program for your old car to help fund your new one, knowing how much you will get for the trade-in is critical. Using a resource such as our Kelley Blue Book tool will help determine the value of your used car before stepping foot on the sales floor. Knowing this value will help you establish your budget for your purchase before you begin speaking with a salesperson. The right research can help make your trade-in for a new car in Langhorne, PA, as smooth as possible.

Make an Appointment with the Sales Manager

Calling to make an appointment ahead of time with the sales manager or scheduling through our website shows the dealership that you are confident and serious about making a deal. You give off an air of confidence that the sales team appreciates and places you in a better position to make the best deal you possibly can.

Test Drive, Test Drive, Test Drive!

Before you sign any formal purchase agreement, you need to test drive your prospective new car. Through test driving your new car, you get the chance to get a feel for it handles, how comfortable you are behind the wheel, and any potential problems with the car before you take official ownership of your potential new vehicle.
