Buying a Car
Don’t get taken for a ride. Know the facts before you buy.
THINKING ABOUT BUYING A NEW OR USED AUTOMOBILE?
There’s a lot more to it than just picking out the model or even the color and the features. Here are a few things to consider when starting the auto buying process.
- Know how much you can afford – Make sure your payment is realistic.
- Rebates and incentives – Are there additional funds for you to use from dealership or manufacturer?
- Vehicle value – Check the Kelly Bluebook or NADA values to make sure the vehicle is worth the purchase price.
- Do your research – Test-drive the vehicle. Check maintenance records, vehicle inspection and CarFax reports.
