Wondering what you should do before going to the car dealership to buy a new car?

Don’t fret because we have a few tips on a few things to do before you go to the car dealership! By doing these things, you’ll make the car buying experience that much easier.

1. Know What You Want

Have you ever heard the saying, “Don’t go to the grocery store hungry because you’ll want everything there…?” The same holds true when buying a car. It’s best to go into the car buying experience and the dealership with an inkling of what you’re after. Do some research on a few models that you want before you head to your local Shottenkirk Automotive Group dealership.

2. Find The Value That Suits Your Needs

When you’re doing your research, make sure that the car brand and model suit your personal needs. You want to ensure that whatever vehicle yo get will bet suit your requirements and wishes. If the vehicle won’t accommodate your family, tech needs or if it goes above your budget, it’s the wrong vehicle to choose.

3. Know Your Monthly Budget

You want to make sure that you know how much you can afford on a car monthly. Don’t do this at the dealership and instead walk in knowing what you can afford.

4. Do Your Homework On Financing

Sure, you can simply get financed at the dealership, but it’s not a bad idea to know your financing options. This will allow you to really get a good deal with your own bank, credit union or dealership.

5. Don’t Forget About The Price Of Insurance

The type of vehicle you get will impact the price of insurance on it. Knowing this before hand will help you budget for your new car and can lead you to the right trim and model for your budget.
