Creating a Plan: What to Do Before Visiting Us

It’s an exciting time to get behind the wheel of your next ride—but before you start test driving and signing papers, you’ll want to begin with some basic online research—specifically, getting your budget straight. To start, get an idea of what your current ride is worth with our Value Your Trade tool—this step only takes a couple minutes online and helps you judge what your trade-in will earn you.

Next, it’s time to plan for the financing steps—but our payment calculator makes this step easy. Play around with a few values like the down payment, APR, and term length to help find the perfect balance to help fit your next ride into your budget with comfortable monthly payments. If you’re ready, head to our financing application and apply for an auto loan online to help see what type of financing plan you can receive and to assist you in planning which vehicles fit your new budget.

Now for the Fun Part: The Test Drive

After setting your budget and finding a few vehicles that fit within your plan from our used and new inventory, schedule a test drive at our dealership. Keep in mind this step is critical in discovering if you’re commanding the right fit for your needs—so take your time and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Specifically, start by inspecting the exterior and making sure you don’t see any cosmetic defects or leaks that seem like red flags. Next, pop the trunk and double-check that you’ll have enough cargo for your daily drives or adventures.

Now it’s time to take a seat inside (feel free to bring a friend to try out the passenger experience as well). Before heading off, play around with the infotainment, try out different seat settings, and check that you have the comfort and luxury features you want when you hit the road. Now it’s time to start the car up and take a cruise—start off at a parking lot pace and make sure the turn radius and handling work to your needs—then, hit the roads and try out city and highway speeds to see if the vehicle works at the right pace and flow for you. When you’re finished, ask any questions that pop up to help ensure you’re about to make the right investment for you.
