HOW TO BUY A NEW CAR

There's no better feeling than turning heads on Kansas City roads behind the wheel of a brand new Chevrolet, GMC vehicle. However, the vehicle purchasing process can be extremely stressful. Is this your first time shopping for a new car, truck, or SUV? Are you frustrated with the service at local Saint Joseph dealerships?

We here at Randy Curnow Chevrolet GMC understand that there can be a lot of pitfalls during your car search. However, we have plenty of tips on how and when to buy a new car. Find out everything you need to know with the experts at our Cameron Finance Center below!

When to Buy a New Car

Investing in a new Chevrolet, GMC car, truck, or van can be an expensive decision. That's why you'll want to know whether it's the right time to buy a new car or not. We've broken down a few of the most common indicators that it's time to sign on the dotted line:

  1. You constantly find yourself paying for expensive repairs, impacting both your wallet and your time. At some point, you'll be paying more for repairs in a year than you would for a new car.
  2. You've felt unsafe driving your car. Need we say more? The last thing you want is to get in an accident, so if you've ever questioned your car's safety, it's time to say farewell.
  3. Perhaps you were a bachelor/bachelorette when you first bought your car, but now you find yourself married with a baby on the way! You may want to consider upgrading to a Chevy Trax or Equinox.
  4. Is your car failing emissions tests? Getting it up to snuff can be costly, and opting for a newer model may save you money in the long run.

How to Finance a New Car

Have a better understanding of when the right time is to buy a new vehicle? Then you're probably eager to know how to buy a new car in the Liberty area. You'll want to closely examine your budget, factoring in the starting MSRP as well as your other debts. Your car payment should never put your monthly debts (rent, student loans, credit cards, etc.) over a third of your monthly income. You'll also want to keep the following additional costs in consideration before you make your purchase:

  • Trade-in Value: If you currently own a car, you can trade it in for the new one you want. While most dealers will purchase the car from you and apply that amount to your new car, if you still owe money on your current vehicle, the dealership will tack that remaining cost onto the new vehicle price. Our online value your-trade tool can give you an instant appraisal of your current vehicle.
  • Interest Rate: Your car's interest rate will also impact your monthly payments. If your rate is lower, then your monthly payment will be lowered. However, it's important to note that you only receive a lower interest rate if you qualify, and not all drivers qualify based on their credit score.
  • New Car Sales Tax: This tax is non-negotiable and is typically added to your car loan amount.
