4 Tips Before You Buy A Car

Buying a car can be very frustrating, but needs to be planned properly. Here are some quick tips before you make your purchase.

new vs used car

1. Know your budget

Right now is the best time to buy a 2018 vehicle because the new 2019 cars are coming out. Once you set your down payment and monthly payments. Next…

2. What do you want the car to do for you?

Is it for work, vacation, take the family around, etc…
How many seats do you need? How many miles are you going to drive every month?

3. Know your credit score.

Do not be surprised when you walk in. Obviously, the better the credit score, the better off you are.

4. Compare multiple cars.

Do you need great gas mileage? The Ford Fusion is an excellent choice. If you need a van, there are multiple vans to choose from. Do your homework on Toyota Land Cruiser, Chevy Tahoe, and Dodge Caravan.
If you’re going to buy a Caravan, make sure it does NOT have a Fiat engine.

Now that you know those things, start to shop around online. There are websites where you can compare cars such as the Chevy Tahoe vs the Toyota Land Cruiser. Typically the Land Cruiser is $10,000 – $15,000 more. So, save the $10,000 – $15,000 for repairs as needed. If you’re thinking of buying a 2-year-old car, you’re better off buying a new one.

Test Drive

Rent the car you’d like to buy and take it on a long trip to Santa Barbara or Palm Springs. Drive it there and have your significant other drives back. Make sure the seats are comfortable, you don’t have any blind spots, etc.
The more bells and whistles you add on, the more expensive it’s going to be in the long run. Do you really need the navigation? On some vehicles, it can be an additional $4,000. Buy yourself a smartphone, best navigation in the world.

Now you’ve done your homework, you know your credit score, budget, and test drove the car. Now its time to buy the car. Go to 3-4 dealerships to find the best deal. Do Not let them drag you inside. have a credit application ready to hand them. Tell them how much you are willing to put down. Also, it is important to get a 10 year/ 100,000 mile extended warranty that anyone can work on with a $100 deductible. In addition, how many years you want to make payments for. Lastly, negotiate low monthly payments.

New vs. Used Car Huntington Beach

I hear a lot of people tell me they want to purchase a used car that is 1-2 years old. If you buy a used car with 30,000 – 40,000 miles, replacing all the fluids can cost you up to $1,000 if you change all of them. Not including replacing tires plus missing the 3year/ 36,000-mile warranty. If you buy a used car that’s 2 years old, then you might be paying the same amount money as a new car. If you buy a new car at the right time, plan your purchase, and do your homework you should be just fine. You must ask questions like, why is that person selling a car that is 2 years old? Does it have any hidden problems?

Used car franciscos automotive huntington beachWhen you purchase a new car, you don’t spend any money on repairs on the 1st 3 years or 36,000 miles. What is that worth? It can save you $500 to thousands of dollars on some models. Not to mention peace of mind. Why would I lead you to get a new car when a used car would bring me more business? My business does fine and I do not want a headache that comes with someone dumping a problem car into my shop.

Write it down on paper, the price of the new car and the price of a used one, and what it will cost you over the next 3 Years. Connect with me on Facebook, Linkedin, or Instagram and let’s work on your purchase together!

Looking into buying a car?

 

     When you’re buying a car, you have to plan the purchase of the automobile. I know people that got up in the morning intending to buy a car and later that evening they come back with a car. Most of us spend more time purchasing a pair of shoes than we do buying a car. We spend 1 or 2 days trying on the pair of shoes, making sure they fit correctly, etc.

     The first thing you want to do is write down on paper what you want the car to do for you? Is it to take your family on vacation? To take you back and forth to work? Both? How much do you drive? How much do you spend on gas on a monthly basis? If you are buying a car for your kids, what is important, safety or gas mileage? I know some people that buy their kids a smaller car because of better gas mileage. Put your kids in the biggest car you can buy! All my kids drove tanks ( Jeep Suburban). Unfortunately, a couple of my kids were in accidents, but thankfully they survived because they were driving tanks.

     Once again, write down what you want the car to do for you and ALWAYS have an exit strategy. How long do you plan on keeping the car: 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? Next, write down if you plan on buying a new or used vehicle and what your budget is. If you plan on buying a used car that is 2-3 years old, I can prove to you that buying a new car is cheaper, in the long run, most of the time. If you are thinking of buying a used car that’s $2,000 – $3,000 then you are buying someone else’s problems. A nice used car will cost around $10,000. Now, I’m going to follow up with a series of blogs that will show you step by step on how to buy a used car, but if you have any questions please contact me via Facebook, email, or call me at (714) 375-2661.

Keeping Cool this Summer

 

Summertime is here and it’s getting hot. Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach might only be 90-degrees, but it seems like 100 degrees for us. Irvine, Westminster, Garden Grove, and some of the inner cities can get to 100 -110 degrees. If you go to the desert, it can get up to 120 degrees. Around here, your air conditioning might seem ok, on a hot day it might not seem that bad.
