Questions to Ask When Buying a Car
Are you thinking about buying a new car for the first time? This is an exciting and stressful time in your life because you don't want to purchase the wrong car. Because of this, Carlton Motorcars Inc. has compiled a list of questions to ask yourself and the salesperson before making this big decision. Below you will find several questions that you need to take into consideration before you purchase your dream car.
Why do I need the car?
Before you decide what kind of car you want, it is important to ask yourself why you need it. If you have a big family and would like to start going on family vacations with it, than maybe a SUV is the way to go. Or maybe you are starting a new job and need it for commuting purposes. Whatever your reason may be, make sure you know what you want before taking a step on a lot.
What are my must-haves?
Because buying a new vehicle is such a big decision, it is important to know what you must have in a car before you buy it. Maybe you are a person that likes to listen to music so a good stereo system is of importance. Or maybe you want to have the latest and greatest safety features.
How much can I afford?
Quite possibly the most important question to ask yourself, you need to know what your budget is. By determining a budget, you will be able to pick out a vehicle for efficiently. Set your budget and be realistic. Also make sure to ask if there are any incentives on the vehicle. This simple question can actually help you save a lot of money.
May I see a copy of the car's history report?
If buying a used vehicle is more your speed, make sure to always ask to see the car's accident history. Ideally, the dealer will provide you with both the CARFAX report and an AutoCheck report so that you will know about an issue that the car may have.
