Step One: The Prep Work

Next to owning a home, purchasing a car, truck, or SUV is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in life. With so many options to explore, it’s a smart idea to take a few minutes and answer the following questions:

What’s My Monthly Budget?

It seems obvious to many but setting a price range is a simple way to set yourself up for long-term success. Think about it—the typical auto loan for a used car is three to five years. That’s why it’s important to find a payment plan you can be comfortable paying over an extended period of time.

Do you already have your eye on a specific used model? Fantastic! Use our handy payment calculator to see how it potentially fits your finances.

What Are Your Needs vs Your Wants?

Almost everyone daydreams about hitting the streets inside a luxury sedan with a powerful V6 engine and premium leather seating. Now, imagine the backseat of that sedan covered in your kid’s afternoon snack.

Your next used car should complement and enhance your lifestyle. While we always encourage you to dream big, you might also want to ask yourself a few questions, like:

• How long is my daily commute?
• What’s the parking situation like at my house?
• Do I expect my family to grow in the next few years?
• How often do I need to transport bulky items?
• Do I need this vehicle for my job?
