1. How do I begin researching for my next vehicle?
Before you even look at our website or stop by in person, we want to make sure that you are considering all of the options available to you. This is your opportunity to figure out the kind of fuel efficiency you want, along with how much space you need in the cabin and cargo areas, the technology you want, safety ratings, and more! At Bedford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we want our customers to be as informed and in-the-know as possible. We believe that the more you consider ahead of time, the easier it becomes once you are at the dealership with an idea in mind as to what suits your life the best. We can't make that decision for you, so we always recommend that our customers have researched the best options. However, if you have any questions about the cars on our lot and how they fit into your plans, we can absolutely assist with that.
2. Learn more about your credit score!
Now that you have done some research about the car that makes the most sense for you, the research isn't over just yet! This is your opportunity to really dig deep into your finances, and not only figure out what makes the most sense for you in terms of monthly payments, but to learn more about your credit score itself. Your credit score is the signal that lenders have as to the kind of loans you will have available. Should you have a lower score for some reason, that is something that you may want to consider in investing in before you make your next purchase. You will be able to find your credit score for free from places like TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. Once you have that number and the details as to how that number is where it is, you can go from there!
- TransUnion
- Experian
- Equifax
3. Choose between buying and leasing at Bedford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
You know the car you want, and you know your credit score. Now what? The next step in making this a great car-buying experience is to figure out if you are interested in buying or leasing your next vehicle. Both options are completely valid, and we fully support whatever you decide. This is just something that we know will make the process go smoother once it has been decided upon!
- Buying a car: When you buy a car, you have complete control over the rest of your car's life. You can make any changes you want to it, drive it for as long as you want without any stipulations, and once you're ready, you can even sell it when you're ready to move on. This could be a great investment, or just a way to make sure that you can continue driving around in your favorite vehicle for years to come without having to return it.
- Leasing a car: What about leasing? Well, leasing is great if you have noticed that your budget is better suited to lower monthly payments. That's because the payments you make go to the depreciation of the vehicle, not the total value. We also recommend leasing for anyone who tends to drive an average amount per year and who wants to keep up with the latest and greatest vehicles every time their lease terms are up. You'll also always be driving a car that is under warranty!
4. Take the car out for a test drive near Bedford Hills
One thing we tell all of our customers, no matter what, is to take the car they are eyeing out for a test drive. This is the best way you can really figure out if a car is right for you or not, and it will be able to provide you with answers that maybe you didn't realize you were asking the questions about. Some of the biggest tips we have when test driving a car include:
- Wait until it's bad weather to test drive, that way you can test more about the grip, maneuverability, and overall feel of the car, even in poor weather conditions
- Play around with all of the controls and buttons, and even customize them if you want to!
- Push the engine on the highway
- View all of the mirrors and test the cameras to see the blind spots
- Bring your family along to see how they fit inside
5. Make your final decision with our sales team at your side
