8 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying a New Car from NutleyKia

1. How do I narrow down my list? Think about your lifestyle. When purchasing a car everything matters: number of seats or doors, size performance, safety features, etc.
2. What kind of shopper are you? If you’re a value shopper, you want a good price, but are willing to pay for quality. If you’re a image shopper, you want your vehicle to reflect who you are. If your a methodical shopper, you cover every aspect of your car search to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase. If you’re a safety-conscious shopper, you want a reliable & safe car for your family.
3. What can I afford? You need to determine some financial considerations when buying a car: what is my current car worth, how much of a down-payment can I afford and what’s a reasonable amount of monthly payments?
4. Did I do my research online? You can find valuable information online from owner’s opinions to expert interviews. Here’s some aspects to consider when searching online: safety, quality, opinions from credible sources, side-by-side comparisons.
5. Is the price right? With the internet’s help, online communities provide fast and free information regarding new car pricing. Determine the invoice price before going to a dealer to help determine the lowest level a dealer can go while still making a profit.
6. Am I aware of my best options for financing, warranties & insurance? FINANCING: It’s always smart to shop the lowest-interest car loan before purchasing. WARRANTIES: An extended service contract, backed by an auto manufacturer, is the safest idea. INSURANCE: Check rates with your insurance company before you buy.
7. Should I trade or sell my current car? TRADING: After deciding on a price, all you have to do is sign your vehicle over, but most likely for less money than you bought it for. SELLING: You can sell your car for more money, but this process is much longer. Be sure to use good instincts and put everything in writing.
8. Have you gotten the most out of your test drive? Get up close and personal with your potential new car. Test your car not only on side streets, but on highways too. Can you feel any unusual vibrations? Can you hear any strange noises? How does the acceleration/brakes feel?

CONGRATULATIONS! After you’ve gone through this detailed list & completed all your paperwork, you’ve become an owner of a brand-new vehicle. ENJOY!
