With some preparation and research, you can find the perfect first vehicle to fit your needs and budget. Here are some helpful tips for first-time car buyers:

  • Before visiting dealerships, spend time researching different vehicle makes and models online.
  • Determine how much you can comfortably afford to spend on a vehicle. Remember to factor in additional costs beyond the purchase price
  • Decide whether buying or leasing makes the most sense for your situation. If financing, get pre-approved for an auto loan before visiting dealerships.
  • Before making a final decision, take any vehicle you're seriously considering for a test drive. Pay attention to:
    • Comfort and ergonomics
    • Visibility
    • Acceleration and braking
    • Steering and handling
    • Cargo space and storage
