5 Things To Do Before Visiting The Car Dealership

Thinking about buying a car? There are many factors to keep in mind when purchasing a new vehicle, including: what the right car is for you, the various financing and insurance options that are available to you, and making sure the car dealership respects your budget and needs. Here is a checklist of things to do before you visit a car dealership:

a. Create a budget
Setting the amount you want to spend shows the car salesperson that you have thought through the process and will provide you with more control to get the deal you deserve. It is also important to understand how much you can afford in monthly payments and how much you will have to pay in interest over the course of the loan.

b. Do your research
With the internet and numerous resources, there’s no need to enter a car dealership uninformed. Parda is partnered with Banzai, which provides an entirely FREE collection called “Getting a Car” with courses, coaches, calculators, and more!

c. Apply for financing
Credit Union financing is usually the smartest bet and will put you at a tremendous advantage before visiting a car dealership. Apply for a car loan and get it pre-approved with Parda beforehand, so that you can shop at the dealership as a cash buyer and/or be able to negotiate.

d. Take your time
Purchasing a new vehicle is a big decision. Don’t feel pressured into making an impulsive decision about buying a car. The car that you buy will effectively be a life partner for the duration of your ownership period. Getting it right or wrong can affect your daily life from the moment you buy it until the day you sell it. So, take all the time you need. Test drive different vehicles, complete as much research as needed, and compare all the pros and cons.

e. Plan your visit
Before visiting the dealership, create a specific plan. Planning in advance can help withstand the high-pressure tactics that some dealerships employ. Choosing the right dealership, getting a loan pre-approved at Parda, having your research done, and more, will help you save the time and the stress that can come with buying a new car.
