Car Buying Tips

Finding the Right Vehicle in Boise, ID

Are you nervous about starting your car-buying journey? Maybe you’re still not sure what you want. With these tips from Dennis Dillon Kia, we hope to help take some of the stress out of this process and get you matched up with the car that best fits your life.

5 Car Buying Tips

1. Figure Out Your Budget: You can do this with a loan calculator, but it’s recommended to stay under 15 percent of your monthly take-home pay. This can also determine whether you purchase a new or pre-owned vehicle.
2. Determine the Purpose: Narrow down your choices by figuring out what you need the car for. If you have kids, you might need a larger car with more seats, but if you work outside and haul equipment, you might need a powerful truck.
3. Set Your Standards: If you absolutely cannot live without certain features, write down what those are. Leather seats or cloth, backup camera, whatever it may be, and making sure those are in the criteria should help you narrow down your choices.
4. Take It for a Test Drive: You wouldn’t buy pants without trying them on, so why would you buy a car without test-driving it? You won’t know for sure if the car you’ve picked out is the right fit until you try it out. Make sure you’re comfortable with the feeling before committing to it.
5. Stick to Your Budget: It’s easy to get carried away when faced with so many different models and technology features, so make sure you’re up-front about your budget and stay true to it.
