Finding the Right Car
The first step for buying a vehicle is establishing a budget and a price range. Figure out the lowest you can go and the highest you can go and stick to those parameters. The most important question when it comes down to buying a car is how much money can I afford to spend on a vehicle? This determines which vehicles you can look at in your price range.
The next few questions will determine what type of vehicle you are looking for, such as what body style? Am I partial to any specific brands? Which year and model am I looking for? What features are a must have? As you ask yourself these questions we would quite literally just write all this information down so you have it out in front of you in one place to be able to look at and come back to. This is especially important for spouses, and those in a relationship. Coming together to pick the right vehicle can help when you are both literally and figuratively on the same page.
Get Pre-Approved
Here at Idaho Falls Cars and Trucks, we have the benefit of having a pre-approval option. We do our best to work with everyone regardless of their stage in life to be able to get them into the vehicle of their choice. To this end we have a pre-approval option online on our website underneath the finance option. With this tool you can see exactly what credit plan you qualify for and if it is worth it to you with the various criteria that you qualify for. With a variety of plans to choose from you can now come prepared with the loan you want, and the exact vehicle types and features you are looking for to the dealership.
At the Dealership
If you come prepared to the dealership your experience is the best. Bringing in your budget, what you are looking for, and the plan you need makes the rest very easy.
We show you a few cars that fit your criteria, and you as the customer get to choose exactly which vehicle is your favorite, between the features, styling and price. Now if what we said daunts you, the best part is that our inventory is listed online under our used tab and will provide you with a way to filter out the cars you do not want and the cars you do. This way you can come into the dealership and ask for the vehicle you want by name. Either way you do it, a sales associate will be there to help you find the right vehicle and to iron out all the paperwork and other necessary details.
Is Pre-approval Required?
No, it most definitely is not. If you would like to come in here and get everything done in person that is totally fine as well. If you know your credit score fairly well you are able to come in and talk about what finance plans are right for you with our sales associate.
After Signing
Once you have picked out the right car, filled the appropriate paperwork out you are all set to head home in your new vehicle.
