Stick to a budget
There are a few ways to buy a used vehicle. You can pay in cash, or you can take out a loan. If you want to pay in cash, you will have to make fewer decisions as you will pay for the vehicle you can afford. However, you need to remember that there is more to buying a car than simply purchasing a vehicle. You will also have to pay for insurance, registration, and any future repairs. The other option to pay for your vehicle is to take out a loan. Most people go this route to protect their savings from being drained, and it allows them to get a vehicle with more features and options. If you're looking to get a top-trim vehicle, this will probably be your best route. To determine how big a loan you need to take out, you can use a loan calculator. Once you have calculated your loan, it's time to put a down payment on your vehicle. A good rule of thumb is to put down ten percent and then finance it for three years. You should also factor in your total expenses as your vehicle payments shouldn't be more than 20% of your take-home pay.
What kind of vehicle are you looking for?
Before you decide on the best vehicle for you, you're going to want to test drive as many vehicles as possible so you can get a feel for what kind of vehicle suits your needs. We here at Reedman Toll Subaru of Exton are more than happy to accompany you on the test drive so that you can enjoy all of the features and get a feel of what vehicle is best for you. If you have a large family, you might want to consider a large SUV or a sedan. If you're getting a vehicle for your enjoyment, then you may want to get a higher trim with a ton of tech, luxury, and even off-road items. Once you have test driven many vehicles, if you're still having a hard time deciding, you might want to take a day and perhaps test drive some more vehicles. That way you won't regret your decision later. Nobody wants to buy a vehicle and end up unhappy with it later on.
Why get a Subaru?
If you're looking for a great pre-owned vehicle, we highly recommend checking out a Subaru! Subaru vehicles come standard with all-wheel-drive, so you'll be able to tackle the rough terrain easily. Are you looking for a vehicle with a ton of safety systems? Subaru has you covered there too! Most vehicles that Subaru produces come with an Eyesight package that includes several advanced safety systems such a Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear-Cross Path Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Rear Automatic Braking. But wait, that's not all Subaru can offer you! You also get Boxer four-cylinder engines which provide you with terrific fuel economy while also giving you a tremendous amount of power. If you decide on a top-trim pre-owned Subaru, you will get all kinds of advanced tech equipment such as a larger touchscreen and, in later years, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These are just some of the features that a pre-owned Subaru can provide you!
Why buy used from a dealer?
There are several reasons to buy a used vehicle directly from a dealership like us at Reedman Toll Subaru of Exton. The first reason is you have different ways to pay for your vehicle, whether that be through a loan or monthly payments. When you buy from a private dealer, the only option you have will be to pay in cash, and you will generally have to pay for the entire vehicle up front. Second, the vehicle's condition will generally be better if you decide to buy from a dealer. Here at Reedman Toll Subaru of Exton, we offer certified pre-owned vehicles which come with a warranty and have gone through special inspections and repairs. With a private dealer, you are buying the car as-is, and there is a greater chance of getting a lemon. Finally, buying from a dealer is more convenient as we will complete most of the paperwork for you, and we will give you all of the facts about the vehicle upfront so you can be sure that you're getting a good quality vehicle. Private sellers might not be as truthful about their vehicle, and you have to do all of the paperwork yourself.
