It’s that season! No not Spring time, but Tax Season. Tax season is one of the best times to buy a car for many reasons. However, it’s important to do your research when purchasing a car. Don’t worry, Hattiesburg Cars has you covered on what you should do when looking for your new automobile.
Set your budget
- Before you buy anything, it’s best to have a budget, especially when it comes to a car. Your budget will help you decide what car is the most affordable for you and what brand you should focus on. A good rule of thumb is to spend no more than 25 percent of your monthly household income.
Find Financing Options
- Is a used car loan perfect for you? When looking for financing options, it’s recommended to start at dealerships or banks. While doing that, you should compare them to determine the best rates.
Make sure your credit score is high
- Having a high credit score can expedite the buying process. According to Investopedia, lenders look for borrowers in the prime range or better, so you will need a score of 661 or higher to qualify for most conventional car loans.
Practice Negotiating
- Now that you’ve done your homework and you’ve shopped around, it’s time for the best step, negotiating. Buyers should be prepared for some back-and-forth before the car dealer.
Get a Used Vehicle History Report
- When you’ve found the perfect car, it’s very important to get a history report. It’s the #1 rule of thumb when you’re purchasing a used car. With the history report, you’ll learn how many owners the car has had, wrecks, and additional information.
