Before starting your vehicle search, decide on your budget.  Look at your expenses and figure out how much you can comfortably pay per month for a vehicle.  It is important to take care of this step before starting to look at vehicles, so you keep your search confined to vehicles in that price range.  It is disappointing to fall in love with a more expensive vehicle and realize the payment is more than comfortably fits in your budget.  You might decide at this point to secure pre-approved financing in that amount, if needed.  Our finance department at Big Mike Naughton Ford is eager and able to help you with finding the best rates and terms for your auto loan.  Remember to consider the cost of auto insurance for your vehicle purchase.  Some vehicles are far pricier to insure so always check with your insurance agency regarding a specific make / model.

Analyze your specific needs to choose the correct type of vehicle.  If you drive a lot and are concerned with fuel efficiency, you will want to pay close attention to fuel economy estimates.  Have a family with lots of gear to haul to summer camping trips or weekend sporting events?  You will want to acquire a vehicle that easily accommodates this need.  A vehicle is only a good deal if it actually fills the needs you have.

Do some research on vehicle reliability to ensure you are looking at dependable models.  Even within one brand, some models might be more dependable than others.  Spend some time doing some research so you feel comfortable with the model you choose.  When you decide on a specific vehicle, request the vehicle history report so you can see its specific history.  We would be happy to show you the CarFax for any of our gently pre-owned vehicles.

Take a test drive of the vehicle to confirm it is the right car for you.  Test out the features on the vehicle to ensure they work properly, and you are completely thrilled with how effective they are.  This is also an excellent opportunity to test the vehicle’s performance and power.   While working with our knowledgeable sales staff, make sure to ask plenty of questions to clarify details that might be especially important about the vehicle.
