First Time Buyer FAQs
Got questions? We have answers. Here are a few things our first-time buyers ask us the most.
How do I budget for my first car?
Start by looking at your monthly income and your regular bills. A good rule is to spend no more than 15% of your take-home pay on your car payment. Remember to leave a little extra room in your budget for gas, auto insurance, and routine upkeep. Our finance team is always happy to sit down and help you run the numbers.
How do I choose my first car, truck, or SUV?
Think about your daily routine. Do you drive a long way to work? A smaller car with great gas mileage might be your best bet. Do you need extra space for gear or road trips? An SUV or truck will give you the room you need. Tell us what your day looks like, and we will help you find a vehicle you truly love.
Should my first car be new or used?
Both are excellent choices! New cars give you the latest features and full warranties for peace of mind. Used cars help you save money upfront and often cost less to insure. We have a huge variety of both, so you can test drive a few different options and see what feels right for your budget.
