How Do I Buy My First Car?
Step 1: Decide On Your Budget
One of the most important aspects of buying a car is setting your budget and sticking to it. Don't forget that you will still need to pay your other monthly bills and expenses on top of your car payment, not to mention the cost of gas or future service visits. Whether you want an SUV, truck, sedan or anything else, make sure you have a specific price range as you begin car shopping.
Step 2: Research New & Used Vehicles
Once you determine your budget, you can shop our selection of new Buick and new GMC vehicles or our large selection of used cars, SUVs, and trucks to find the right match. No matter if you want to purchase a new vehicle with the latest tech or an affordable used car with low mileage, we have plenty of great options to explore!
Step 3: Get Pre-Approved for Auto Financing
Did you locate a pre-owned GMC Sierra or new Buick Encore GX near Wheaton that meets your every need? You can easily apply for GMC financing online to get pre-approved, which can help streamline your purchase experience even further.
Step 4: Take a Test-Drive
Even if you love the look of a specific vehicle, it's important to test-drive it so you know it's a good fit for you. Don't hesitate to test-drive multiple vehicles!
Step 5: Negotiate Your Price
After you choose your vehicle, you can negotiate your price and payment plan with our auto finance team. We can help you sign a new Buick lease or get a used car loan with terms that suit your budget.
Step 6: Check the Vehicle's History
If you're purchasing a used Buick or GMC near Wheaton, be sure to ask for a copy of the vehicle's history report so you're aware of any prior accidents, services or repairs.
Step 7: Finalize Your Purchase!
Once you've decided on your vehicle and payment plan, you can finalize your purchase details and get the keys to your new or new-to-you car!
