Our staff at AutoMattox in Appomattox, VA has a few tips for people who want to purchase a used vehicle. These are great tips to consider when you come into our dealership as well.
Once you decide to buy a new car, it is time to figure out a budget. This budget should include any savings that you need to do for a down payment and what you can't afford for all of your transportation costs monthly.
After you have a budget, research vehicles, starting with safety ratings first. Consider what size of vehicle you want as well as what kind of performance you would like. Take test drives of several different cars and then gather the paperwork you need to purchase your used vehicle. If you have all of the paperwork, such as proof of income, ahead of time, purchasing a vehicle is a pretty quick process.
