If you’re looking for a premium car or SUV, searching for a Mazda Showroom near me ensures you’re off to a great start. If it’s your first time paying a visit to a car dealership or you need a refresher, there are four things you should do before you visit the showroom at Brown and Wood Mazda.
Check Your Credit Report
We advise checking your credit score before car shopping for the following reasons.
- Knowing your score gives you some idea of the lease or financing for which you may qualify.
- Likewise, some Mazda lease and finance offers are only available to those with high credit scores.
- You can identify and address any inaccuracies in the report.
- If your credit utilization is too high, paying balances down can raise your score and help you get a better rate.
Apply for Financing
Pre-qualifying for a car loan before visiting a car dealership benefits you because it gives you an idea of the loan or leases you qualify for. This helps with selecting a vehicle that will fit your budget and financing that works too.
Consider Trading In Your Vehicle
The down payment is another way to afford your new car and lower monthly payments. To that end, consider trading in your vehicle. You can get an estimated value through our website, and we’ll confirm via an inspection when you arrive.
Research the Dealership Inventory
Now that you understand the finances, it’s time to research the dealership’s stock. Compare the pricing, trims, and features against your list of must-haves, taking notes as you go. This will help save you time because you already have an idea of the vehicle you want. Visit Brown and Wood Mazda today.
