There is essential information that you should learn before you visit a Mazda dealer to buy a car. The car buying process can be stressful, but knowing what to expect will make the process effortless. This is what you need to know before you visit the car dealership.

Know Your Budget

Before visiting our dealership, use our payment calculator and other pre-purchase tools. This helps you stay on budget. Don’t forget that the cost of financing a vehicle will include the cost of the car, additional fees, and taxes.

Research Car Models

Next, take the time to research models and features so you get the ideal fit for your needs and lifestyle. If you’re browsing used vehicles, ask for a vehicle history report.

Apply For a Pre-Approved Loan

Pre-approval has two benefits for buyers and lessees. First, you’ll have an estimate of your potential loan amount, which can help you fine-tune your car search. Second, you will have an opportunity to raise your credit score – thereby lowering your APR – ahead of your visit and final credit approval.

Test-Drive the Car

No matter how much or well you’ve researched, there is no substitute for getting behind the wheel. Take the time to try multiple trims, test out features, and experience vehicles’ ergonomics. Your dealer will not mind; we want you to be thrilled with your final choice.

Protect Your Investment

Buying or leasing a vehicle is only the first step. Talk to your Mazda dealer about protecting your investment with essentials like GAP insurance, vehicle protection plans, and maintenance plans to ensure every drive is as enjoyable as the first.
