Mistake #1: Not test driving a car. When you go to buy a car, it’s ESSENTIAL that you take it for a test drive no matter if it’s new or used. This will help you not only see how the car actually performs, but also ensure that you’re comfortable behind the wheel and that it’s going to be a fit for you as a driver. Always take a test drive – our Toyota of Orlando sales specialists are happy to get you behind the wheel.
Mistake #2: Only concentrating on price or monthly payment – you should look at both together. You should definitely consider the overall price when you’re about to buy a car, as you want to ensure you’re getting a fair deal. However, don’t forget to take the monthly payment into consideration as well, so you can ensure it meets your budget. You’ll have to factor in financing when it comes to a monthly payment, so make sure you get a rate you’re comfortable with that won’t boost the overall amount of money you’re spending on the car by too much.
Mistake #3: Buying or leasing a car that’s just too much. Leases are a great way to get your hands on a good deal if you’re not going to buy a car and want a little lower of a monthly payment. However, some people only see the luxury they’re about to be riding in and don’t take into account expenses that can actually make the lease or purchase more expensive – we’re talking maintenance, fuel costs, and insurance. It’s nice to have a nice car, but don’t get stuck in a low payment that comes with a ton of expensive extras.
Mistake #4: Not buying the RIGHT car for you. Before you buy a car – whether at Toyota of Orlando or from another dealer – you need to ensure it has all the qualities you want. That’s why we recommend making a checklist of EVERYTHING you need in the car. Think about space, performance, fuel efficiency, technology, safety features, and style. If the car doesn’t have what you need, don’t even think about signing on the dotted line – it could lead to major buyer’s remorse.
