Congratulations! At Young Kia in Layton, Utah, we want to help make the process easier and less stressful for first-time car buyers. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:
Do Your Research
Consider factors like:
- Vehicle size and cargo space
- Fuel efficiency
- Safety features and ratings
- Reliability and maintenance costs
Know Your Budget
Determine how much you want to spend on a monthly car payment. Remember to factor in additional ongoing costs of car ownership like fuel, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. Aim to keep your total car expenses to less than 20 percent of your take-home pay.
Explore Financing and Leasing Options
First-time car buyers have two main options: financing to buy or leasing. Buying a car means taking out a loan and making monthly payments until you own it outright. Leasing means making monthly payments to borrow the car for a set term. The finance team at Young Kia can walk you through the pros and cons of each option.
