Tips for Buying a Car:


Many consumers believe that car shopping involves going to a dealer, looking at cars and test driving. However, car shopping done properly requires a lot more work than that. Follow the steps below and make car shopping easier on yourself:

  1. Qualify Yourself
    Before you shop, review your budget and determine a maximum and desired payment amount. Plus, visit Community Credit Union to get pre-qualified. That way, you know exactly how much you can spend on a vehicle and what the payment will be.
  2. Determine Your Needs
    Take time to determine exactly what your needs and wants are, and most importantly, be sure to distinguish between the two of them.
  3. Do Background Work On The Vehicle
    Once you have a general idea of what you want in a vehicle, do background work on the vehicles available. Discover the advantages and disadvantges of your choices and what the price ranges are.
  4. Investigate Financing Options
    Make the decision as to whether you will purchase or lease the vehicle. If you choose to purchase the vehicle, visit Community Credit Union to ensure pricing of your vehicle options fits into your budget.
  5. Choose The Right Dealer
    Find out what dealers offer the vehicles you're interested in then visit them. (We work closely with several dealers; they are listed above)
  6. Test Drive
    Take several vehicles from your list for a test drive.
  7. Be Aware of Total Cost of Vehicle
    Remember that when you purchase a vehicle, there's other costs involved:
    Warranties, Taxes, Registration and Insurance. Be sure to look into all of these items again to ensure you can truly afford the vehicle.

The Truth About 0% Financing

You have undoubtedly seen the advertising from automakers offering 0% financing to purchase a new car, truck or SUV.  You can't beat 0% financing, right? Well, in most cases you can! Here are a few things to consider when you think about taking advantage of a 0% financing offer:

  • If you qualify, you usually have to choose between taking the 0% offer or the factory cash back offers (rebates).
  • Not everyone qualifies. You generally have to have near perfect credit to receive the 0% rate.
  • In most cases, 0% financing options are only available with low terms causing your monthly payment to increase.

Click here to use a calculator on one of our Online Resource Centers, Home and Family Finance, to help you determine if the 0% financing or the rebate will save you more money in the end!
