How to Buy a New Car

Are you looking for the perfect new car for your Fort Worth commutes? Purchasing a new car can be very exciting, but it might not feel that way for you. It could be that you’re frustrated with negative experiences with dealerships or that you just don’t know where to begin. Well, don’t worry. There is a way for your journey to be easy and stress free, and we here at Karl Klement Ford want to show you how. Read our tips on how and when to buy a new car, then come to our Karl Klement Ford dealership to check out our ample inventory!

When to Buy a New Car

Buying a new car can be a hefty financial decision. That’s why it’s best to start with knowing whether it’s time for you to buy one. Here’s how you can know when to buy a new car:
  1. You are constantly repairing your car and it’s impacting both your wallet and your time. At a certain point, you’ll be paying more for repairs rather than you would for a new car.
  2. Some of your drives on the Springtown roads have felt unsafe. No one wants that. It’s best to avoid any kind of accident, so if you’re questioning or have questioned your car’s safety, it’s time to say goodbye.
  3. Maybe your family has grown. If you were single when you first got your car, but now you have the beginnings of a family, you may want to get a bigger car! Upgrading to an SUV with better safety features and space could be the move.
  4. Is your car failing emissions tests? Opting for a new model will save you more money in the long run instead of trying to pay for everything you’d need to get it up to snuff.

How to Choose Your Ideal New Car

So now you’re sure you want a new car, but how do you start? The best place to start is to create a budget and stick to it. If you need help, contact our finance center and we can assist you in creating a budget and payment plan that works. This is a step-by-step guide on what to do next:
  • Narrow your search. Consider your driving habits, cargo space requirements, and desired technology and safety features, then start searching for models that meet your needs.
  • Pick your top three models, then research your top choices’ safety ratings, reliability, lifespan, etc. If you have the time, take a test drive in each model to learn how they handle on Boyd streets.
  • When you’ve decided on a final choice, do a local search to see your dealership options and request price quotes, and be sure to research what other shoppers have paid.
  • Take into consideration any big upcoming sale weekends or holidays that might come with really good deals, like Black Friday or Presidents Day. You can also check our new vehicle specials.
Once you’ve done the above, head to your dealership of choice and make it official!
