-

 So, you're in the market for a new vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks? That's great news! It's an exciting time for you to get a stylish new vehicle that only you've had the pleasure of driving. But, before you go buying a new vehicle, there are a few consideration you should take into account to ensure you're getting the best deal. In this week's blog, the best car dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks, Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC is here to give you a few pointers when buying a new vehicle. 

Do Your Research

Be informed and do through research on the make, model, and year of the vehicles you're interested in. Be sure that you know the MSRP of the vehicles so that you have an idea of what the initial sticker price should look like. This knowledge will help you know the value of the car when it comes to negotiating a fair price for it.

Understand the Long-term Cost

Since you're buying new, you'll also want to figure in the long-terms costs and opportunities for the vehicle before you buy. Things such as resale value, insurance premiums, and potential repairs and maintenance should something happen to the vehicle. Other considerations are gas mileage and any potential issues that sometimes appear in certain makes/models. 

Create a Budget & Stick to it

Always be sure to calculate a budget for what you can safely afford. If you're paying cash, you'll have a little more sway in your budget as you won't have a monthly car payment. However, if you're obtaining financing for the vehicle, you'll want to ensure that you figure the car payment and insurance fit within your monthly budget for expenses. 

Schedule a Test Drive... or Two

ALWAYS test drive a vehicle before you sign the dotted line. This will help you identify any potentials issues and get a feel being behind the vehicle before you make the purchase. Is it a comfortable ride? Would you prefer more space? Too high? Too low? Does it have the features you want in a vehicle? All of these things are good to know and get a feel of before buying to avoid any buyers remorse.

Ask About Special Offers

Dealerships typically offer specials throughout the year on certain makes and models. If you don't already know what they are from shopping the dealership online, be sure to ask any ongoing offers that could help you find a great deal with some awesome incentives. 

Negotiate Clearly & Don't be Afraid to Walk

Be sure that you ask about the "out the door" price when it comes time to negotiate. This will help you understand all the items that are being considered in the final price of the vehicle. If you talk to your dealer upfront about your budget it can greatly help in determining the perfect vehicle to suit your needs and fit your budget. Avoiding any unneeded hassles. Be sure that you clearly understand the final terms of your loan, your trade-in amount, and the actual price you're paying for the vehicle before signing the bottom line.

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1.
