File Your Taxes

The first step may seem obvious, but we know that filing taxes can be one of those things that you wait until the last week to complete. However, the sooner you complete your taxes the sooner you'll know your exact refund which will guide your shopping process and allow you to able to start shopping for a great pre-owned vehicle. Whether you choose to file on your own or with an accountant, now is the time to get your refund.

Calculate Your Budget

One of the most common ways to utilize the amount you receive from the government is as a down payment. Not only does this help stretch your savings or allow you to avoid taking from it entirely, the more money you provide as signing helps lower the amount you have to borrow. In recent years the average tax refund has been around $3,000, which would make a solid down payment for a wide range of our used inventory. Even if you only end up getting $1,000 back, that will still make a difference, especially when factoring in new license plates, registration fees, and insurance.

Research Online Before Visiting a Dealership

Before you make your way over to our dealership, take some time to explore the different vehicles on our lot. We know that even with a budget in mind it can seem overwhelming when exploring all the possibilities, which is where our online Inventory Search tool comes into play. You'll be able to filter through makes, models, body styles, and included features. Compare two contenders side-by-side to see how they match up and then schedule a test drive in the top choice.
