Shopping for a new or new-to-you car can be stressful in the best of times, but our team here at Matt Castrucci Nissan wants you to enjoy every second of your car-shopping journey.

Tips for buying a new car
1. Research, Research, Research
If you’re in the market for a new or new-to-you vehicle, research is going to become your best friend. We highly recommend making a list of features that are most important to you and searching for a vehicle that matches your priority list. Comparing similar vehicles is also extremely helpful because you’ll be able to see which automaker offers the features and specifications you’re looking for.
2. Review Financing Options
Prior to arriving at the dealership, make sure you review the dealership’s financing options. You’ll want to check out the credit pre-approval process if you’re looking for a loan, and it’s also a good idea to calculate potential monthly payments for the vehicle. And if you’re going to trade-in your current vehicle, it’s not a bad idea to get an estimate of how much your vehicle is worth before you walk in the dealership’s doors.
3. Take a Test Drive
This may seem fairly obvious, but it’s vitally important, so we think it’s worth mentioning. You’re not going to truly know if a vehicle is a good fit for you until you get in the driver’s seat and take a test drive. A vehicle may have all the features and specifications you’re looking for, but if the ride quality is poor or something just feels off, you’ll want to keep looking for other options.
