5 Tips for Financing a New Car

Now that you’ve picked out your dream Mazda vehicle, you’re probably thinking about ways to finance it. Our team has compiled a few tips for you to consider when financing a new vehicle.

    Tips for Financing a New Car Doral FL Ocean Mazda

  1. Check Your Credit: Before you apply for financing, make sure you check your credit to see if you’ll be eligible for a loan. If your credit is less-than-ideal, it is recommended that you improve your credit score before applying for an auto loan.
  2. Know Your Budget: Figuring out your budget not only helps you in the long run, but it also helps you narrow down your vehicle options during your research.
  3. Get Your Trade-In Appraised: Most car buyers like to trade in their current vehicle. By doing so, they can likely apply the value towards their new vehicle. Having your trade-in appraised can potentially secure you a lower loan amount, too.
  4. Prequalify for a Loan Online: Although our dealership can help you apply for a loan, you can save time and be in a better buying position by coming in with your funding ready to go. If you’re prequalified, you’ll have a better understanding of what you can get approved for.
  5. Save for a Down Payment: Making a solid a down payment is a great way to earn more favorable loan terms and a potentially smaller loan as well.
