When you’re considering a used car, you’ll want to map out a system with a used car financing checklist before you get started. These tips will help San Leandro, Fremont, and San Jose, California, drivers go through every step with ease and success. We’re there to help the array of customers we meet at San Leandro Hyundai get the car they want.
Of course, you want a new, pre-owned vehicle, but do you even know what you want? A flood of cars travel around town, and many will appeal to you, but it’s best to get a mix of needs and wants in your next car. Think about what you need to make any trip you take easier. Then, examine your driving style and your favorite features.
Making a pros and cons list and detailing what you’ll do with your car could be very helpful. You’ll also want to run down the types of cars you’ve driven and used that fit your lifestyle. Do you admire a friend’s, neighbor’s, or family member’s car? Write down the characteristics you appreciate and could suit your needs.
Before you tour our used cars, you’ll want to do some research beyond our site. Grab your list of cars you like and do some investigating. Some sites will scrutinize every aspect of the car, including the performance, interior, and technology so that you know how those areas rate.
Go to sites like US News & World Report for reviews, comparisons, and all sorts of relevant information about different cars. Edmunds.com and Kelley Blue Book® also give plenty of stats and practical information about the cars that interest you. These resources also provide you with information about what your current car may yield on the open market.
Look through our inventory, and you will see that each car includes a link to its CARFAX® vehicle history report. This will let you know the number of accidents and owners the car has had.
Now let’s get to the fun part. Come down to our dealership to see the cars you’ve been considering in person. Pictures can lure you in, but when you see the used car you love up close, you’ll be able to imagine yourself inside. You can even get inside and examine the dashboard, try out the comfortable seats, and then rev the engine before a test drive.
When you’re mulling over the cars you want, check out prospects through our online search. This easy tool lets you narrow down your prospects to a select few so that you can stop by for a few test drives. Some popular pre-owned vehicles we offer include the Kona, Sonata, and Tucson.
Once you’ve established which car you want, you’ll be ready to get your financing underway. We populate our staff with experienced finance specialists who work with a variety of drivers, so they know how to tailor a plan to accommodate your needs. Let them know your situation, and they can help you secure the car you want and drive off the lot happy.
