If you're ready to buy a new car at our Volvo dealership, congratulations - you're on the verge of owning a supremely sophisticated and luxurious automobile. If you want to get the most out of your purchase, consider these preparation tips.

Purchasing a New Car From a Dealership

Set a Budget

Before you begin shopping for new Volvo cars near New Bern, it's important to set a budget. Ideally, your total car expenses should not exceed 20 percent of your monthly take-home income. Also, keep in mind that your budget needs to account not just for your down payment and your monthly car payment, but also regular car-related expenses such as gas, insurance, and maintenance.

Explore Our Online New Car Inventory

After you've set your budget, it's time to explore our online new car inventory. This user-friendly interface offers lots of parameters by which you can find your next new car - for example, you can search by model and trim, as well as engine type, color, and price. Don't forget to check out our new Volvo offers too, which can provide you with great savings.

Get Preapproved For Financing

Once you've set your budget and reviewed our online inventory, we recommend that you get preapproved for Volvo financing. Doing so will give you a clear idea of how much car you can afford, as well as what types of interest rates you could qualify for. Credit preapproval is also helpful for identifying ways to improve your credit and put yourself in the best position possible for buying a new car.

Choose A Short Loan Term

As part of the financing process, you'll have the opportunity to choose your loan term - in other words, how long you want to take to pay off the loan that we give you. The longer the loan term, the more interest you'll end up paying. Also, a longer loan term of course means you'll have to wait longer before you finally own the car. Because of these stipulations, a short loan term is always best.
