What Do You Really Want in a New Car?
You need to know what you want from your next vehicle before you start looking. Do you have a family that needs transport to various activities and you want them to have entertainment while you're going from place to place? Or do you need a heavy-duty pickup truck that can haul a three-horse trailer with living quarters? You also want to consider the interior features such as the trim package. Someone who's working in the dirt and mud on a regular basis usually prefers an easily cleaned interior, while someone who's a daily driver may want heated leather seats and an infotainment system for comfort.
Buying a new vehicle is a very personal action. Your car becomes part of your identity over time. Make sure that the car you buy will always deliver what you need when you want it. Make a checklist of what works for you, what doesn't work for you, and what you can get along with. You'll be much happier with your decision as you drive off our lot at Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Lewisville.
Stay Within Your Budget
You'll want to determine how much car you can reasonably afford without hurting your ability to pay your other household expenses. You may qualify for a larger loan than you expect, but you don't want to get into trouble, either. Base your ability to repay the loan by factoring in financial emergencies. A car is a necessity when it comes to keeping your life intact and knowing you can afford the payments in tough times makes it easier for you to keep your car. Our finance department can help you stay within your buying limits. To get started, contact our finance department today or check out our online payment calculator!
What Are Your Deal Breakers?
Chances are good that you know what features you want in a car, but do you know what features you don't want in a car? For example, you prefer having a V-6 engine because it's got some pep but isn't heavy on the gas mileage. You then find a car that has everything you want on it, except it has a V-8 or V-4. Ask yourself if you can handle the extra gasoline cost of the V-8 or the slower acceleration of the V-4. If you don't like either of these things, you won't enjoy the car for long. Don't buy a car that won't make you happy over the course of your ownership.
Take That Test Drive
You've found what seems to be the perfect car for you and you've come to Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Lewisville to take it home. Before you sign on the dotted line, take the car for a test drive. You need to make sure that it's everything you're expecting, no matter if you're buying an upgrade of your current model or buying a model that's completely new to you. It's always a good idea to learn how the car feels and handles during different driving conditions, and the test drive is the time to do just that.
Research the Make and Model You're Interested in Buying
Vehicles are always undergoing design and engineering changes in order to keep models from becoming stale or to incorporate the latest technology for fuel efficiency. Sometimes the changes are substantial from the previous model, and sometimes they're subtle. You may be interested in a model that's been completely overhauled after years of little change, but you should be informed about those changes. Our salespeople at Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Lewisville are here to help you learn more about the models you're interested in, but your own research is also invaluable for your ultimate buying decision.

Keep an Open Mind When Considering New or Used
Car buyers often go for a brand-new car because no one else has handled the car outside of the dealership. Miles are low, the car's computer system learns their style of driving without the need for reprogramming, and, let's face it, there's nothing like that brand-new car smell. However, used cars can be just as good as a new car, especially with modern engineering and engines that are built to last.
Don't want to buy a car that's been owned by someone else? Consider buying a car that's from the prior model year but has been on our lot for a while. That way, you'll get a car that has little in the way of mileage, costs less than a current model year vehicle, and carries a full warranty. New cars from the previous model year don't have much in the way of differences over the current year and still deliver everything you want from a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram.
We know how important your next car purchase is to you, and we're here to help you find the right car that fits your needs and your budget. Our Lewisville dealership serves the Dallas, Forth Worth, Denton and Carrollton areas!
