Ask Yourself Questions to Find the Right Vehicle For Your Needs

Shopping for a new or new-to-you vehicle is an experience that you want to get right the first time. Finding that perfect car or SUV that meets your needs and preferences is something that makes the whole process worth it in the end. If you want an easier time navigating the researching period of the shopping process, Thelen Subaru in Bay City, MI, wants to help by offering suggestions. Among them are questions that you should ask yourself throughout the evaluation process to make sure that you are looking at the right Subaru when it comes time to visit our mid-Michigan dealership to start the purchasing process. 

Five Questions to Ask While Vehicle Shopping

Is This the Right Time to Buy a Vehicle? – Why are you purchasing the vehicle? Is it because you need a vehicle upgrade due to a growing family or because your current vehicle is becoming unreliable? Can you confidently incorporate a monthly new or pre-owned vehicle payment into your current financial situation? Being able to answer yes or a positive response to these means you can move to the next step of the evaluation process.

What is My Budget? – How much can you afford to put into a new or new-to-you vehicle? This can help you dictate not only which of the two options is better suited for you but also offer insight into other factors such as body style and features. 

New or Pre-Owned Subaru? – After determining the budget you have set for yourself, visit the new and pre-owned inventory pages on Thelen Subaru’s website to see the excellent selection of vehicles available at our Mid-Michigan dealership. You can use our convenient payment calculator to see the estimated monthly payment you could be looking at based on the vehicle you are looking to buy. We offer all the relevant information you need through a vehicle’s inventory page to help you make confident purchasing decisions before you stop in.

Body Style? – Do you want a sleek and sporty vehicle like a Subaru Impreza or a spacious SUV such as the Subaru Ascent? Each offers its own advantages when it comes to catering to specific family needs.  By knowing what you need from your vehicle, you can choose the Subaru that is perfect.

What Features Do You Want? – Finally, what features are must-haves in your next vehicle? Are you more of a fan of basic amenities for a pure driving experience, or do you like having all the latest technology in your vehicle? What safety features do you feel you need to have when it comes to confidently and safely driving with your friends and family? If you need any assistance with what features come on a specific Subaru model, our sales team will be happy to help.
