Steps You Can Take to Budget for a New Car

At Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM you can expect to receive assistance and expertise from a team of auto professionals who are dedicated to customer satisfaction. One of the many things that we are proud of at our Jeep, RAM, Chrysler, and Dodge dealership is our dedication to making every step of the car buying experience as seamless as possible, even when it comes to the financial aspect.

Of all the aspects of buying a new car, talking money is often the most stressful for new car buyers. Fortunately, we’re committed to ensuring that even the discussion of finances is stress-free and open. When sitting down with us to purchase a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM vehicle, we always recommend that customers first determine what their budget is. Determining your budget includes adding up your current expenses an the total cost of a new vehicle. By doing this, you can get a full picture of whether or not you can afford a new vehicle.

One way to lighten the financial burden of buying a new car is to provide a sizable down-payment. A down payment is a portion of money that is paid up-front for a vehicle, which can dramatically reduce how much you pay monthly. A sizable down payment can also reduce the length of your auto loan, meaning you can pay off the car sooner. When providing a down payment, we recommend that you put down around 20% of the car’s total value to receive the best financial results.

No matter if you’re hoping to purchase a new RAM truck or are looking for a certified pre-owned Jeep SUV, our team at Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM are here to help you find the car of your dreams. Our goal is to remove stress and intimidation from the car buying process entirely and help you leave our dealership completely satisfied.
