Buying the Right Car: A Shopper's Guide

Buying the Right Car: A Shopper's Guide

Buying a new vehicle isn't a task you should take lightly. When choosing the right vehicle, you need to consider more than just the sleek design or powerful engine. It's important to understand your requirements and choose a vehicle that suits your lifestyle, budget, and preferences.

The following guide will help you choose the ideal car. When you shop at Briggs Kia, our sales associates will assist you throughout the process and help you find the right model for your needs. Visit our Kia dealership in Topeka, KS, and explore our selection.

Get A Clear Understanding of What You Need

When choosing the right vehicle, several factors must be considered. Families with kids who need to travel from one activity to another and take them to school and back may benefit from a minivan or a bigger SUV. If you need a vehicle for occasional weekend hauling or a quick weekend adventure, the Telluride and Carnival MPV offers up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.

When it comes to fuel-efficient vehicles, sedans and hybrid models are the best choices. Consider options that provide the features you are looking for.

At Briggs Kia, we offer a variety of body styles, but some may be better suited to your lifestyle and driving habits than others. Feel free to contact our sales team if you have any questions or concerns.

Decide on a Budget

Apart from buying a home or paying for school, buying a vehicle may be the most expensive purchase you'll ever make. Keeping this in mind, you should plan your shopping trip carefully. Don't forget to set a budget before visiting Briggs Kia.

If you plan to finance your car, consider all your financial obligations and how much space you have for monthly car payments. After deciding what you can afford, look for vehicles within that range. You should not fall prey to the temptation of looking outside your budget, regardless of how appealing the model may seem.

Think About the Cost of Owning a Car

The cost of owning a car doesn't end at the sticker price. You'll also have to pay for maintenance, insurance, gasoline, cleaning, and more on a weekly, monthly, semi-annual, or annual basis. When financing a vehicle, you must be aware of the interest, which will add to the total cost over the loan term.

Take It for a Spin

A test drive is a good way to determine if the car is right for you. Testing the vehicle may reveal certain aspects that would be impossible to detect visually alone. Observe the following things when you do a test drive:

• What is the car's handling and acceleration like?
• Are the brakes responsive?
• Does the steering feel smooth and easy?
• Can the car handle uneven terrain smoothly?
• Do you like the interior space?
• Is it easy to see the road ahead from the driver's seat?

Financial Services for Automobiles

There is no need to worry if you cannot pay cash for a vehicle. Briggs Kia offers various financial services to help you finance your car. The in-house finance team can assist you, or we can work with the lender of your choice. In addition, we can help you find the right rate and terms for your situation. Our website even offers tools for applying for financing and getting pre-approved.

A Guide to Choosing Your Next Kia

Which vehicle meets your key requirements best will determine the right one for you. Is there a vehicle that excels in key areas you care about? When they are evenly matched, paying attention to the smaller details might be necessary. In some cases, it may boil down to a matter of personal taste or style. Decide which model you believe you'll enjoy driving most for a long time.
