Step 1: How to Research Your Vehicle Options

Before you make your decision, the first thing you need to do is research. With so many options available, it’s crucial to assess your requirements. Think about the following:

  • Vehicle Type: Do you need a compact car, an SUV, or a family-friendly vehicle?
  • Budget: Establish your budget and decide how much you’re willing to spend
  • Features: List the features you absolutely need, such as safety features, fuel economy, or technology

At Bill Walsh Streator's inventory, we offer a range of vehicles for you to explore and find your perfect match.

Step 2: Understanding Your Car Financing Options

Once you've selected the vehicle of your choice, it’s time to figure out how to finance your purchase. Here’s what you should know:

  • Loan Options: You can secure financing through your bank or take advantage of financing options offered by the dealership
  • Credit Score: Your credit score affects the interest rate and terms you will receive for your loan.
  • Down Payment: A larger down payment can help reduce monthly payments and make the loan more manageable

At Bill Walsh Streator's Finance Center, we are committed to helping you secure the best financing plan for your car purchase.

Step 3: The Test Drive and Finalizing Your Purchase

After securing financing, it’s time for the fun part: the test drive This is your chance to test the vehicle and see if it suits your needs. Here’s what to expect:

  • Test Drive: During the test drive, focus on comfort, handling, and the vehicle’s features.
  • Negotiation: When you’re happy with the car, you’ll move forward to negotiating the price and handling the paperwork
  • Closing the Deal: Our team will walk you through the final steps, including any paperwork, warranties, or add-ons

At Bill Walsh Streator, our goal is to ensure a smooth transaction, supporting you every step of the way.
