We can all agree that Hyundai (HYU) goes all in with its design, safety, and affordability, making it one of the top choices for vehicle buyers. But how do you decide between a new and a used car in the lineup? Let's look at some things you must consider when shopping for a car in Butler, PA. more Consider Your Budget Your buying power is often the most significant factor when shopping for a car. A new vehicle costs significantly more than a used one, so you'll need to choose an option you can afford. However, many dealerships offer financing options and incentive programs that may help you afford your dream car. Ideally, you want the dealership to pre-approve you for an auto loan. That's how you make an informed decision and get a better offer from the dealer. Think About the Purpose of Your New Car Let's say you have a family of four and need an affordable vehicle with enough space for everyone plus a little more for cargo. A used SUV may be the more sensible choice here, as it should have enough room and still be within your budget. But it is important to note that finding a well-maintained SUV in the used car market is not the easiest thing to do, unless you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle. If you are buying your child their first car, a new model may be a better option because of its safety features. HYU is known for its advanced safety technology, so you can trust its latest models to keep your loved one safe on the road. Research the Resale Value of Your Car in Butler, PA Generally speaking, new cars will depreciate harder in the first few years than used ones. That makes a used HYU a great option if you're looking for something that will hold its value over time. New car buyers can trade in their vehicles after the first year at an estimated 20% depreciation, but this figure jumps to 30% or 40% by the fifth year. Warranties Can Make a Difference HYU offers great warranties on all their cars, but they only apply to new and certified pre-owned vehicles. This offer covers the cost of repairs for a predetermined period, depending on the model and year. If you're worried about costly repairs down the line, buying a new or certified pre-owned HYU is the best option. Overall, it is important to note that your budget and needs will determine whether you should buy a new or used HYU. A new car might be your best option if you want all the bells and whistles, while a used car can save you money in the long run. Whatever your choice, visit Mike Kelly Hyundai today, and let us help you make your dreams come true. Image via Pixabay

So, you've picked out the car you want and are planning a trip to the bank for an auto loan, but did you know that you can go to your Hyundai dealer for car financing? There are myriad benefits to getting financing at your dealership, so read on if you'd like to understand the process better. more Time Efficiency If you choose to get a loan through a credit union or bank, you need to be pre-approved to know how much you will need to pay in interest on the loan. You need to do this before choosing your car because part of this process is getting a letter of commitment from the lender that you take to the dealership. This can take more than a week from start to finish, which is not ideal. On the other hand, when you arrange financing through the dealership, your dealer will send your credit application to multiple lenders on your behalf and then share the resultant loan offers with you in a few hours. Everybody Is Welcome Many people believe that buying a car is out of their reach because they have a poor credit score or don't have good standing with a bank or other financial institutions. There is also the mistaken belief that car dealerships won't help you with financing if you have never been a customer of theirs. Well, we're here to set the record straight. Financing through a dealer is much more accessible than you imagine! Dealers will work with new customers even with low or no credit. You will likely pay a higher interest rate if you have a bad credit score, but this would apply at a bank or a dealership. Better Options Financing through your local dealer will give you options to choose from because the dealer sends your application to many lenders. If you go to the bank for an auto loan, they will only give you one rate, and you would need to start the process again with another bank to get more options. Going through Hyundai will make financing easier, quicker, and more enjoyable. Special Deals If you go through your dealer, you may be eligible for promotions and specials, especially if you want to purchase a vehicle already in stock. It helps to have a good credit score, as there are a few criteria that you need to meet for most deals. If you qualify, sometimes you can get a loan with zero interest, which would significantly decrease the cost of your car. Organizing financing through your dealership is more convenient, takes less time, and you could even benefit from promotional sales on add-ons and packages. What more do you need? See us at Mike Kelly Hyundai, and we'll be happy to explain the whole process in detail and get you driving your dream car!   Image via Pixabay
