Questions to Ask When You’re Ready to Buy in Shawnee, OK
Have you thought about committing to a vehicle in our new or used inventories? Or have you just started your car search and are unsure of what to purchase? Our team at Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee can’t wait to help you find the car of your dreams or start the financial process of buying or leasing! But before we begin, we want to make sure the car you’ve chosen (or the car in your head) is exactly what you need. A vehicle is a big investment — it’ll serve the needs of your lifestyle and family for years to come, so it’s important to make sure that it’s right for you. That’s why we’d like you to pause and consider these questions below to help determine if that new or used car is your perfect fit!
Why do I need the car?
Let’s go back to your reasons why you decided you needed an upgrade in the first place. Did you choose to purchase a new or used car? What body style did you decide on? What powertrain did you determine worked best for your commute or hobbies? Remembering what you wanted to begin with (and why) can help you clear your head to make a good decision. You don’t want to purchase a model and immediately regret it. So if you’ve found the model that matches you, great! If not, keep browsing our selection with a member of our team.
What are my must-haves?
If you wrote out a list of must-have features for your dream car, check over your list one more time. Let's say you preferred a vehicle with a center touchscreen, leather upholstery, a power third-row seat or a sunroof. If the model has nearly everything you want but it's missing a power sunroof, consider the vehicle's other merits, too. You don't want a power sunroof to stand in the way of you and a great deal, but, for instance, if you need third-row seating for your growing family, don't compromise on what you need. Letting your list of must-have features guide you to the correct car without constricting you is your list's best use.
How much can I afford?
Don't forget about your budget! If you've been shopping with a member of our team, they would have already asked you budget-related questions and showed you models that fit your price range. But if you're shopping online, you'll have to exercise a bit more self-control. Besides, a shiny new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM may catch your eye, but it needs to match your finances, too. As you narrow your choices, know that we also offer new and used car specials to help lower your overall cost. And for an even more favorable bottom line, consider trading in your current ride for one of ours!
May I see a copy of the car's history report?
Absolutely — while our new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM models won't have a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ available, we do offer a complimentary report with every used model listing. If shopping online, click the CARFAX® widget to be shown the report in full, or if shopping in person, ask one of our representatives for a copy to inspect. You won't have to guess the caliber of our models! It's right there in black and white.
