• You’re constantly bringing your current vehicle to a service center for repairs.
• You feel unsafe driving your car on the Balcones Heights roads at times.
• You may be starting a family or just need a vehicle with more interior space/cargo storage.
• If your car is constantly failing emission tests, getting it up to standards can prove to be quite costly. Buying a new car could save you money.

How to Save For a New Car

When shopping for a new car, it’s important to set a budget. Here are some aspects of a new vehicle that you should monitor closely so you don’t overspend:

• Sales Tax: This tax is added to your car loan payment is usually non-negotiable.

• Interest Rate: The lower the interest rate on your car, the lower your monthly payments will be. However, not all drivers may qualify for a low interest rate, which is based on credit score. 

• Trade-in Value: Trading in your current vehicle for a new one can help with the cost of a new car. If you still owe money on your current vehicle, then the dealership will add that cost to the overall cost of the new vehicle. You can use our online trade-in tool to help determine your current car’s trade-in value.
