Exploring Your First Purchase
What is your Budget?
The first step in buying a car is to establish your budget. A budget will help you focus on the cars you can afford - before you fall in love with a car that will break your bank.
To create a budget, add up all your monthly income and all of your monthly expenses. It helps to categorize your expenses as either fixed (rent, mortgage, utilities, student loan payments, etc.) or discretionary (eating out, buying new clothes, that must-have coffee drink, etc.). Once you have an accurate idea of your expenses, you can see where you can cut back to leave you more money to put toward your monthly car payment. Remember, unless you pay 100% in cash, a car payment will be a new fixed expense.
Explore Your Financing
When you've narrowed down your dream car list, it's time to think about how you'll finance the purchase. Unless you have funds available to buy a car outright with cash, you'll likely need an auto loan to finance the purchase.
You also should consider the length of the loan and how much of a down payment you have. Auto loan terms generally range from 36 to 84 months. The longer the loan term, the smaller your monthly payment will be, but you will pay more in interest with a longer term loan. How much of a down payment you can afford also affects your monthly payments. The more you put down, the lower loan balance you will start with.

Save for a Down Payment
How big does the down payment on a car need to be? Just as with buying a home, most lenders like to see a down payment that’s at least 20% of the car’s price.
The following reasons can help explain why a 20% down payment makes sense:
- The bigger the down payment, the smaller the loan you'll need.
- A bigger down payment generally earns you more favorable loan terms, which saves you money in the long run.
Ancillary Products
As you are getting ready to sign the contract, Midland Chrysler may offer you additional products and services in the purchase or leasing process. We do not require you to purchase these optional products or services for credit approval or a specific interest rate.
Read the Contract Carefully
Buying a new vehicle can sometimes be a lengthy process. Once you have a contract in hand, be sure to take as much time as you need to read the contract in full before you sign.
Make sure the paperwork matches the negotiated terms and do not be afraid to ask questions. You should only sign documents after you have read and understand the terms and price. When leaving Midland Chrysler we make sure you have a signed copy of the completed credit contract or lease agreement.
