Step 1: Researching Your Vehicle Options

Start your car-buying journey by doing thorough research. With so many options available, it’s essential to identify your preferences. Think about the following:

  • Vehicle Type: Is a compact car, SUV, or a larger family car more suitable for your needs?
  • Budget: Determine your budget and how much you’re comfortable spending
  • Features: List the features you absolutely need, such as safety features, fuel economy, or technology

At Bill Walsh Streator's inventory, you can browse various models to find one that fits your preferences

Step 2: How to Finance Your Car Purchase

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: Explore financing options available through your bank or directly at the dealership.
  • Credit Score: Your credit score impacts your loan interest rate and terms
  • Down Payment: A larger down payment may lower your monthly payment, making the loan more affordable.

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

Step 3: Test Drive and Closing the Deal

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 is here to help you finalize the deal, including paperwork and any additional warranties or add-ons.

At Bill Walsh Streator, we make sure your purchase is hassle-free, assisting you with every part of the process
