At Century Automotive, we want to make the car-buying process as simple as possible for our friends in Huntsville, Florence, and Cullman. So, we put together this list of 10 steps to buying a used car. Read carefully through and contact our dealership with any questions you may have.
Once you've decided you're ready to get behind the wheel of a used car, the first step is to check your credit. It's crucial to check early to detect any inaccuracies, allowing you ample time to make corrections.
Considering trading in your current vehicle? Find out its value with our helpful online tool. Learning the value of your car allows you to better understand what type of rate you can expect.
The next step is to browse our online inventory to see what's currently available. Refine your search based on make, equipped features, and mileage to easily find the car best suited to you.
During your search, you may come across certified pre-owned models. These vehicles have strict requirements and must pass a rigorous multi-point inspection. So, if you're looking for a high-quality used car, contact our dealership to learn more about this program.
Once a used or certified pre-owned vehicle catches your eye, it's time to research. Researching the car that you're interested in is essential to gaining a better sense if it suits your needs.
After narrowing down your options, speak to a member of our sales team about seeing a history report to gain a comprehensive look at your desired ride.
The next step is to meet with a sales associate to take a test drive of any vehicle of your choosing to experience its performance firsthand.Ask us any questions you have to guarantee you're making a well-informed decision.
Once you've decided which vehicle you want to get behind the wheel of, it's time to prepare for financing. Bring your driver's license, proof of insurance, recent pay stubs, and your form of payment with you to our finance center. Contact us today with any questions.
After gathering the necessary documents, you're ready to sit down with one of our financiers to discuss your options. We'll take the time to explore all your possibilities so you can find a rate you'll feel confident about.
