Tips from Our Team for First-Time Buyers

Tips from Our Team for First-Time Buyers

Buying Your First Vehicle? Our Sales Team Shares Their Top Tips

Buying your first car is a big deal—and it should be exciting, not overwhelming! To help you feel confident and ready to hit the road, we asked our sales team to share their best advice for first-time car buyers. Here's what they recommend:

1. Do Your Research

Anthony Como - General Manager 

Anthony encourages buyers to take their time and think about their lifestyle before making a decision.

His advice: “Prioritize thorough research, determine a realistic budget, and consider your lifestyle needs to find the right vehicle.”

Think about what you’ll use the vehicle for—commuting, road trips, running errands, or maybe a mix of all three.

2. Build a Relationship with the Business Manager

Don Gorman- Business Manager/Sales Consultant

According to Don, getting to know your dealership's business manager early on can save you time.

 Ask questions like, “What do I need to qualify?” This helps you know if you’re a good fit before accessing your credit score. It can also reduce unnecessary inquiries and lead to a smoother experience overall.

3. Know Your Budget – and Stick to It

David Morrison- Sales Consultant

David says the most important first step is knowing your budget—and being honest about how you’ll be paying.

“Know your budget, whether you're paying cash or financing, and stay within it.”

It’s easy to get caught up in cool features, but starting with a clear budget will help you narrow your options and avoid financial stress later on.

4. Always Ask for the Carfax

Kody Macdonald 

This one’s simple but crucial—Koady says never skip the vehicle history report.

His advice: “Always ask for the Carfax!”

A Carfax report will tell you if the vehicle has been in any accidents, how many owners it's had, and whether it’s been properly maintained. It’s a small step that can help you avoid major headaches.

Ready to start the journey?


Buying your first car doesn’t have to be intimidating. Take your time, ask questions, and surround yourself with a team that wants to help you make the right choice. Whether you’re ready to browse or just want to talk options, we’re here to help every step of the way.
