Key Factors to Consider When Buying a Chevy in Stanton, MI

When it comes to choosing the right Chevy for you and your family, the sheer amount of choice on the market can be overwhelming. Even when you restrict your search to just one manufacturer, you are still looking at dozens of different vehicles, each with its own specifications, multiple trim levels, and upgrade packages.

To make the choosing process as streamlined as possible for you and help you find your perfect vehicle, we’ve put together a list of tips and strategies that you can use to narrow down your choices to something a little less overwhelming.

Always keep your budget in mind

Before you start your search for your new Chevy, the first thing to do is set your budget. Setting an affordable budget means you can narrow down your choices by overall price and stops you from getting into a situation where your potential repayments are more than you can afford.

Car finance is a popular option, and Bookwalter Chevrolet’s experienced finance department is here to help our clients in Stanton, MI, get the best deal. Our finance managers will work with you to secure you the best finance program for your needs and the most competitive rates

Since a range of finance programs is available, it’s always best to call us before making a selection so we can discuss your options in detail. We also offer an online credit application that is simple to fill out and can help you get pre-approved for your next vehicle. So why wait, contact Bookwalter Chevrolet today to talk through your finance options!

List out your ‘non-negotiable’ needs for your Chevy

The first step in narrowing down your Chevy choices is to make a list of ‘must haves.’ These non-negotiable options represent the basic functionality that you and your family need from a vehicle.

For example, if you are looking for a work vehicle, then you might specify a certain towing weight or cargo capacity. If you’re buying a family car, then you might need a certain number of seats or a specific trunk capacity. If you primarily drive in the city, you might be looking for a Chevy of a certain length to maximize parking opportunities or one with good fuel efficiency, even in stop-start inner city traffic.

It’s important to emphasize that these basic needs are not a wishlist. You might want leather seats, but need the ability to fold the seats flat to accommodate a stroller or wheelchair, for example.

Use your ‘non-negotiables’ to choose a class of Chevy

Once you have your list of ‘non-negotiable’ needs, you can use it to start narrowing down the class of vehicle you need.

For example, if you needed that extra towing ability and storage capacity for a working vehicle, you’re probably not going to need a hatchback when there are pickups to choose from. If you need five seats to get all the kids in, you’ll, unfortunately, have to discount that sporty two-door coupe (or buy a second car).

Narrowing your search down to a specific class of vehicle has the primary benefit of reducing the number of options you have to research, but also allowing you to compare your options accurately.

It’s hard to properly compare a family minivan and an offroad truck because they are so fundamentally different. Restricting your search to a single class of vehicle makes side-by-side comparisons of your options much more straightforward.

Pick several potential Chevy options

Instead of rushing to choose a single vehicle, pick several Chevy options that catch your eye and fit your needs. Having a few options to choose between can help you evaluate the pros and cons of each option, allowing you to pick the best one for your needs.

A side-by-side comparison of potential vehicles can help you decide on the best car for you. Check out reviews online to see what other drivers are saying, and compare the features of each vehicle to find the one that is the most cost effective and best suited to your needs.

If you’re struggling to choose, then Bookwalter Chevrolet's experienced staff can help you decide! With 30 years of experience in helping people find the right Chevy for their needs and an in-depth knowledge of all the models available, we’ll be able to guide you through the decision process, so don’t be afraid to contact us today!

Don’t forget the different Chevy trim levels

The specifics of a vehicle can vary significantly depending on what trim you choose, as can the price. When considering which vehicle to purchase, always remember to take into account what the trim options are and what upgrade packages are available.

For example, the truck you’re considering might not seem like it can handle the off-road trails you need to drive until you choose the off-road specific trim. An optional extra package might give you a functionality boost, like greater towing capacity or a larger pickup bed, or it might add in that extra touch of luxury, like leather seats or a premium audio system.

Ensuring you know precisely what each trim offers and what potential upgrades are available helps you avoid rejecting a vehicle that could have been customized to fit your needs perfectly.

Remain flexible

If you’ve reached a point where you can’t find any vehicle that fits your needs, it might be time to return to your list of non-negotiables and reexamine them. Unfortunately, finding a vehicle that fits a particularly exhaustive list of needs might not be possible. If that is the case, staying flexible on specific criteria can help you find a vehicle that’s a good fit, if not the perfect fit.

Obviously, there will be certain specifications that you can’t be flexible on. There’s no point settling for a four-seater when you need a vehicle that seats six. However, there’s also no point in being so set on a certain selection of features that you can’t find a car to buy at all.
