What to Expect During Your Car Buying Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Purchasing a car might feel overwhelming, but at Bill Walsh Streator, we simplify the process for you. Whether you’re getting behind the wheel of your first car or upgrading your current vehicle, our team is dedicated to walking you through each stage to ensure that you have an effortless car-buying experience.

Step 1: Finding the Right Car for You

The first step in buying your car is research. With so many options available, it’s important to consider your needs. Think about the following:

• Vehicle Type: Consider whether you want a compact car, an SUV, or a spacious family vehicle.
• Budget: Establish your budget and decide how much you’re willing to spend
• Features: List the features you absolutely need, such as safety features, fuel economy, or technology

At Bill Walsh Streator's inventory, we offer a range of vehicles for you to explore and find your perfect match.

Step 2: Financing Your Car Purchase

Once you’ve chosen your ideal car, the next step is to arrange your financing. Here’s what you should know:

• Loan Options: You can secure financing through your bank or take advantage of financing options offered by the dealership
• Credit Score: Your credit score impacts your loan interest rate and terms
• Down Payment: Putting down a bigger down payment can lower your monthly payments and simplify the loan

At Bill Walsh Streator's Finance Center, our experts will help you find the best financing plan that fits your needs and budget

Step 3: Test Driving and Finalizing Your Deal

Now that you’ve arranged financing, the fun part—taking the car for a test drive—comes next! This is your chance to experience the vehicle firsthand and make sure it’s the right fit for you. Here’s what to expect:

• Test Drive: Take the car for a spin and pay attention to its comfort, handling, and features
• Negotiation: Once you’ve made your decision, negotiate the final price and complete all necessary paperwork.
• Closing the Deal: We’ll guide you through the final steps, including handling paperwork, warranties, and optional add-ons

At Bill Walsh Streator, our goal is to ensure a smooth transaction, supporting you every step of the way.
