If you’ve decided to put your tax refund toward a new ride, you may now be ready for the fun part – car shopping.1
Here are a few tips to help you get the right vehicle with the best deal.
1. Research online
Begin by looking at what vehicle or vehicles will meet your needs as well as work with your budget.2 Browse the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, Wagoneer, Alfa Romeo and FIAT® lineups to explore different models, check out specifications then locate your nearest dealership to view inventory that could help with your decisions.
2. Consider new and preowned
As you shop, keep both new and preowned vehicles in mind to give yourself the greatest choice of vehicles and price points when making a purchase.
3. Think about leasing
Leasing may be your preferred option if you wish to drive the very latest model and change vehicles again in a few years’ time. Lease payments are typically lower than when purchasing the same or a similarly equipped vehicle, too.
4. Prequalify for financing
If you’re taking the purchase route, see if you prequalify for financing and get options for an FCA US car, truck or SUV that interests you. The short Chrysler Capital prequalification step takes just minutes to complete and there’s no impact on your credit score.
5. View our offers
Don’t miss out on the latest deals. Chrysler Capital brings eligible buyers and lessees money-saving incentives during tax season and throughout the year so take a look at the current offers on new FCA US models. Once at the dealership, remember to ask your dealer about the best incentives available to you to ensure you take full advantage of our offering.
