Before you get started on searching the vast inventory of new cars you can buy through AcceleRide®, the best thing to do is to set your budget. That way, you can focus your search on those cars you know fit within your reasonable range. To determine the maximum amount you are willing to spend on a new car, let’s go over a few expenses you will want to account for.

• Down Payment: Decide on the amount you can comfortably put down as a down payment. A larger down payment can reduce your monthly loan payments and overall interest costs.
• Monthly Payments: Calculate how much you can afford to spend on monthly loan payments. As a general rule of thumb, your monthly car payment should stay within 15 percent of your monthly take-home pay.
• Loan Term: Consider the length of the loan term. While longer terms may result in lower monthly payments, they often lead to higher overall interest costs. Choose a loan term that aligns with your financial goals and preferences.
• Other Car Expenses: Estimate ongoing operational costs such as fuel, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. Also, account for insurance and registration for your vehicle.

By carefully considering these factors, you can establish a realistic budget that aligns with your financial situation and goals. This will guide your car search and help you avoid financial strain in the long run.

Identifying your needs is a crucial step in finding the right new car, as it ensures that the vehicle you choose aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and practical requirements. Here are some detailed considerations to help you identify your needs:

• How many passengers will be riding in your car?
• What sort of cargo will you be traveling with?
• How much do you prioritize fuel efficiency?
• Is your driving typically in a city, spent on highways, or occasionally off-road?
• What tech and safety features do you want?

By carefully thinking through these aspects, you can create a checklist of features and specifications that align with your needs. This will guide your car search and help you find a vehicle that not only suits your current lifestyle but also accommodates potential future changes.
