The Heritage | MileOne Autogroup network of dealerships is your top source for Baltimore used cars. If you're worried that you won't be able to afford it, don't be. Our tips can help you budget for a used car purchase.
Use Our Online Tools
Using our online tools is one of the best ways to figure out how a used car can fit into your budget. Our payment calculators can allow you to see how much you would pay each month for a used car depending on the price of the vehicle, your down payment size, the length of the loan term, and the interest rate. You can change these different parameters and see how that affects the affordability of a vehicle.
Separate Features Into “Wants” and “Needs”
It's important to figure out which features are an absolute necessity when you're buying a used car. If something like all-wheel drive or heated seats is essential to you, take the time to find a car that fits into your budget while offering these features. If you can't find a used car that offers certain features within your budget, think carefully about whether or not you need that Wi-Fi hotspot or leather upholstery.
Remember Other Car Ownership Costs
When you're budgeting for a car, remember that the cost of the car itself is not the only ownership cost that needs to be factored in when you're considering how much you can afford.
You also have to think about fuel costs, which can vary based on current economic conditions and how efficient your vehicle is. You have to consider insurance premiums, which can also vary widely based on what coverage you need and what kind of vehicle you end up buying. Finally, there are maintenance and repair costs to think about.
