Buying your first vehicle is a big moment – and a big decision – in many people’s lives. This one shouldn’t be taken lightly, either. At Heritage | MileOne Autogroup, we’re outlining the questions to ask our dealers in Maryland when purchasing your first vehicle.

How Much Can I Spend?

Adding a vehicle to your expenses can be a significant investment, and it’s essential to consider your budget carefully. As a general rule, your auto payment and other transportation expenses like fuel, insurance, and maintenance shouldn’t exceed 20 percent of your take-home pay. Expenses include your auto insurance, maintenance, fuel, and more.

Can I Get Pre-Approved?

Getting pre-approved is an essential first step if you’re considering financing your vehicle. This can help you avoid surprises when it comes time to buy. You’ll get an estimate of your payments and rates, so you know what to expect.

Should I Buy a Used Car?

For many first-time car buyers, a pre-owned car is a better choice. They don’t cost as much or depreciate as quickly, which is beneficial if you’re shopping with a limited budget. We encourage you to peruse our pre-owned inventory to determine if that’s the best route for you.

Can I Take a Test Drive?

Whether this is your first car or 15th, we always recommend test-driving a car before buying. You want to see how it performs and if you feel comfortable driving it. Plus, you should test its features and technology to ensure it has everything you need.
