Questions to Ask When Buying A Car | Canton GA | Near Alpharetta & the greater Atlanta area

Buying your first car? If so, congratulations! You're about to make a big investment, but don't be scared. Your vehicle is important since you'll likely spend a good deal of time driving it. Here at Cherokee County Toyota, we aim to keep customers informed about car ownership, so we've created a list of questions to ask yourself and our dealership when buying a car for the first time.

Why do I need the car?

The first question to ask yourself is why you need a car. If you have recently landed a new job and need a vehicle for commuting, you might want to consider a car with great gas mileage. Perhaps you're a college student who is more interested in features like a sunroof than gas mileage. Make sure you know what you want in a vehicle before beginning your search.

What are my must-haves?

Before you shop for a car, consider what your needs are. If you're going to be raising a family in the near future, maybe extra space and a safe, dependable car are must-haves. If you live in a big city and will be parallel parking often, maybe you need a rearview camera.

How much can I afford?

This is one of the most important questions to answer before buying a car. You should set a realistic budget and stick to it.

May I see a copy of the car's history report?

If you decide on buying a used car, you should always ask about the vehicle's accident history. Ideally, the dealer will provide both an AutoCheck and CARFAX report so you'll know about potentially serious issues that the car may have.
