How to Choose the Right Car in Morristown, TN

How to Find the Right Car for You

It can be daunting getting back into the buyer’s market, especially when you’re looking for a vehicle. A vehicle isn’t just something to flash around town, it’s vital to your day-to-day life. So how do you find the one that works the best for you and your lifestyle? The team at Rusty Wallace Hyundai has put together some helpful questions for you to get you connected to your perfect vehicle.

What Will I Be Using the Car For?

Besides the obvious reason, cars can be used for a variety of functions. Towing, off-roading, carpool, the list is endless. By answering what the main function will be, it will greatly narrow down the body style you should be looking for.

What Can I Reasonably Spend?

Let’s face it – cars can be pricey, whether they’re pre-owned or new. The best way to figure out what your budget should be is to determine what you can reasonably pay monthly. Auto loan calculators are a great tool for this, but you can also figure it out by keeping the monthly budget at or below 15 percent of your monthly take-home pay. And by filling out a form on our website, you can go ahead and get pre-approved for financing.

Is There a Feature I Can’t Live Without?

This question can seem vague, but let’s narrow it down:

• Do I need high towing capacity?
• Do I have messy kids/pets?
• Do I have trouble backing up and parking?

These are just a few questions you can ask yourself to figure out which features you absolutely need in your next vehicle.

Do I Want a Car for a Long Time or a Short Time?

If you trade in cars every few years then reliability ratings might not mean that much, but if you plan on driving this vehicle for a while, it’s probably something to take seriously. At Rusty Wallace Hyundai, we offer a wide variety of Hyundai vehicles that are well-loved for their reliability and performance.

Does It Feel Like a Good Match?

You won’t know it’s the right car until you try it for yourself. Once you think you’ve found the perfect car, take it out for a test drive. Getting a feel for how it operates and moves should be the determining factor.
