A Complete Guide to the Car Buying Process

Step 1: How to Research Your Vehicle Options

The first step in buying your car is research. With so many options available, it’s essential to identify your preferences. Think about the following:

• Vehicle Type: Is a compact car, SUV, or a larger family car more suitable for your needs?
• Budget: Determine your budget and how much you’re comfortable spending
• Features: Make a list of must-have features like safety ratings, fuel efficiency, or advanced tech

At Bill Walsh Streator's inventory, you can browse various models to find one that fits your preferences

Step 2: How to Finance Your Car Purchase

Once you’ve chosen your ideal car, the next step is to arrange your financing. Here’s what you should know:

• Loan Options: Financing can be secured through your bank or dealership financing
• Credit Score: Your credit score affects the interest rate and terms you will receive for your loan.
• Down Payment: A larger down payment can help reduce monthly payments and make the loan more manageable

At Bill Walsh Streator's Finance Center, our team of experts will guide you to the best financing option based on your needs and financial situation

Step 3: The Test Drive and Finalizing Your Purchase

Now that you’ve arranged financing, the fun part—taking the car for a test drive—comes next! This is the perfect opportunity to try the car out and ensure it’s the right choice. Here’s what to expect:

• Test Drive: Drive the car to assess its comfort, handling, and key features
• Negotiation: Once you’ve made your decision, negotiate the final price and complete all necessary paperwork.
• Closing the Deal: Our team will walk you through the final steps, including any paperwork, warranties, or add-ons

At Bill Walsh Streator, we make sure your purchase is hassle-free, assisting you with every part of the process
