Step 1: Finding the Right Car for You

Before you make your decision, the first thing you need to do is research. With so many options available, it’s essential to identify your preferences. Think about the following:

• Vehicle Type: Consider whether you want a compact car, an SUV, or a spacious family vehicle.
• 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: Understanding Your Car Financing Options

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

• Loan Options: Explore financing options available through your bank or directly at the dealership.
• Credit Score: Your credit score will play a role in determining your interest rate and loan terms
• Down Payment: A larger down payment can help reduce monthly payments and make the loan more manageable

At Bill Walsh Streator's Finance Center, we are committed to helping you secure the best financing plan for your car purchase.

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 your chance to experience the vehicle firsthand and make sure it’s the right fit for you. Here’s what to expect:

• Test Drive: During the test drive, focus on comfort, handling, and the vehicle’s features.
• Negotiation: Once you’re satisfied, it’s time to finalize the price and complete 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 ensure a smooth and easy transaction, guiding you through every step of the process
