Purchasing a car might feel overwhelming, but at Bill Walsh Streator, we simplify the process for you. Whether you’re getting behind the wheel of your first car or upgrading your current vehicle, we’ll guide you through each step to ensure that your experience is smooth and enjoyable.

Step 1: Finding the Right Car for You

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

  • Vehicle Type: Consider whether you want a compact car, an SUV, or a spacious family vehicle.
  • Budget: Establish your budget and decide how much you’re willing to spend
  • Features: List the features you absolutely need, such as safety features, fuel economy, or technology

At Bill Walsh Streator's inventory, we offer a range of vehicles for you to explore and find your perfect match.

Step 2: Financing Your Car Purchase

After picking the car you want, the next step is securing financing. Here’s what you should know:

  • Loan Options: You can secure financing through your bank or take advantage of financing options offered by the dealership
  • Credit Score: Your credit score impacts your loan interest rate and terms
  • Down Payment: Putting down a bigger down payment can lower your monthly payments and simplify the loan

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: Test Drive and Closing the Deal

After securing financing, it’s time for the fun part: the test drive This is your chance to test the vehicle and see if it suits your needs. Here’s what to expect:

  • Test Drive: Take the car for a spin and pay attention to its comfort, handling, and features
  • Negotiation: When you’re happy with the car, you’ll move forward to negotiating the price and handling the paperwork
  • Closing the Deal: Our team is here to help you finalize the deal, including paperwork and any additional warranties or add-ons.
