We’d be the last to discourage you if you’re eager to buy a Chevy SUV. However, it’s essential to prepare beyond picking a model and color. With these three tips from Phelps Chevrolet, you can make a good decision with your purchase.

Know What You Need

Let’s face it: When you see a gleaming row of Chevy SUVs, you could probably imagine any of them in your driveway. Since you can’t buy them all, you should consider what you want and need from your next vehicle.

Choosing a subcompact SUV may not be a great move if you have a sizable family. On the other hand, if it’s just you, selecting a three-row model might give you too much space. Consider the essential things to you, like tech, safety features, and good gas mileage, to narrow down your choices.

Get your Finances in Order

The next thing to do is focus on your finances. First, figure out how much money you have available immediately for a down payment; a trade-in vehicle could help contribute to this amount. Then, consider what you want to pay every month, taking care not to exceed 10 percent of your income for all expenses related to your vehicle.

Try Out Different Models

Once you know what you need and how much you can afford to spend, it’s time for the fun part: test drives. While two vehicles from the same model family may look similar, they offer different driving dynamics based on variables like their trim level or driveline. This is why you should take your time when out on the road to gauge the performance of each model to find a car that best suits you and your driving style.
