Buying a car can seem daunting, but at Bill Walsh Streator, we make the process easy and stress-free. Whether you’re buying your very first vehicle or upgrading your old car, we’re here to guide you through every step to ensure that you have an effortless car-buying experience.

Step 1: Researching Your Vehicle Options

Start your car-buying journey by doing thorough 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: 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, you’ll find a diverse selection of vehicles that match your needs

Step 2: Financing 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: You can secure financing through your bank or take advantage of financing options offered by the dealership
  • 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, 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 the perfect opportunity to try the car out and ensure it’s the right choice. Here’s what to expect:

  • Test Drive: During the test drive, focus on comfort, handling, and the vehicle’s features.
  • Negotiation: Once you’ve made your decision, negotiate the final price and complete all necessary paperwork.
  • Closing the Deal: We’ll guide you through the final steps, including handling paperwork, warranties, and optional add-ons

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