Step 1: Finding the Right Car for You

The first step in buying your car is research. With so many options available, it’s important to consider your needs. 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: 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 selected the vehicle of your choice, it’s time to figure out how to finance your purchase. 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 will play a role in determining your interest rate and loan 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, 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: Take the car for a spin and pay attention to its comfort, handling, and 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, our goal is to ensure a smooth transaction, supporting you every step of the way.
