Homer Skelton CDJRBuying your first car is an exciting milestone—and doing it during the summer can be a great decision. Whether you're a recent graduate, moving for a new job, or just ready for more independence, the summer months offer great inventory, dealer incentives, and perfect weather for test drives. At Homer Skelton CDJR, we’re here to make your first car-buying experience simple, transparent, and even fun.
1. Know Your Needs (and Wants)
Before you visit the dealership, make a list of must-haves vs. nice-to-haves. Think about how you’ll use the car—daily commuting, weekend road trips, hauling gear? Consider fuel efficiency, size, and safety features. We can help you match your lifestyle to the right model.
2. Set a Realistic Budget
First-time buyers often focus on the sticker price—but there’s more to think about. Insurance, fuel, maintenance, and taxes can all add to the monthly cost. We’re happy to walk you through the full picture, including dealership-exclusive offers and warranty protection plans that can save you money.
3. Explore Financing Options
Not sure if you should lease or buy? Don’t worry—we’ll explain both. At Homer Skelton CDJR, we work with first-time buyers all the time and offer competitive financing with flexible options. If you’re just starting to build credit, our finance team can help you find a solution that works.
4. Schedule a Test Drive
This is your chance to get behind the wheel and see how the car feels. Does it handle well? Is it comfortable? Can you see yourself in it every day? We’ll guide you through what to look for during your test drive, no pressure—just honest advice.
5. Ask Questions—We’re Here to Help
Our goal is to help you feel confident and excited about your decision. We’ll explain every step, every fee, and every feature so there are no surprises.
