What to Expect During Your Car Buying Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

At Bill Walsh Streator, we’re here to make your car buying experience seamless and worry-free. Whether you’re buying your very first vehicle or upgrading your current vehicle, our team is dedicated to walking you through each stage to ensure that your experience is smooth and enjoyable.

Step 1: Researching Your Vehicle Options

Before you make your decision, the first thing you need to do 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: 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: How to Finance 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: 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 your chance to experience the vehicle firsthand and make sure it’s the right fit for you. 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.
