Questions to ask Yourself Before Making a Vehicle Purchase

Buying a new car or vehicle is a huge investment. Your car ferries you to work, delivers your children to school, safely allows you to travel to marvelous destinations, assists you in weekly shopping trips, and so much more. In so many ways, your vehicle becomes an extension of yourself. Melloy Dodge understands the important role that your car plays in your life, and wants to make sure that you select the right Dodge model for you and your family. We always encourage our customers to ask our knowledgeable sales staff as many questions as they like, but we also want to encourage you to ask yourself some important questions.

What will you be using your new car for?

Of course, different Dodge models are ideal for different tasks. For example, a Dodge Durango is better suited to outdoor adventure enthusiasts and off road utility, while some of our other models are better adapted for commuting and trips around town, like the Dodge Dart. Be sure to carefully consider what design is best for the tasks you need your new car to perform, and which of our line of great vehicles will be best suited to those needs.

Who’s going to be using the car?

Will you be sharing your new car with a partner? Transporting your children? Or maybe transporting an elderly friend or family member? It is important to consider the unique needs of everyone who will be using your new Dodge regularly. A sporty Dodge Viper, for example, is great for jetting around Albuquerque, but it isn’t ideal for transporting the kids and their friends to soccer practice. If you’re going to be running a lot of errands with a big family, a Dodge Caravan is more suited to your needs.

What features do you want and need?

Do you take a lot of road trips and value having a built-in navigation system? Or maybe you plan on taking a lot of trips into the Sandias and other mountains in the areas this winter and would like heated seats to keep you cozy. Whatever extras you value in a vehicle, make sure you outline them ahead of time and don’t walk away from our dealership one of our innovative new Dodge vehicles that has all of the features that make your ride worthwhile.

What will you need in the future?

Shifting economy, fluctuating gas prices, and more mean that most consumers don’t change their vehicles too frequently. Buying a new car is a long-term investment. At Melloy Dodge we understand that it is important to make the right decision every time you purchase, that’s how we have developed base of lifelong customers. Our Dodge cars and RAM trucks employ design that never goes out of style, and are built to last a lifetime.
