The very first thought you should have in the process of buying your upcoming vehicle - why do you need a car? What are you using your next Mazda vehicle for, is it a simple daily commuter or do you need greater capabilities for multiple passengers? If you are exploring all sorts of terrain, then you’ll probably want to consider a rugged driver or SUV with extra cargo, like the Mazda CX-5. However, if you just need to get to work each day, then great fuel economy is likely one of your top priorities, so something like the Mazda 3 would be more your speed. You can explore the Hall Mazda online inventory and customize your search for inspiration if you’re still uncertain about how much you’ll need from your next car. Regardless, we have an option for any driver’s lifestyle and budget near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
New vs. Used
Another big decision our drivers make before finalizing a deal at Hall Mazda is whether they want to search our new car inventory or our used car inventory. This decision ultimately comes down to your priorities in a car, your personal preferences, and the budget you have for your first or next vehicle. We offer plenty of specials and incentives on both our new and pre-owned Mazda cars to make both options affordable, however, our used cars tend to still be less expensive because they come with some miles and are looking for a second chance on the road. New Mazda cars may be more expensive, on the other hand, but that also means more trim, color, and customization options for you to choose from on the lot. Don’t stress too much though; we provide inspections and offer warranties on both new and certified pre-owned cars to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride. Take your time finding a vehicle that fits your vision, and we’ll take the next step with you near Milwaukee, WI, when you’re ready!
When you’ve found the right car, the next step is determining what your car payment plan will be to ensure you are comfortable with financing a vehicle. The certified Hall Mazda finance center is staffed with a team of experienced auto financing professionals who can take you through the process of building and finalizing a Mazda payment plan that works for you. You can prepare in advance for this discussion by answering some of the questions below and determining a few key points before visiting us near Milwaukee, WI.
Budgeting
We want you to be able to generally estimate your down and monthly payments before you’re expected to make them, which is why it’s important to determine how much car you can afford. Our online tools like the auto payment calculator can help you factor in your down payment, loan term, and target interest rate (APR) to better determine what your monthly payments may be, with the ability to adjust until you feel confident about the numbers displayed. While this monthly payment is subject to change, this is a good way to get an understanding of the range you can afford per month without compromising on your Mazda automotive needs. You can, in addition, value your trade-in vehicle if you’re looking to purchase your next car and find out how much additional money you can put towards a down payment when you say goodbye to your old set of wheels.
Loan vs. Lease
Our most popular financing solutions near Milwaukee, WI, include traditional auto loans and flexible car leases. Each of these options has its pros and cons; while leases are excellent for those who want shorter terms so they upgrade to the latest car models, a loan offers total ownership of your Mazda vehicle allowing you to drive and customize your car to your heart’s content. Our auto financing experts at Hall Mazda are happy to answer any questions you have about either of these options before or during your visit to our dealership.
After you have selected your car and the financing plan that suits you, it’s time for the best part - the test drive! You can either use our online form or call our Milwaukee, WI area team directly to schedule your one-on-one time with the car. Or, visit us in person during open business hours to get started with one of our available auto specialists. Our test drives are tailored to your needs. After that, the only thing left to do is finalize your sale, and drive off in your new Mazda!
