The thrill of buying your very first car only comes once in life. That excitement can be tempered, however, if you don’t know how to go about doing so. That’s why the team at Sansone Kia has put together a list of tips for you to make the experience as easy as possible in Avenel, NJ.

• Plan a budget: You need to determine a budget for your purchase and stick to it. There’s no wiggle room here, so don’t think you can spend $5,000 more than what you have budgeted for.
• Research: There are plenty of options when it comes to researching a vehicle. You can use the Kelley Blue Book, visit the dealership, talk to other car owners, and more. Don’t limit yourself to one source.
• Build a list of vehicles: Build your list of vehicles that you realistically can buy. This includes your budget and your driving needs.
• Go for a test drive: Don’t ever buy a vehicle without taking it for a test drive. The test drive helps you get a feel for how the vehicle handles and helps you determine how safe you feel behind the wheel.
• Apply for financing: It’s always best to finance a vehicle purchase. That way you don’t have to pay for it entirely out of pocket. Most car loans last no longer than six years, so make sure the monthly payments fit into your overall budget.
• Sign the papers: Once you’ve taken a test drive, or two, you can sign the paperwork. Read through it carefully and make sure there are no questions.

The experienced technicians at Sansone Kia are here to prepare your 2018 Kia Forte or Kia Sorento for the summer season in Avenel, NJ. Whether you are scheduled for routine maintenance or need to have something looked at, our techs are ready to help you get back on the road in as little time as possible. You don’t want to head out for summer vacation or a day trip and find yourself waiting for a tow because of a dead battery or overheated engine.

Speaking of the battery; it should be checked every couple of months. This doesn’t mean that you will need to have it replaced, but it’s a good idea to have it looked at by a trained technician. Batteries can die throughout the year, not just during the brutal winters here in New Jersey. That’s why you need to have it inspected on a regular basis to see if there is still enough juice left in it before you head out on a long trip this summer.

Another service you should consider is getting your light bulbs replaced. The headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals all need to be working properly at all times. This even means that they should be of proper brightness. When these lights are not bright enough, it can be difficult for other vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists to see your vehicle.

Aside from the battery and lights, you also need to have your tires rotated at least every 5,000 miles. A tire rotation will help prevent uneven wear on your treads, which can lead to a short lifespan for the tires and more money out of your wallet.

How about an oil change? Have you had one recently? After the winter we just had in Avenel, NJ, it might be a good idea to change the oil. Even if you aren’t due just yet, fresh oil can improve the way your car runs. Stop by our Kia service center today for these services and more.
