Researching is one of the best parts of buying a car because you get to browse all of the innovative new vehicles on the market today. Remember to keep your must-haves in mind throughout your search, and stick to the body style you selected. Look for any other features you’d like to have as well (for instance, a premium audio system, a backup camera, ambient lighting or a hands-free power liftgate). You can use comparison tools on manufacturer websites and our 2023 Nissan research page to determine what makes and models might work for you. Don’t forget to also check out safety ratings from a reliable third-party source!

Making a budget isn’t always fun, but it is a crucial part of knowing what cars you can afford. Financing or leasing is less intimidating when you have a solid budget in mind, and thankfully, the experts at our finance center will take even more stress off your shoulders when you visit us. With many years of experience helping customers, they’re well-prepared to help you. Our team recommends placing 20 percent down and limiting your loan term to 60 months or less, if possible. Also, try to keep your monthly payments below 10 percent of your monthly income, and don’t forget to factor in annual maintenance costs and insurance payments. Of course, these are general guidelines, and things may change depending on your credit score and history. When you meet with our team, they’ll make suggestions with your specific budget and goals in mind.
