When you need to buy a car, it’s good to prepare before showing up at the dealership ready for the keys to a new ride. Before you sit down for a serious talk with our Metro Detroit, MI, Chevy dealers at James Martin Chevrolet, it’s important to know what to ask and what to expect. Here are some suggestions for what to ask a dealer at our dealership.

What Is the Sticker Price?

While it might seem obvious, getting clear on the sticker price or MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) first thing will make everything else go smoother. Instead of spending time looking at a car that doesn’t fit your budget, you can get an upfront idea of the price of each new Chevy for sale that includes the vehicle, trim level, optional packages, and features.

How Many Miles Does It Have on It?

If you’re buying used, be sure to ask about the car’s mileage. Lower mileage usually means less is taken off the car’s original showroom price. But other factors such as years since the car was built, whether the car has been in an accident, and current market value also affect the car’s price.

Are Service Records Available?

Again, if you are thinking about buying a used Chevy car or Chevy truck then service records will help you know what to expect from the car. Vehicles that haven’t received consistent service may have a shorter lifespan and can develop issues over time. A CarFax® report will often include service records if they are available.

Is Financing an Option?

We offer Chevy financing options that work with any budget or credit history. Inquiring about financing options before committing to a car will give you a better idea of what the final price will look like. That helps you estimate which car fits your budget.

What Incentives, Specials, or Offers are Currently Available?

Whenever you’re visiting a dealership, don’t hesitate to ask about the latest dealership specials and manufacturer incentives. We offer new and used car specials, alongside an exclusive GM First Responder Discount.
