Car Buying FAQs

Congratulations! You’ve decided it’s time to upgrade your Albany, Leesburg, and Tifton, GA, travels with a new car. Unsure where to start on this exciting journey? The team at BMW of Albany is here to help.

We’ve created this car buying FAQ guide to help you get from wanting to buy a new car to taking the driver’s seat. Let’s get started!

How Do I Know Which Car is Right for Me?

There are several makes, models, and body styles to choose from. Do you want vegan leather or genuine leather upholstery? How much advanced technology do you want to aid you in your travels? These are some of the questions you’ll likely face when buying a car.

Asking yourself these questions can help you create a must-have list:

• How much room do I need in my car?
• Do I want something sporty, casual, or both?
• How often do I use technology when I drive?

Reading car reviews and comparisons is a great way to quickly identify the model that aligns with your vehicle must-have list.

Should I Buy New, Pre-Owned, or Certified Pre-Owned?

There’s no wrong way to buy a car. Each offers several benefits, so choosing the type of car you buy simply depends on your needs.

New vs. Pre-Owned vs. Certified Pre-Owned:

• New: You create the vehicle’s history and can enjoy all the new-car benefits, like warranty and potential maintenance coverage.
• Pre-owned: You potentially have more vehicle options and could enjoy cost-saving benefits, like lower monthly payments and reduced insurance costs.
• Certified pre-owned: You get to enjoy the benefits of both new and pre-owned thanks to benefits like extended warranty coverage and potentially lower monthly payments.
