New and Used Autos, Trucks, Boats, RV's and Motorcycles
Are you in the market for a new or used car, truck, boat, r.v.'s, motorcycle or van?
Well the first thing you have to do is make a list of your decisions:
- What do I want to buy?
- How much should I pay for it?
- Should I pay cash or finance it?
- Should I make a car loan or a second mortgage loan?
- Call the credit union for answers to your questions.
It used to be pretty easy to make a decision to buy a vehicle. There were fewer makes and models; even the choice of the color is a big decision. It's important you do your homework before shopping for a vehicle. Who will be driving it and what type of driving will be done (school, work, church, grocery, or long trips on highways)? Do you have children and need a larger vehicle for transportation? You may be used to transporting a large load so you will probably be looking for a truck. Make your decision on your normal daily driving, and if you are going on vacation it might be better to rent the vehicle you need for your vacation travel. This could save you money in the long run. This is also a good time to contact your insurance agent and find out your insurance costs. You must carry at least $500.00 deductible on collision for financing with PFCU.
