Used Car Buying FAQ
Which Used Car Brand Should I Buy?
We are
partial to our selection of used Subaru cars
and SUVs in Georgetown, TX because the brand holds its value
well and are often seen running the roads with well over 200,000 miles
on the odometer. Other quality options are our selection of used Toyota
models or Pre-Owned Ford
vehicles.
Do Used Car Dealers Sell Lemons?
How Can I Be Sure I'm Getting a Quality Model?
Each
used vehicle we carry on our lot has been carefully inspected by our
Subaru service center in
Georgetown, TX to ensure it meets our high standards for quality. We
never sell a product that we believe to be subpar or unworthy of our
customers, and you can rely on us to go the distance to ensure your
satisfaction and needs are met.
Can a Used Car Be
Leased?
Used cars are only eligible for auto loans,
since a lease refers to a brand-new model. With a lease, you're getting a
new car every few years when your lease ends, but with a used
Subaru auto loan, you either own it outright when the loan is
paid, or you trade it in for another model using that vehicle towards
the final value of your new vehicle.
What Are My
Available Financing Terms? How Long Should I Have a
Loan?
In many cases, you can finance your used car
for up to 84 months, with a 72-month and 60-month loan being rather
popular in Georgetown, TX. When considering these options, take into
account how much your APR will be over these months, then give thought
to keeping the loan at a reasonable length to avoid paying too much in
interest over the life of the loan.
What Should I
Look for in a Used Car?
When shopping for a pre-owned car or SUV near
you, consider what model suits your overall lifestyle. A driver
interested in commuting solo might not need an eight-passenger minivan
in Georgetown, TX, while a driver who needs to seat six won't want to
look at vehicles that cannot accommodate this many passengers. Next,
look at the features. Do you have a list of features that your next used
vehicle must have? Knowing what your dealbreakers are is key to finding
the right vehicle. Next, you'll want to consider how much you can
afford, which is where your credit score and down payment comes into
play, but don't forget to factor in tax, if applicable. At the end of
the day, it's up to you to decide how used Subaru cars
compare to others on the market.
What Are
My Used Car Down Payment Options?
We accept cash or
credit/debit cards, as long as the Mastercard or Visa logo is on the
card. How much you put down depends on your credit, the vehicle chosen,
and what you feel you can afford at the time.
What
Should I Expect When Buying a Used Car?
Once you've
taken a test drive and decided which car you'd like to bring home, our
financing team will require a few things from
you:
- Proof of residency to establish that
you live where you say you do.
- The title of your
current vehicle, but if you are still paying on a loan, we can reach out
to the company who is financing your loan and speak with them. Having
your payoff amount is always helpful when
negotiating.
- Your driver's license is a must-have
when buying a used car
- Proof of
insurance
- Know your credit score and history - this
will determine your APR and down payment amount
- Have
money for a down payment
- A list of references in
case the lenders want one
Are Used Car
Prices Falling?
While used cars are already priced
affordably, there has been a drop in their price recently. There are a
lot of reasons for this trend, but due to this, you can take advantage
of better prices than ever right here in Georgetown,
TX.
Are Used Car Prices
Negotiable?
Absolutely! We expect some haggling when
the time comes to discuss paying for your next used vehicle, and that's
why many cars are priced accordingly. When you look at the KBB value of a
vehicle, there is a specific price range it will offer for the vehicle,
and that takes into account that you'll be working to finance your
vehicle on your terms.
Which Used Car Should I

There are many answers to this question, and it
depends on your taste and budget. When you compare Subaru models to
other used cars on our lot, you'll see a big difference in their overall

SUVs to the competition right here on our website so you can
save time before your test drive.
