Questions to Ask a New MAZDA Dealer as a First-Time Buyer

At Mazda of Salem, our new Mazda dealer team works hard to put you at ease, so you can focus on picking out the perfect vehicle for the road ahead. The more you know about the Mazda purchasing process, the more confident and comfortable you’ll feel along the way. This is why the Mazda of Salem team is sharing a closer look at questions you’ll want to ask before you buy.

Should I Buy or Lease?

There are two main options when it comes to financing a vehicle: buying and leasing. There are advantages to both, like access to the newest models on the market when you lease and more financing options available when you buy. Your Mazda dealership team will help you find the perfect Mazda financing options for your budget.

Should I Purchase New or Pre-Owned?

There are many benefits to purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. Pre-owned vehicles come with significant savings and a lower rate of depreciation, so you’re more likely to see a higher percentage of your vehicle’s value returned when you go to sell or trade in. Our Mazda dealer team can help you determine if a new, pre-owned, or Mazda Certified Pre-Owned model is right for you.

What Fees Are Included?

When setting your budget, you want to account for the car’s MSRP, budgeting around your down payment, monthly payments, and interest. That said, there are a few other day-of payments that you’ll need to consider, including dealership and destination fees, title and registration, and sales tax. Make sure you know what additional fees you have to cover before you buy.

What Is the Warranty?

A vehicle warranty is in place to give you peace of mind. Mazda New Vehicle Limited Warranties and Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle warranties cover a wide range of Mazda parts and systems. Make sure you know what parts are covered for repairs or replacements before you buy.

What Specials Are Available?

Here at Mazda of Salem, you’ll find a range of new and pre-owned Mazda specials. These will help you to save on the models you love, with favorable financing options. Always check savings before you buy.
