I had the opportunity to be helped by Richard Passananti today to purchase my first vehicle! He was the most patient and kind person! He didn't mind me changing my mind and gave me tons of advice for the car!

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I buy a car with no credit history?

Often, yes. Our finance team works with lenders that offer first-time buyer programs. Approval and terms depend on the lender.

How much should I put down?

It depends on the car and the lender. Many first-time buyers put down 10 percent or more to lower the payment. We will show you options.

Does pre-qualifying hurt my credit?

No. The pre-qualification is a soft inquiry and does not affect your credit score.

Do I need insurance before I drive home?

Yes. You need active insurance on the car. We can help you get quotes before your visit.
