First-Time Buyer FAQ: What You Need to Know
We know that as a first-time buyer, you might have a few questions. Here are some of the ones we hear most often — and our answers!
How much should I spend on my first vehicle?
There’s no universal answer, but a good rule of thumb is to choose a payment plan that fits comfortably within your monthly budget. At Maguire’s Ford, we’re committed to helping you find a vehicle that meets your financial goals and lifestyle preferences.
How do I choose my first car, truck or SUV?
Start by identifying your budget and the kind of driving you’ll be doing most—commuting, weekend travel, hauling, etc. Consider whether a sedan, SUV, or truck best suits your needs, and make a list of must-have features. From there, our team is happy to walk you through your options and set you up with test drives to help narrow your decision.
Should my first car be new or used?
This decision depends on your preferences and your budget. A brand-new car gives you the latest features and peace of mind, while a used car can be a more affordable option without sacrificing quality.
At Maguire’s Ford, you can explore both new Ford vehicles and a variety of dependable pre-owned models. No matter what you decide, we’ll help you find a vehicle you love at a price you can feel good about.
