Whether you’re buying your very first vehicle or upgrading the one you’re currently driving, our team is dedicated to walking you through each stage to ensure that your experience is smooth and enjoyable.

Step 1: Researching Your Vehicle Options

Before you make your decision, the first thing you need to do is research. With so many options available, it’s important to consider your needs. Think about the following:

• Vehicle Type: Consider whether you want a compact car, an SUV, or a spacious family vehicle.
• Budget: Know your financial limits and how much you’re ready to spend on your new vehicle.
• Features: Make a list of must-have features like safety ratings, fuel efficiency, or advanced tech

At Bill Walsh Streator's inventory, you’ll find a diverse selection of vehicles that match your needs

Step 2: Understanding Your Car Financing Options

After picking the car you want, the next step is securing financing. Here’s what you should know:

• Loan Options: Financing can be secured through your bank or dealership financing
• Credit Score: Your credit score will play a role in determining your interest rate and loan terms
• Down Payment: Putting down a bigger down payment can lower your monthly payments and simplify the loan

At Bill Walsh Streator's Finance Center, our experts will help you find the best financing plan that fits your needs and budget

Step 3: The Test Drive and Finalizing Your Purchase

Now that you’ve arranged financing, the fun part—taking the car for a test drive—comes next! This is the perfect opportunity to try the car out and ensure it’s the right choice. Here’s what to expect:

• Test Drive: Take the car for a spin and pay attention to its comfort, handling, and features
• Negotiation: Once you’ve made your decision, negotiate the final price and complete all necessary paperwork.
• Closing the Deal: We’ll guide you through the final steps, including handling paperwork, warranties, and optional add-ons

At Bill Walsh Streator, our goal is to ensure a smooth transaction, supporting you every step of the way.
