After a long search, you’ve finally narrowed your new car choices to a handful of vehicles and now it’s time to start test driving those vehicles. Many people don’t realize how important the test drive is to your buying process. However, the test drive is where you get to try out each feature, as well as make important decisions about available features and seating options. We understand that is a lot to remember and compare, which is why we have created a checklist of tips and tricks to help you ensure you’re picking the right Volkswagen for you! So take a peek below to get started! Come Prepared Make sure you’ve done your research and know exactly what you’re looking for To prepare make sure you can answer these questions… What kind of space do you need? Do you feel like you have enough room? What kind of budget do you have? Once you’ve answered those questions, it’s time to find 2 or 3 vehicles that fit the criteria you’re looking for. Once you have done that be sure to schedule test drives for those vehicles Take Your Test Drive In Familiar Territory If the dealership is local this should be easy, if not, take it on the highway and down back roads/ neighborhood or area that is similar to your area. Make sure to test it both busy and light traffic, and be sure to park the car to see how different it is from your old vehicle. How Do You Feel About The Vehicle? First impressions can have a big impact on your decision making. Don’t just focus on the fun features the vehicle has, be sure to pay attention to how you feel inside the vehicle. A few things to ask yourself during your test should be… Can you see yourself driving this vehicle daily? Do you feel like you have enough room? Is it easy to get in and out of? Do you like the placement of the controls? Is it what you expected? Take A Seat In Every Seat Even if you’ll be spending most of your time in the driver’s seat, it’s important to try out the vehicle from every perspective...you wouldn’t want your passengers to be uncomfortable, right? Sit in the passenger seat, the back seat, fold down the second row, pop the trunk, look under the hood. Explore every different way the vehicle might be used to make sure that it will work for you and your needs. Test ALL Of The Features You might think you need the backup camera or other fun available features, but they won’t be worth it if you don’t know how to use them. Don’t be afraid to ask your sales consultant to show you how to use them and be sure to try them out on the road! Now that you have the information you need to make the most out of your next test drive, be sure to browse our available inventory and schedule your test drive today!

Your driver’s license: Your I.D. is proof that you are a legally registered driver, this is important since you have to drive off the lot. Your driver’s license is a way to identify that the check or another form of payment is actually yours, too. Your payment form: Whether it is a bank, credit union, or personal check, pre-approved loan, or any other payment form - be sure to bring it. If you are planning to put money towards a down payment you will need some way to pay for it. Proof of insurance: In order to drive your new vehicle off the lot, you will need proof of insurance. It’s a good idea to call your insurance company ahead of time and add the new vehicle to your existing policy. You’ll need the car’s VIN number to set this up. You can also call from the dealership and have them fax or email the insurance card to the dealership. Title/ Registration for your trade-in: If you are trading in a vehicle, be sure to bring the title. If you have a co-signer or a lien against the car, get the appropriate signature ahead of time. This part can be tricky and sometimes causes a hold-up. Give the dealership a call if you are unsure how to go about this. Also, you will need a copy of your current registration. Loan account number: If you are trading in a vehicle and still owe on your loan, bring the loan account number. This number is on one of your pay stubs. You can also call the lender beforehand and ask how to facilitate the transaction. Find Your Dream Ride Here!

Stage your car Just like selling your home, your vehicle should be as clean as you can get. Yes, dealers can tell if it is in good shape or not regardless of how clean it is but the better it looks could really go the extra mile when it comes to the offer price. Fix the dings You want to make the car look as new as possible and if that means spending a little money to get those dings on the exterior touched up it might be worth it if that means you’ll get more money back for your trade-in. Have Receipts handy Keeping records and receipts. If so, when the day arrives to finally trade your vehicle, you can show the dealer receipts for all the purchases and repair work done on the car. If the dealer questions the condition of a certain engine part or area of the car, you can back up your side with a receipt Do some Competitive Research Like I said before it is important to be informed before heading to the dealership Visit multiple websites and check the value of similar vehicles with the same mileage while monitoring e-commerce sites to follow your car model’s auction price Print all the information you find Look for promotions Offer on your trade-in can be affected by several factors, including current inventory and the likelihood the car will sell Don’t Settle Don’t agree to a deal if you don’t feel comfortable with it Test Drive A New Vehicle With Us!
