Spring is finally here, which means warmer weather and more opportunities for making the most of the outdoors. If you are like many people, then many of your springtime events will take place because of your car and the mobility it provides.

Whether you are preparing for a road trip or simply want to be ready for anything, here are three things you’ll need to get your used car ready for spring fun:

Blanket or Chair (or Both)

You never know when you’ll find a park that you just need to pull over to for a nap or to read a book. Spring is all about spontaneity, right? So we always recommend having a blanket or a chair in your car so that you can sit, relax, and enjoy the spring weather whenever the opportunity arrives.

Wanna be sure you can actually see that park when it comes up? Make sure you have your used car regularly cleaned. Check your windshield wipers, too, so that you can see through down pours and so that they do not leave annoying streaks on your car after the rain.

Frisbee or Ball

Get out and enjoy the wonderful weather with a little sporting fun. We recommend always carrying a Frisbee or ball (or your choice of outdoor toy) with you wherever you go. You may also want to pack some sneakers so that you can go for a walk or hike at the drop of a hat.

Ask us about storage units that we can install in your car. We have a wide range of accessories that can help you keep your sporting equipment hidden in your trunk or securely stored out of site. We also can equip your car with a roof rack to store larger items, such as a bike or kayak.

Miscellaneous

No matter what your lifestyle is, there are some miscellaneous items that you probably should always have on hand during the spring. These include sunglasses, hand sanitizer, Chap Stick, lotion, sun screen, and a few others that you probably already have in mind. We can get you some customized storage units for these as well, including storage units for your console or back seat passengers. If you’re more of a music person than anything else, ask us about our music-related accessories and upgrades, including speaker systems, iPod connectors, and more

Don’t forget to also regularly maintain your car so that you can spend more time having fun this spring than in the car shop. Stop on by today or check us out online at www.big4motors.com  to have a car inspection to make sure that your used  car is physically ready for the spring!

If you are looking for a car loan, then it’s important that you are aware that the process of getting a car loan can be simple, but it’s not as simple as walking into a dealership, asking for a loan, and walking out with exactly the loan you want and exactly the car you’d been dreaming of. While it would be great it getting a car loan were that hands-free and easy, there are a few things you’ll need to do in order to get the right car loan at the right time.

First, you’ll need to complete a credit application. In order to complete this application, you’ll need to have some basic personal information on hand, including your current address, employer information (if applicable), and social security number. You’ll need to complete the credit application as completely as possible.

Once you complete this credit application, your lender at the dealership will review the application in order to determine what kind of loan you may qualify for. Therefore, the information that you include on the application is important – especially your identification information, such as your social security number.

Our lenders will also run a credit check using you contact information. This credit check will give us more information about your credit history and your credit score. Using this credit history and credit score, we will be able to determine your loan rate with better accuracy. For example, if you have a good credit score, you might get a lower loan interest rate than someone with a low credit score.

After we review your paperwork and draw up some initial loan estimates, we’ll meet with you to discuss your options and needs. We might ask about your current work or plans for the future. Using this information, we’ll be able to customize a loan program that will specifically suit your needs and make it even more possible for you to afford the right kind of loan for the car you love.

We will then show you the cars on our lot that match the price that you will be able to easily afford with the loan program we develop for you. Our goal is to give you as many options as possible so that you can get the best possible loan and arrangement for your overall needs.
