Buying a Car Online | Clifton, NJ
There are
many advantages to visiting a car dealership when you are researching your next
vehicle purchase. In addition to being able to test drive different models,
you’re also able to get a sense of the personality of who you will buy from,
and you get to take advantage of the vast knowledge of the sales staff.
However, the process can be time consuming. Garden State Honda knows your time is valuable, and we want to make this process as pain-free as possible. That’s why we offer an easy online buying process.
4-Step
Buying Guide:
1.
Browse Upgrades
Click the “Buy Online” button on any vehicle to begin the sales
process. Safeguard your new purchase and avoid unexpected and costly repairs by
choosing protection packages for your vehicle. You can also add on popular
products such as GAP insurance, extended service
contracts, and more.
2.
Estimate Trade-In
Have a vehicle to trade in? We use Kelley Blue Book to value the
trade of your leased or owned vehicle and get you an instant estimate, which
can then be applied to your purchase.
If you
don’t have a vehicle, simply select the “No trade in” option.
3.
Choose Payment Options
Design a payment that’s right for you with the payment
calculator tool. First, select between financing, leasing, or paying cash in
full for your vehicle. You can then adjust the terms of your monthly payments,
down payment, lease or finance term, and mileage (if applicable) to a plan
tailored to you. Then enter your billing information, income information,
credit information, and co-buyer information, if applicable.
4.
Review Your Order
Finally, review your order to ensure all the details and
information you entered is correct. Click “Order” to
complete. Your order will be sent to the dealership, where upon approval we’ll
complete the transaction. You’ll receive an email confirmation shortly
afterwards containing your purchase details.
Frequently Asked
Questions
When can I test drive
the vehicle?
Your purchase is always
subject to your approval of both the vehicle and the transaction details.
Pick out the car you
want and use the Buy Online shopping cart to make sure it fits your budget.
Your completion step will include the option to pick up the vehicle. Whether
you complete your test drive in advance or do it as a final step, you'll always
drive the vehicle prior to finishing the delivery process.
Can I call someone to assist
me with the buying process?
Absolutely! You can
call us at 973-777-1600 and request to speak to a manager. The manager will work up your deal right over
the phone!
Is delivery available
if I live or work far away?
No – Currently we do
not have the capacity to accommodate this request.
Am I required to give a
deposit or make a down payment to complete my purchase or lease arrangement
online?
No. You can complete a
purchase or lease arrangement online without money down. Many of our customers
choose to do financing or leasing with no money at all. In the event you decide
to use a down payment, you can do that at delivery and our staff will guide you
through payment options.
How does the trade-in
of my old car work?
We use the third-party
independent valuation calculator provided by Kelley Blue Book. You'll enter
your vehicle info and select "Very Good", "Good" or
"Fair" based on the description of each condition. You'll immediately
be presented with the actual cash value of your trade-in that you can apply to
your vehicle purchase or lease. Prior to delivery - our Vehicle Specialist will
confirm your trade-in details. We'll verify the amount owed (if applicable).
Our experience has been that our customer's trade descriptions and the
calculated values are quite accurate. We'll inspect your vehicle either prior
to or at delivery. Our customers are generally good about letting us know of
any concerns so that we can make sure the transaction meets expectations. If
for any reason the Actual Cash Value offered for your trade-in appears
inaccurate or if you have any questions, please let us know and we'll review
the details for you. A final trade in value must always include a vehicle
inspection by one of our trained professionals before a final cash value can be
reached.
What about financing,
rates and terms?
When you select a
credit-score range, you immediately see your payment, rate and term. We have
dozens of lenders and programs that compete for your business. Once submitted,
we find an approval that works for you. Buying online doesn’t always ensure
your automatically approved however. Approval is validated by the banks after
the specific information you provided is submitted.
