Buying Your First Car at St. Cloud Toyota


Our cars tell more about us than we sometimes realize. Besides getting us from point A to point B, they tell a story about our lifestyle, our families, and the things we hold important. Besides being a statement of sorts, your first vehicle from our selection of new and used cars is an investment, which is why St Cloud Toyota puts a lot of thought and effort into helping you get it right. 


Research 


With so many things to consider — size, cost, budget, and how you’ll use this vehicle day-to-day — your choice of model shouldn’t be your first consideration. Instead, start by asking the important questions, and letting their answers guide you. 


  • Where are you driving? How far, and for how long? 

  • Are you a homebody, or do you like taking a lot of road trips? 

  • Is this car meant to get you to work, or does it, too, need to earn its keep? 

  • Do your work or your hobbies find you frequently carrying a lot with you? 

  • Who’s along for the ride? Are you driving solo, or bringing family and friends? 

  • What does your budget look like? What about your credit? 


Having thought through the scenarios and the numbers, you’re better equipped to start your car-buying journey, picking a body style, make, model, and the kinds of amenities that matter to you. 


Test Drive 


Specifics help you and us alike. If you know you need a compact SUV, for instance, we can guide you to a new Toyota RAV4. However, if you’re buying used, you may also need to compare multiple model years even of the same trim, since features change and evolve over time. A Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicle will give you more options than picking from our inventory of used cars under $10,000. 


Finance 


If your credit is excellent, it’s easier to qualify for a Toyota lease or loan. We know, however, that a lot of first-time car buyers are still in the process of building credit, or playing catch-up after running up enormous credit card bills in college. St. Cloud Toyota works with multiple lenders, so we have a better-than-average range of used car finance options available; these can help you build, or rebuild, credit as long as your payments are on time.
