5 Reasons Why NOW Is the Right Time to Buy a New Truck

If you’re interested in buying a new pickup or another type of truck, you’re probably wondering when to buy it. Perhaps you’ve had your eye on a vehicle for years. You’ve picked out an attractive gray color, and added floor mats and tailgate ladders to your imaginary accessories cart. You’ve even cleaned out your garage in anticipation. However, you may not have planned to have spent most of this year in quarantine due to a global pandemic. With COVID-19 affecting the global economy, you may think it’s terrible timing to have a shiny new truck in your driveway. However, it’s actually the perfect time to buy a new vehicle.

 

You can take advantage of better prices, more extended loan periods, and a variety of sales. With the money left over from all these savings, you can invest in an accessory for your truck or buy a garage mat to keep your garage floor and your vehicle in the best shape. Are you still wondering if this is the best time to purchase your new truck? Here are a few reasons not to wait to make your purchase.

 

You can get an extended warranty.

Yes, you can get more value from a warranty if you buy your truck now. A basic warranty is usually valid for around three years from the date of purchase. However, it’s an excellent time to find a dealership or company that offers an extended warranty on new trucks. For example, if you buy a vehicle from the Isuzu F Series, you can get a bonus extended warranty for five years. And you can also get other benefits like roadside assist and free servicing options. Remember to do your research so you can make the best choice.

 

Accessories are well-priced.

From garage mats and garage doors to tools and dash cams, you can get everything at a better price now. You can get a new vehicle and get the best accessories and tools for it. If you’re buying a truck for heavy-duty work, consider spending some of the savings on a good garage floor mat. Your vehicle can bring road salt, debris, and slush into your parking area. It’s not a good idea to let debris accumulate or cause cracks on a garage floor. Besides, a well-maintained truck shouldn’t sit in puddles of dirt for days at a time.

 

And, with winter a few months away, the melted snow can be an issue as well. It can ruin your garage floor, get stuck in the wheels, and leave you with cleanup issues. Instead of rushing to find a mop before the snow melts (and the gallons of water that accumulates on your garage floor) invest in garage floor snow containment mats. It’s the best time to buy them since you can get a sale on the retail price, free shipping options, and the option to pick from different sizes to find the right fit.

 

You have better financing options.

During the public health emergency, several car dealers have begun to offer zero-percent financing options. With a zero-percent loan, you can get a great deal on a vehicle like a pickup truck. These financing options are usually for people with high credit scores. So, now is an excellent time to take advantage of these deals. You will save on interest costs and dealer fees and may even get an exemption from a downpayment. If you manage to pay the loan early, you will have money saved for optional equipment, truck accessories, or emergency funds.

 

You can get better trade-in options.

 

You may have a better chance of trading your old truck for a new one during this time. With dealer fees dropping, you can get a better deal on your old vehicle. Most auto-dealerships also offer better trucks at lower prices. Sometimes, this is to encourage sales during a recession or global economic downturn. Take advantage of this to buy a new vehicle that you may not otherwise have been able to afford.

 

Take advantage of deferments on loans.

 

A low retail price on everything from your truck to optional equipment and accessories is helpful. And, zero percent financing options are great. However, what if you’re not sure whether you can pay all your loans through this crisis? Here’s where loan deferments enter the picture. Some companies will offer up to 120-day deferments during an economic crisis. It’s the best choice when you want to make the most of all the great deals out there while ensuring you’re not hurting your finances.
