How to Do New Car Research

At Bedford Nissan, we know it can be stressful and overwhelming to shop for a new vehicle. We’d love to help you transition into a new Nissan vehicle as seamlessly as possible. We’re always there to provide details, comparisons, and test drives, but here are a few things we’ve learned from our customers about the shopping process.

A Good Place to Start

Consider passenger needs, performance capacity, features you need, and cost. If you have an adventurous family who likes to take road trips or do some light off-roading, a Nissan SUV like the 2022 Nissan Murano might be a good fit. If you’re more around-town people, performance on freeways and city roads is probably more important to you, and the 2022 Nissan Altima would be a good choice. For some drivers, the style and appearance of the car is more important than performance, while others value interior comfort or available technology features. Spend some time figuring out what matters most to you.

Time for a Test Drive

Once you have a good idea of the models you are interested in, it’s time to get behind the wheel. Sometimes this is more intimidating for newer drivers who don’t have as much experience with a wide range of vehicles, so we recommend these drivers plan to spend a good chunk of time on a test drive. You’ll want to get a sense for how the vehicle performs on the freeway, residential roads, and in heavy traffic. Our goal is to make your test drive a fun and enjoyable experience.

Consider Your Options with Nissan Finance

Once you’ve settled on the model that feels right for you, we can talk about payment. Our Nissan Finance Department can over a range of options with you, whether you’re looking to pay cash, finance your purchase, or lease. Check out our guide on whether car leasing vs. buying is right for you.

At any point of your shopping or researching process, we hope you feel comfortable reaching out to your Nissan dealers in Ohio. We are always there to answer questions you have about vehicle performance and trim options, but more than that, we want to be your partner in this process. Car shopping is always fun for us, and our goal is to make it fun for you too!
