The holiday season is a great time to purchase a new vehicle, with dealerships offering special deals and promotions. But before you make that big purchase, there are a few key factors to consider to ensure it’s the right decision for you and your family.

1. Determine Your Budget

Before stepping into the dealership, set a realistic budget. Consider not just the sticker price but also factors like monthly payments, insurance rates, fuel costs, and maintenance. Wheeler’s offers financing options to help make your purchase more affordable.

2. Decide on New vs. Used

Are you looking for a brand-new vehicle with the latest features, or would a certified pre-owned vehicle suit your needs better? Both options have their perks, and at Wheeler’s, we have a wide selection of both new and used vehicles to choose from.

3. Consider Your Vehicle Needs

Think about what you truly need in a vehicle. Whether it’s extra space for holiday road trips, all-wheel drive for winter weather, or advanced safety features, consider how the vehicle will fit your lifestyle, especially during the colder months.

4. Take Advantage of Holiday Deals and Incentives

Many dealerships, including Wheeler’s, offer special promotions during the holiday season. Whether it’s cash back, low-interest financing, or discounts on new models, these incentives can help you save.

5. Schedule a Test Drive

Before making a decision, schedule a test drive to experience the vehicle firsthand. Pay attention to comfort, ease of handling, and visibility—especially if you’re planning on driving in winter conditions.

6. Check for Warranty and Service Options

Ensure the vehicle comes with a solid warranty and consider adding extended coverage if needed. Wheeler’s offers service plans that will keep your car running smoothly through the winter and beyond.

7. Prepare for Winter Driving

If you’re buying a vehicle in Wisconsin, you’ll want to be prepared for snow and icy roads. Consider vehicles with winter-friendly features like heated seats, remote start, and advanced traction control.

Purchasing a vehicle for the holidays can be a great gift for yourself or your family. By keeping these factors in mind and visiting Wheeler’s Family Auto Group, you can find the perfect vehicle that fits your needs and budget. Contact us today to explore our holiday deals!
