Are You Getting Ready to Purchase or Lease a New Car?

You have become frequent customers at the local Hyundai dealerships in town. In fact, two of the last times that you visited, you drove away with not one, but two new cars. You have purchased a couple, leased a few, but the one thing that has been common is the fact that all of these cars were found at one of the Hyundai dealerships.
After making your decision on the new cars, however, you do not often return to the dealerships, with the exception of the free first oil change that they provide with each purchase. It is not that the following oil changes are that expensive, but it the Hyundai dealerships in your town are in inconvenient locations. It makes sense to travel to this location when you are looking at options for car leasing, but when it comes to regular maintenance later on, it is just easier to go to the quick lane service centers that are closer to home.
The biggest factor in returning to the Hyundai dealerships, aside from the affordable prices, is that the cars are safe. Unfortunately, you know this from experience. Both your husband’s and your older daughter’s first Hyundai cars were totaled in accidents. In the case of your husband, he was at fault because he turned late on a yellow light; in the case of your daughter, she was not at fault. In both situations, luckily, the cars were totaled, but no one in the car was hurt. Both you and your younger daughter were in the car when your husband’s Hyundai sonata was totaled; your daughter was alone when she was in her accident. Two crashes. Two cars. Four Family members. No injuries.
Definitely reason enough to stick with the same kind of cars year after year.
Car Purchase and Lease Decisions Require Careful Consideration
Whether you are a retiree looking for a dependable car for trips to and from to see your children and grandchildren or you are the parents of a daughter getting ready to go away for college, a local Hyundai dealership might be the perfect suggestion. With several models available in several price ranges, Hyundai purchases and lease options can seem like a great solution.
