How to Prepare for a Visit to Our Mazda Showroom

Shopping for a new car is exciting, and John Lee Mazda has a great selection of models to choose from. Before you stop by our Mazda showroom, here are a few things you can do in preparation for your visit.

Create a Budget

The first step for a car shopper is to create a budget. This will help you determine what you can afford for your down payment and your monthly payment on a new Mazda car. A budget will also assist with understanding how much money you should factor in for recurring costs such as gas, maintenance, and insurance. 

Research

Research is key to narrowing down your choices to a few top picks, and the best place to do it is our online new Mazda car inventory. We make it easy for you to narrow down your choices through fields such as year, model, and mileage, as well as color, engine type, and of course, price. Since you’re likely to own a car for several years, make sure what you want to buy will suit you well not just in the short-term, but also into the future.

What to Bring

There are a few items we recommend bringing when you visit John Lee Mazda:

• Your driver’s license: You’ll need it to take a test drive and confirm proof of residence.
• Proof of insurance: This is required for buying a new car.
• Form of payment: Whether you want to pay with a check, cash, or direct deposit, you should have your payment ready when you’re ready to buy the car. If you’re financing through our dealership, make sure you allow enough time to complete the relevant paperwork. You can get a head-start on your Mazda financing by getting preapproved right on our website.
