How to Buy a Car Online

One of the first questions that many car buyers ask is related to the monthly car payments. We understand that the purchase of a new or pre-owned car must align with your budget, and CORE makes it easy for you to calculate the monthly payments. You'll just enter your approximate credit score, cash down, term and interest rate to see the payment options. Your ability to get an estimated monthly payment can help you determine if the car you want fits into your budget.

Of the many time-saving resources provided by CORE is the trade-in estimate tool that enables you to find the value of your trade-in. This feature really simplifies the process of buying a car when you already have a vehicle. By providing details about your trade-in, such as accurate information about its condition, you can get a quote on how much your current car is likely worth.

Crown Toyota also provides you with a secure way to find financing online. Whether you're buying a new or pre-owned vehicle, our financial partners will help you identify a financial solution that fits your needs. We have often been able to provide financing to customers with low credit scores. If you're concerned about your creditworthiness, you can pre-qualify for financing online. It's as easy as all of the other steps involved in buying a car online using CORE.

While completing the online car buying process, you will have an opportunity to purchase a Mechanical Protection Plan (MPP), which offers benefits that can provide reassurance when an emergency occurs. There are a variety of different plans from which you can choose. Some of the benefits include key replacement, a reward for return after a theft, emergency help message relay, roadside assistance and driver's valet services. Roadside assistance offers peace of mind if you get a flat tire, run out of gas, need a tow truck or have a dead battery. These are just examples of the many offerings available through Mechanical Protection Plans.

After going through the process of buying a car online, you'll eventually get to one of the most exciting parts, which is test driving the car you want. It's a good idea to schedule your appointment for a test drive in advance so that the vehicle of your choice is ready to go when you arrive at Crown Toyota.

Once you have found the right vehicle, you'll want to make sure nobody else gets it, especially since the average car is only on the lot for less than a month. To reserve the vehicle that you want, you can put down a small deposit online, and we will hold the car for you as a courtesy. This is a great way to make sure the car is still there when you arrive.
