Buying your first car is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel like an overwhelming experience. At Zeigler Honda of Racine, we understand that new car ownership comes with many important decisions.Consider these key questions before you sign the dotted line and drive away in your perfect Honda:
1. What's my realistic budget?
Before falling in love with that sleek
new Honda Civic or spacious
CR-V, establish a clear budget to help narrow your options. Remember to account for the monthly payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, and registration fees.
2. What are my daily driving needs?
Consider your typical commute and lifestyle. Do you need excellent fuel economy for long drives between Mount Pleasant and Oak Creek? Is all-wheel drive essential for Wisconsin winters? Do you need space for family road trips or a compact vehicle for city parking? Understanding your daily needs will help narrow down the perfect Honda model for your life.
3. What features are important to me?
Choose the features that matter most to you. Think about fuel efficiency, safety tech, infotainment systems, or all-wheel drive. Prioritizing these features will help you focus on models that meet your criteria. Our team can help answer all your Honda questions about features. We can also show you how they work during your test drive at our Racine dealership.
4. How long do I plan to keep this vehicle?
Honda vehicles are known for their longevity and reliability. If you plan to keep your car for many years, investing in a new Honda with the latest technology and efficiency may save you money in the long run.
5. Have I researched the cost of ownership?
Different vehicles have varying costs for maintenance, repairs, and depreciation. Honda models consistently rank among the most affordable to maintain. Our
Racine service center can give you details on maintenance schedules and costs for specific models.
6. What financing options work best for me?

financing and leasing options to fit different needs. Have you considered whether buying or leasing makes more sense for your situation? Our financing experts in Racine, Kenosha, and nearby areas can explain the benefits of each choice.
