New or Used: Which Nissan Buying Option is Right for You and Your Situation?

When you visit the car lot and pick out your Nissan, you will have the choice of a new or used model. There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to deciding whether a new or used car is best. Rather, it depends on your preferences and your situation. Here are a few considerations that should help you determine whether you should buy a new or used Nissan.

Price

One of the most important considerations when trying to choose between a new or used Nissan is the price. Because new Nissan cars have yet to be driven and feature all of the latest technology, they will be more expensive. Used cars, on the other hand, cannot be sold at full price. The amount of wear experienced by a used car engine, of course, varies from car to car. Some used cars have barely been driven at all. If one of your primary considerations is keeping the price as low as possible, you may want to search for a used or certified pre-owned car.

Features

If you want the latest features, a new car is the right choice for you. Every year Nissan comes out with a line of new cars that are outfitted with the latest features and technology. If you are primarily interested in buying a new car that is as advanced as possible, then you will find what you want in a new car. This isn’t to say that used cars lack features, however. They may just include slightly outdated systems.

If you are considering a Nissan for your next car but are not sure whether to buy new or used, give Sullivan Brothers Nissan a visit or call us at (781) 336-4248. We are the premier Nissan dealership for the Plymouth, MA area. Our extensive collection of new and used Nissan vehicles is sure to include a car that will fit your needs.

A Guide to Financing the New Nissan You've Been Dreaming Of

Nissan builds cars that specifically engineered to achieve a perfect balance of comfort, style, and performance. Regardless of your budget, Nissan has a car for you. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for car buyers when it comes to financing.

Apply for a Dealership Loan

One of the most common methods of financing is applying for a loan through a dealership. Many car buyers prefer to apply for a loan through the dealer as opposed to the bank because this makes for a simpler payment scheme. Going through the dealership may also provide more flexibility when it comes to repayment schedules. In order to qualify for a loan, you will have to provide your financial information. This includes credit information, employment history, and the disclosure of your mortgage details. If your credit score and financial history are good, this could result in more favorable loan terms.

Inquire About Special Financing

Sometimes, dealers offer special financing deals that you can help you get your new Nissan at the lowest possible price. Dealerships often provide discounts and special offers based on both the cars in the inventory and the qualifications of the individual buyer. Ask your local Nissan dealer about any current financing specials.

Apply for a Lease

Another financing option for individuals interested in buying a new Nissan is applying for a lease.  When applying for a lease, you and the dealer will decide on the specific terms including the length of the lease and amount you will have to pay upfront. Then, based on a variety of factors including your credit history and financial situation, your dealer will offer you a lease. After the period of your lease is over, you will have the option of buying the car at a residual price. If you’re not interested in buying the car, you can simply renew the lease.

If you have any further questions about the financing options available to car buyers interested in a new Nissan vehicle, call Sullivan Brothers Nissan at (781) 336-4248.

Tips to Get the Best Fuel Efficiency You Can From Your New Nissan

Rising gas prices are a concern on nearly every American driver’s mind. Thankfully, your monthly fuel costs can be mitigated by keeping your Nissan in great shape. These gas-saving tips simplify the process of improved fuel efficiency.

• Efficient Driving: The way you drive has a huge influence on fuel efficiency. Quick accelerations and sudden stops ill make your vehicle less efficient. Utilizing cruise control during a highway commute can do wonders for slowing your gas needle. Another way to be more efficient on the road is by planning your errands with short and efficient routes.
   
• Tire Care: Vehicle gas efficiency is highly influenced by your tires. Underinflated tires, for example, are responsible for large quantities of wasted fuel. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that drivers can increase gas mileage by 3.3% with properly inflated tires. Checking the tread on your tires can also alert you to alignment and suspension problems, which can both take a toll on your gas mileage.
   
• Limited Cargo: A heavier vehicle requires more energy to move. Keeping your truck empty of everything but the necessities can help to limit visits to the pump. Families with regular cargo transport needs should consider new scheduling strategies. A new weekly itinerary can give drivers an opportunity to drop off heavier items between trips.
   
• Regular Maintenance: A well-tuned engine performs better than a car that has been neglected. Drivers should consider regular visits to a certified Nissan dealer service shop for best results. These specialized technicians provide Nissan-specific maintenance to maximize gas mileage. Additionally, regular maintenance checks can catch other problems that might be lowering your fuel efficiency.

Drivers can also save money by upgrading to a fuel-efficient Nissan vehicle. Visit Sullivan Brothers or call (781) 336-4248 for more details on our money-saving inventory of new and pre-owned Nissans.
