If you decide to move forward with a purchase, do consider using a down payment of some kind. Any amount of down payment you put towards the loan will mean more money in your pocket every month and more of a chance of getting approved for a loan in the first place.  Lending companies usually required at least a down payment in the 10-20 percent range for a new car.

If you’ve been thinking it’s time to get into a new vehicle, you may already have seen the online credit application. Filling it out could save you time at the dealership, or at least let you know what your financial options are before selecting a car that’s out of your price range, but you’re likely wondering: Is it safe to fill out a credit application online? Most people’s biggest concern is the information they give out. This is understandable, with identity theft being a worthwhile fear. Of all the required information in our credit application, you’re probably most concerned about your SSN, but it is a necessary piece of information for us to receive your credit score. We can assure you the information comes directly to our staff members, and we take precautions to keep all information on our servers private and secure. If in doubt, you can always just head on over to Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and speak to a member of our staff in person.

This leads many to the most frequently asked question about tire alignment, "When should I get an alignment?" There is no absolute answer to the question since all vehicles have different service requirements. A service technician here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown  will be able to do a quick test to determine if alignment if necessary.
