LifestyleCar Purchasing 2023 plus Auto Show Offer!
We thought we would change it up a bit with this month’s blog – a few fun and interesting notes on car purchasing for 2023, as well as your ticket offer to the Auto Show.
Over the past few years, it has been quite difficult to keep up with changes in the auto world, and the problems with the supply change and inventories at car dealerships. We are hoping that much of the supply chain will be fixed in 2023, so it will be a great opportunity for you to consider upgrading your vehicle.
Buying a car can take weeks, if not months of planning. With interest rate hikes and a looming recession, your expectations and budgeting may suddenly have changed. Lot has happened since 2020, so it is always worthwhile to spend a few hours taking a look at the latest line-up of cars by the different manufacturers. Certainly, the move into electric and hybrid options are worth careful consideration if you plan on holding on to your car for more than five years. We encourage you to do your research. Tom, for one, admits that there is a lot that he needs to learn about the new landscape and will be spending some time at the show.
If you are considering a new car purchase this year, we welcome you to book a call with Tom Trimble, our in-house car guru, who can share both his car expertise as well as the financial logistics of the purchase.
We’re happy to see that the 2023 Canadian International Auto Show is back.
