Small things can become big things in the long run, so be sure that you think your SUV decision through, before you buy.

Avoid Frivolous Options

Things like motorized running boards, and power lift-gates will…eventually break. They’re neat while they work, but the repair bill will surely be outrageous.

If you plan to trade before your warranty expires, then just enjoy your toys. But if you plan to drive it until the wheels fall off, avoid the options that are going to be expensive to fix.

Look At How Much Those Options Are Going to Cost You

If you’re financing your SUV, then you need to pay attention to how much those option packages are going to cost you over the life of your loan. Adding the Limited package with leather & navigation for only $80 more per month might seem like a bargain. But if you figure in the extra principle & additional interest, those heated seats might “burn” you in the long run.

Get An Insurance Quote Before You Buy

Even if you have a great driving record, some SUV’s can be more expensive to insure than others. Especially the four-wheel drive’s. So, make sure that you know exactly what that new 7-seater is going to cost you.

Make Sure That You Can Really Afford It

To many people, 18-19 MPG’s might seem affordable. But what if gas jumped $2 per gallon…again? Could you still afford to drive to work & pickup the kids, without making sacrifices?

Always look at the financial worst-case-scenario before you buy any big ticket item. That way, you can determine how much you can truly afford.
