With interest rates starting to drop, now is an excellent time to explore your options for financing a vehicle. Whether you’re considering buying your first car or upgrading your current one, understanding the basics of car loans can make the process smoother. Our team is here to guide you through each step, whether you choose to finance with us or your own bank.

The MATS car-buying model heavily focuses on minimizing our clients’ risk purchasing vehicles. We do this in a few ways.

Clients often ask us to help them find a reliable vehicle for under $10,000. MATS President Sara Trombley talks about this type of purchase on our Youtube channel.

Today we are going to de-bunk that myth! Cars are way better than they used to be. The technology has advanced and they’re just built better. Cars are no longer nearing the end of their life at 100K anymore. In fact, like a good pair of shoes, some vehicles are just being broken in at 100,000 miles. What matters more than the miles is the AGE of the vehicle.

Today, we’re going to discuss the various car makers and what’s so good (or not so good) about them.

How do you buy a “good car?”
And what makes a car a “good buy?”

Buying a car, especially in this market, is not as simple as preferred year + preferred mileage + within budget = good. Rather, there are a few more important factors to consider.

In 2020, a family of 6 – a teacher, a stay-at-home mom, and 4 kiddos – trusted MATS and included the AUL Powertrain Warranty in their van purchase. They have used it twice with no regrets!

Today’s car market update encompasses two things: (1) why prices rise as temperature rises every year, and (2) why MATS emphasizes being “as flexible as possible” with your car search.

MATS has been in the car business for decades, and we still get the same requests we did fifteen years ago: a $5,000 car with Honda/Toyota reliability and as low mileage as possible. So, we’ve got a big question to answer. Do $5k cars even exist?
