There often comes a time in your life when you want a new car. The desire is sometimes merely the result of wanting something fresh and new, and sometimes you just can’t rely on your current car. This is a very normal urge, and it sometimes comes attached with a very normal concern. What do you do if the vehicle you have is worth less than what you still owe on it?
Well, here is your answer: when possible, the money you still owe on your trade (above it’s trade-in value) is worked into the payments on your new car. Other times, a larger down payment will make up some or all of the difference. There are times when the amount owed is so large that there is no way to compensate for the difference.
How do you find out? The first step is to contact your lender and find out the “payoff” on your trade. This simply means how much it would cost to pay your car off in full. It is NOT the same as the total of your remaining payments, because you will be saving finance charges. The next step is to bring your trade to us and let our professional vehicle appraiser look at it and determine what it is worth. At this point, we’ll have enough information to tell you pretty quickly whether or not we can help you with your financial burden.
Just call us at 757-282-5616 to set a time to bring your trade in and we’ll answer your questions in a timely manner. We hope to see you soon!
Cavalier Mazda’s Tips on Choosing Car Colors
When people buy a car at Cavalier Mazda, many decide on color before considering what make and model to buy. Before settling on a car color, there are some things you should know. With today’s technology, many colors that once were difficult to keep in brand-new condition, like silver or gold, are now just as easy to maintain as traditional colors. Cars with metallic paint used to require monthly waxing to keep the paint from fading. Now, new coatings and paint mixtures from Ford ensure longevity so you shouldn’t hesitate to select a metallic paint. In fact, silver is now the most popular color on the market because it’s easily visible at night, hides dust, and is calming to look at. That’s pretty important when you’re waiting for the Berkeley Bridge to re-open. White and black cars tend to make our pollen count seem even higher than it is. If you’re concerned about visibility at night, Cavalier Mazda recommends avoiding black or red cars as they are the most difficult to see after the sun goes down. Daylight visibility is enhanced in blue or green vehicles. The ultimate decider: how does it look parked in front of your house? If it hurts your eyes, choose another color.

If your son plays the trombone, encourage him to pack it where he can’t reach it while the vehicles is moving.
Little guys have very different ideas about which video would be “fun” for the trip than their pre-teen or teen siblings. Anarchy is never pretty. Try scheduling who watches what BEFORE pulling out of the driveway.
Snacks are great! Sloppy and sticky, however, are the first cousins of snacks. Wet wash cloths can help minimize the damage.
NEVER tie your dog’s leash to the rear bumper. Trust me on this.
If your eyes tell you there’s no road there but your GPS insists that you turn right – trust your eyes.
Since we can’t be sure which of Virginia’s rest areas are open, you may want to limit fluid intake. I’m just saying.
Cavalier Mazda Summer Trip Tips
With summer just around the bend, aspiring vacationers are busy making plans to hit the road. To help keep you safe, Cavalier Mazda offers the following summer road trip tips to help deliver smooth cruising all the way.
Bring a Roadside Emergency Kit
This may seem like a pretty obvious tip, but many Tidewater area residents don’t have an emergency kit in their Mazda. It won’t do you any good to anticipate unforeseen issues if you aren’t actually prepared for them, which is why you should never take a road trip without a packed roadside emergency kit.
Service Your Mazda
Before you head out, bring your vehicle into Cavalier’s Mazda service center for an oil change and inspection. Having a vehicle that you know is running smoothly before you leave can help you rest easier and enjoy your summer vacation.
Fill ‘er Up
The already soaring cost of gas is only certain to fly higher during the summer months as demand rises and the roadways fill with travelers. The reality is, your path will likely take you far from Virginia and into areas where gas stations are few and far between. Fill your tank often. Keep an eye open for “Last Chance Gas” signs as you venture into the hinterlands. And if you’re running on empty, never hold out for another station with lower prices unless you want to hoof it.
