We’re thrilled to hear it, and we can’t wait to help you complete your purchase or lease here at Lexus of Mobile. However, before you visit our finance department to sign on the dotted line, there are a few questions you should ask yourself to ensure you’re choosing the right model. A vehicle is a major investment, and it’s important to consider all your needs (and wants) before committing. Ask yourself the questions below, and if you’re satisfied that the model of your choice is right for you, visit us today to make it officially yours. Our team is here to help if you have questions or need help making up your mind.

Why do I need the car?

Think back to when you first decided to upgrade. What were your reasons for doing so? What body style did you feel was best for you, and what type of powertrain? If you originally wanted a model with plenty of space for family and friends — maybe even including room for the little ones’ car seats — make sure the vehicle you’re considering now fits the bill. Or, if you have a long commute and want to save money on fuel, ensure that your model of choice gets satisfactory mpg. If you just wanted to upgrade to a new Lexus for the pure enjoyment of driving one, trust us: We understand. But don’t forget that the model you buy should fit your needs and your wants.

What are my must-haves?

In the same vein, make sure the model you’re considering checks off all the boxes on your list of must-have features. If you originally began looking for a car with a power moonroof, leather seats and a hands-free tailgate, make sure that those features are represented in your model of choice. If not, do its other merits outweigh the things it’s lacking? While a must-have list can be helpful in narrowing down your options, don’t let a small feature stand between you and a car you love. Can’t settle on a car that doesn’t check every box? We admire your resolve. Build your Lexus on our website, and you’ll get to choose every detail of your new ride.

How much can I afford?

If you have already visited our dealership to shop in person, one of our sales team members will have shown you vehicles within your budget. However, if you’ve fallen for a brand-new Lexus when you intended to purchase a pre-owned one, take a moment to ensure that your eyes aren’t bigger than your wallet. Making a budget is a vital part of buying a car, so if you haven’t already, consider what kind of car you can afford. Use our payment calculator to estimate what your monthly payment would be on the model you’re considering. If you can’t fit a new car payment into your monthly expenses, perhaps it’s best to choose a pre-owned vehicle instead. Don’t worry, you aren’t settling — our pre-owned models are top-tier. To save even more, you can trade in your current car, and we also offer specials on our new and pre-owned vehicles to make it easier for our customers to upgrade. It’s our goal to get you into a model that makes you happy at a price that fits your lifestyle.
