The arrival of spring signals not only warmer temperatures and longer days, but also tax season. If you’re getting a refund on your taxes this year, you can use it at our Poughkeepsie, NY, Mazda dealership to improve your daily commute or lower your monthly auto loan payment. The knowledgeable team at Route 9 Mazda has three smart ways to apply it toward your automotive goals.
Maximize Your Down Payment
One of the most common ways drivers use their tax refund at Route 9 Mazda is to apply it toward a down payment. Making a larger payment upfront reduces the total amount that you need to finance, which in turn reduces how much interest you’ll need to pay. Whether you’re in the market for the versatile Mazda CX-5 or the sporty Mazda3, a larger down payment helps you build equity in your vehicle faster.
Refinance Your Auto Loan
If you are currently paying a high interest rate on your auto loan, your tax refund money can help with a refinance. Many lenders require fees or a lower loan-to-value ratio to adjust your terms for a better APR. Applying your refund toward either the principal or these processing fees can help you obtain a lower monthly payment.
Invest in Certified MAZDA Service
Spring is the perfect time to use your tax refund for necessary Mazda service. Our factory-trained technicians can perform services like brake pad replacements, oil changes, fluid flushes, and much more. Addressing this now prevents small wear-and-tear issues from turning into larger repairs.
