Buying any new or used car is a big undertaking. Alongside the financial commitment that a new vehicle will entail, you will need to consider the practicalities of your new vehicle. For instance, do you regularly need to rive off-road or are you particularly concerned about accidents and the risk of injury when driving? Environmental concerns are important to many people; this has led to the rise of the hybrid and the all electric vehicle; the majority of manufacturer’s has something to offer in this section of the market and will have something in development.

One vehicle that is always worth considering is the Land Rover. It is a rugged, well built vehicle designed to go anywhere and do anything. The range includes basic vehicles which are built to do the job; whether it is pulling loads or driving up hills and mountains, crossing streams on the way. The other end of the range sees Land Rover Dealers with a row of sparkling vehicles which can be used to safely take your child to school; these have every possible feature loaded into them.

Having narrowed your search down to a Land Rover dealer, what qualities do you need to find in the dealership to ensure you use them and not the competition?

• Customer Service

A good Land Rover dealer will provide a friendly, personal approach. You will be made to feel welcome, whether you look like you have money or not. The service should extend to talking through your chosen vehicle with you and even making suggestions regarding other models which may better suit your needs. A good Land Rover dealer should make you feel comfortable while you browse their selection and make your decision.

• Finance Packages

Land Rover often offers some exceptionally good finance packages which can make it much easier and much more affordable to purchase the car of your dreams. The dealer should have a competent member of staff on hand to discuss the various finance packages and ensure you get the best possible deal when buying your new Land Rover.

• Location

Just like when you are searching for Real Estate, location is everything. For instance, if you are living in Toronto then your local dealership Budd's Land Rover will offer you everything you need to assist in purchasing the right car; however, this dealership is unlikely to be of use if you live in New York. The right dealer for you should be relatively close as this will allow you to discuss any issues or concerns.

• Range

Generally the bigger the dealer, the larger the range of vehicles there will be.  This is a good thing as more vehicles mean you will have more choice and more opportunity to study each model up close.

• Reputation

Finally, it is essential to choose a dealer which has a well established reputation. This is easy to verify by checking the social media sites for their feedback. Your local Land Rover dealer will probably be happy to offer you a few references if required.
