Cars can be expensive. Most of us would love to walk onto a lot, point at the car we want, and pay for it right then and there with cash conveniently. However, while buying a new car outright is an option, many of us will look into auto financing. With financing, how do we make sure we're getting a good rate? Here are some tips for acquiring desirable car financing in Jacksonville, FL. 1. Make a Down Payment or Trade in Your Current Car The less money you have to borrow, the more money you'll save in the long run. Remember that you will be paying interest on every dollar that is lent to you, so only borrow as much money as absolutely necessary to avoid paying more interest than you need to. There are a couple of ways to do this. First, if you happen to have some extra money sitting in a savings account, it may be worth using some of it to make a down payment and take a big chunk off your loan principal. An alternative is to trade in your current car if you don't plan on ever driving it again once you get your new whip. The value of that car will count as a credit towards your new purchase. more 2. Negotiate Another thing you can do to reduce the total purchase price of the vehicle, and thus the amount you borrow, is to negotiate. Dealers will usually be willing to negotiate if it means locking in a sale, so don't be afraid to give a counteroffer. It's good to have an idea of how much you'd ideally like to pay after you factor in tax and other fees. 3. Build Your Credit You can also ensure that you get good financing terms by improving your credit score. If you have a high credit rating, it's more likely that you will be offered lower, more preferable interest rates. Credit scoring is pretty complex, but generally speaking, lowering your total debt and making payments on time will improve your score significantly. This can take time, so don't forget that you can refinance down the road once your credit score improves. 4. Opt for a Shorter Financing Term One final way you can get better financing is to reduce the term of your auto loan. This will mean higher monthly payments, but you'll end up paying less interest, and less money, overall. This option likely isn't for everyone, but if you can afford to pay a little more each month, you can lower your total cost over the life of the loan. Get Affordable Auto Loans in Jacksonville at Our Car Dealership There you have it. Auto loans can be complicated, but these tips should put you on the right track and set you up for success in securing good financing for your new ride.

If you're looking for a muscle car on today's automobile market, you may be hard-pressed to find one. Although a handful of these powerful cars are still being produced, it was more common to find them in the '60s and '70s. During this time, Dodge was one of the top muscle car automakers. Take a look at some of Dodge's classic muscle cars that have been the inspiration for their more modern relatives. 1968 Dodge Dart The 1968 Dodge Dart was one of the earliest high-performance muscle cars in Dodge's lineup. It had three engines to choose from, but to get the most power under the hood, you would have chosen the 383-cubic-inch 6.3-liter V-8. This incredible block produced 375 horsepower and up to 480 pound-feet of torque and could go from zero to 60 in a mere five seconds. Its impressive quarter-mile time of 13.3 seconds at 107 mph made this car barely street legal. With its two-door compact size, boxy shape, and bumblebee stripes, it had a distinct look that set it apart. 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee more A matte-black, lift-off fiberglass hood complete with a massive forward-facing scoop gave the 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee its aggressive appearance. It was equipped with a 440-cubic-inch V-8 engine that could deliver a powerful 390 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque. Another unique feature of this model was its six-pack, which means it had three two-barrel carburetors instead of the standard four barrels. This car also came with an upgraded HEMI-grade suspension that gave it improved handling. Surprisingly, this was Dodge's least expensive muscle car, but some would say it was one of their greatest. 1970 Dodge Challenger As the '60s rolled over and became the '70s, the muscle car trend started to lose popularity, but not before the 1970 Dodge Challenger hit the market. This iconic model had a lot going for it, including its appealing style. It featured dual hood scoops, longitudinal side stripes or bumblebee wraparound side stripes, quad headlamps, and full-length taillamps. It could be ordered in either a hardtop or a convertible version and had its own distinct profile. Several engines were available for the Challenger, one of the most track-ready engines being the 340-cubic-inch V-8. It could pump out 290 horsepower according to Dodge, but if you ask drivers, they'd tell you it was more like 350 horsepower. 2006 Dodge Charger Perhaps not as classic as the other models on this list, the 2006 Dodge Charger was Dodge's push to bring back the iconic muscle car look and power of days gone by. At the top trim level of the 2006 Charger, a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine was equipped. It could produce up to 425 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. This is what paved the way for the powerful vehicles found in the Dodge lineup today. Although you can't find these models on today's car lots, you can see some of their modern-day offspring. If you'd like to take a muscle car out for a spin, stop by Orange Park CDJR and check out our inventory.

Recently leaked photos of the 2021 Ram 1500 made a splash in the news. We've collected everything we've seen and heard about the 2021 Ram 1500 so you can know what to expect. New Convenience Features According to Autoblog, the 2021 Ram 1500 will have some serious convenience features, including two that have been a part of Ram's heavy-duty pickups for a few years now. First, we expect to see a bed-view camera that is mounted on an LED brake light in the back of the truck's cab. We also expect another convenience feature from Ram's heavy-duty range: surround-view cameras will make up part of the Ram 1500's 360-degree camera system, now with trailer tow mirrors. We've spotted similar mirrors on the Ram 1500 Rebel TRX prototypes, too. Finally, another convenience feature we expect to see is the pro trailer backup assist. When backing up, typically a driver would need to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of where they wanted the trailer to go. Pro trailer backup assist makes backing up with a trailer easier by allowing the driver to turn the system's dial in the direction they want the trailer to back up. The magic of the Ram 1500's software will then allow the turning request to happen. more Exterior Weight Loss We expect the 2021 Ram 1500 to keep up with the stylistic exterior redesign of the 2019 model, which added a revised bumper, a new grille, and massaged headlights, among other features. However, by far the most exciting addition was the loss of almost 225 pounds from the Ram 1500's frame due to the switch to a different exterior material. Stylish Interior The interior of the 2021 Ram 1500 is likely to be even more stylish, with the redesigned shapes and creases on a revised dashboard. Expect to find luxurious interior features like a robust infotainment system, an improved heating and cooling system interface, a four-post steering wheel, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi. Engine Options The current edition of the Ram 1500 comes with an incredibly powerful lineup of engine options, and we expect to see those continue in the 2021 edition of the 1500. Each engine is paired to rear- or four-wheel-drive systems and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine lineup features the 3.6-liter V-6 engine, which gets an impressive 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. This engine comes with the eTorque mild-hybrid system, which can create electricity while braking. Upgrade to the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, available either with or without the eTorque system, for a monster 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. Finally, the 3.0 liter turbodiesel V-6 engine gets 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Release Date The 2021 Ram 1500 is scheduled to begin production in late August 2020, which means there should be an early fall release date. Keep looking for updates! If you're looking forward to checking out the 2021 Ram 1500 when it's released, come see it at Orange Park Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Jacksonville, Florida.
