Frequently Asked Questions from First Time Car Buyers

Buying your first car comes with a lot of excitement—and a few questions. Here are some of the most common ones we hear from first-time buyers, along with helpful answers to guide you.

How much should I spend on my first vehicle?

The amount you spend on your first vehicle depends on your budget and needs. The key is to choose a car that fits your monthly spending plan while leaving room for other essentials like insurance, gas, and maintenance.

At Jackson Kia, we make it easy to find a vehicle that matches your budget. From new Kia models to reliable used cars under $20k, we’ve got options for everyone. Start your search online or stop by our pre-owned car center in Cocoa to find your first car, truck or SUV today!

How do I choose my first car, truck or SUV?

Picking out your first car is one of the most exciting parts of the process! Start by setting a budget and thinking about what kind of car you need. Do you want something fuel-efficient? Room for passengers or gear? Jot down a list of must-haves, then let our friendly sales team in Cocoa help you find the perfect vehicle.

Should my first car be new or used?

The decision between a new or used car depends on your budget and preferences. A new Kia offers the latest features and a full warranty, while a quality used car might fit better within your price range. At Jackson Kia, we offer both! Whether you’re eyeing a brand-new Kia or a reliable used vehicle from another major brand, we’ll help you make the right choice.
