Durand Presents the Top Ways to Spend Your 2024 Tax Refund

1. USE YOUR TAX REFUND TO PUT A DOWN PAYMENT ON A CAR, TRUCK OR SUV

This is one of the most popular ways to spend your tax refund. If you're like many Americans with bad credit, tax season is a great time to lay down a substantial down payment. This will also open up financing options that would otherwise not be available.

A down payment will show the dealership that you're a serious car buyer and can also help you get a loan with lower monthly payments, which makes buying a car even more financially feasible.

2. GET REPAIRS OR UPGRADES ON YOUR CURRENT CAR

Whether it's a new set of tires to improve fuel economy or a much needed tune-up, a well-maintained car can last well past 100,000 miles. Routine maintenance and the occasional upgrade might not be as thrilling as driving off the lot in a new car, but it's a great way to stretch a dollar...and the life of your car.

And if you've got a car that you'd like to customize, why not consider some of the following Buick and GMC accessories?

• Custom floor mats
• Splash guards
• Running boards
• A trailer hitch
• Custom wheels
• Fog lights

Which of these Buick GMC accessories would make your car stand out in a crowd?

3. SAVE MONEY: BUY A USED CAR

Used cars are a great option when you're looking to find a deal on a reliable car but don't want to spend too much money. Used cars used to have a bad reputation, but nowadays that's no longer the case, especially at a respectable dealer like us.

Don't let the miles on the odometer fool you. Those miles prove that with proper care and maintenance a used car can also be a reliable car. High-mileage cars probably have mostly highway miles, and those miles put less wear and tear on a car.

It's unlikely that a used car will still be under warranty, so it's important to make sure you buy your car or truck from a trusted dealer, like Durand. That way you can rest assured that you're getting a quality used car that will last for years to come.
