There are plenty of reasons why financing your new car at a dealership is a good idea. Flexible financing options and an effortless, time-saving process are some of the reasons to get an auto loan at your Mazda dealership. Here's a ​rundown of the main advantages you could benefit from when you choose to finance your new Mazda direct when you buy. more 4 Reasons to Finance Your 2025 Mazda at Your Mazda Dealership Convenient, Time-Saving Solution Taking out a car loan from a bank or credit union is usually a time-consuming process, as you'll have to browse the various loan options yourself and file an application to each potential lender. If your application is rejected, you have to repeat the process from scratch. When getting a loan at your Mazda dealer, you only have to complete one application form that will be submitted to a wide range of local and national providers. The dealership's in-house financial team will take time to select the best rates and advise you on the various terms of each financing offer, helping you settle on the best solution based on your financial situation. Multiple Financing Options One of the biggest perks of financing your new Mazda through your dealership is the access to multiple lenders at once, including Mazda's financial services. Getting a car loan directly from the automaker comes with advantages you wouldn't get elsewhere, such as flexible terms, low or waived interest rates, and special deals on select vehicles. Mazda also offers competitive rates and exclusive discounts to certain buyers, such as college graduates, military personnel, and loyal customers. To speed up the application process, you can opt to get pre-approved with Capital One with no impact on your credit score. Added-Value Services Financing your new Mazda at the dealership also allows you to customize your loan with added-value services, such as extended warranties or theft and accident protection. These services provide peace of mind knowing you won't have to pay for a damaged or stolen vehicle. Extended warranties typically include additional services as well, such as roadside and emergency assistance. Options for All Credit Scores Getting a loan if you have an excellent credit score is easy, but if your score is average or below average, our in-house financial team can help you rebuild your credit while enjoying your brand-new Mazda. Your chances of getting an auto loan are also higher at your dealership if you have a lower income. For instance, you could be offered a lower interest rate or longer term. As a leading dealership in the area, we also accept trade-ins from our customers, helping you cover the down payment costs or reduce the amount you have to borrow. Our convenient payment calculator can help you determine your buying power, and we also partner with KBB Instant Cash Offer so you can value your trade-in instantly.

It's truly a joy to drive with its communicative steering, thrilling ride quality, and excellent road manners, and it has plenty of features that make every other aspect of it as excellent as its performance. more 5 Versatile Features of the 2025 Mazda CX-50 1. Its Great Amount of Cargo Space There's a lot of space for transporting cargo in the 2025 Mazda CX-50, as it has an ample cargo area that's 31.56 cubic feet in size. You can also fold down some or all of the back row to get 56.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Some competitors' hybrid models have less cargo space because the battery takes up some space in the cargo area, but the CX-50's hybrids are just as spacious as its fully gas-powered models. The cargo area is also deeper than it is wide. It's specifically designed to let you transport items lengthwise. 2. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select Drive Modes You can switch up the CX-50's driving mode depending on your desires and the situation at hand. All gas models have a Sport mode, which makes the already-zippy ride even zippier.

Trying to decide whether to pay outright, go through a bank/credit union, or check out financing options at your Mazda dealership? Of course, it's something worth thinking through. While the first two may have some appeal, don't overlook what your dealership can offer. more 3 Reasons To Explore Financing Options at Your Mazda Dealership 1. Potential for More Savings When shopping for an auto loan, you'll likely be locked into the rate your bank or credit union offers, but that might not be the best deal. Since they set their terms, you're limited to what they provide. Your dealership, on the other hand, works with dozens of financial institutions, ranging from major national lenders to specialized auto financing companies to Mazda's own financing arm. More options mean better rates and potential incentives that your bank can't simply match, such as 0% APR offers and cashback deals. Already have a good rate? Bring it over to the dealership. We might just beat it or offer perks that make financing with us an even better deal. 2. More Options if You Have Bad Credit If you have a poor or no credit score, getting approved for a loan through traditional channels can be challenging. But that does not mean you are out of options. Among the many lenders your dealerships work with, some specialize in helping buyers with less-than-perfect credit. They look beyond the numbers to help you secure a loan that fits your situation. So, instead of hitting a dead end, you could be driving off in the car you need while improving your credit along the way. 3. Convenience Financing through a dealership keeps the entire process simple and stress-free. No need to visit multiple banks, compare endless rates on your own, or juggle extra paperwork. There's also no need to try to move your old car on your own. Many dealerships accept trade-ins, making it easy to apply your vehicle's current value toward your next purchase. Plus, the process moves quickly. With lenders on hand and everything handled in one place, approvals can happen the same day. Getting Pre-Qualified Want to see your loan options without hurting your credit score? Dealerships offer pre-qualification, letting you check estimated monthly payments, APRs, and offer summaries with a soft credit pull, meaning your score stays untouched. Even better, you can get pre-qualified for both used and new cars, giving you more flexibility while you shop. As you can see, dealership financing can be a smarter way to secure a loan. So, if you're ready to make your next car happen, contact Auffenberg Mazda of O'fallon in Shiloh, IL. We've been helping drivers secure great financing deals, and we're certain we can do the same for you.

Heated Recaro racing seats are available, as are creature comforts like in-car Wi-Fi capability and Alexa Built-In, making keeping connected easier than ever, no matter how quickly you're moving.

Leasing benefits a vast number of drivers and is often better than buying a car for some. It's a really great option if you're a fan of convenience, cost savings, and cars with all the latest features. When you head to the Mazda dealership, it's important to weigh all of your financing options, and that includes leasing instead of buying. Check out four benefits of leasing a 2025 Mazda from your local dealership. more 1. Leasing Benefits You Financially There are lots of ways you may save money when leasing a car instead of buying one. First, there's no big down payment to make. Instead, you pay a few fees and the first month's payment in most cases. Then you save money each month, as the monthly cost of leasing is typically lower than the monthly cost of paying back a car loan. Finally, you'll likely save money on repairs. You'll always be driving a newer car when you lease, meaning you'll get the car during its most trouble-free years. That means less money spent repairing problems that crop up. If you lease several cars in a 10-year period, then you'll probably spend a lot less on repairs than someone who buys a car and drives it for a decade. 2. Leasing Lets You Experience New Things Often If you love experiencing all the latest technology and safety innovations that cars have to offer, then leasing is a great way to do that. Many leases only last two or three years, and some people choose to lease a new car annually. That means you'll always be in one of the newest Mazda models, giving you access to all the technological advancements and new, exciting features regularly. 3. Leasing Is Highly Convenient Selling a car and then buying a new one often comes with a lot of hassle, especially if you sell your old car privately. When you're leasing, you can get a new car with no hassle at all. You head to the dealer when your lease ends, give back the car, and then it's off your hands. If you lease your next car, then you'll fill out a little paperwork and drive off in your new ride. There's no need to worry about arranging financing before you get behind the wheel of your new vehicle. 4. Leasing May Let You Drive Fancier Cars Because leasing costs less than buying most of the time, you may be able to drive a fancier car than you would if you were purchasing a vehicle. You may get more packages, upgrades, or a higher trim for the same price you'd pay for a simpler model when purchasing a new Mazda. Come to Auffenberg Mazda of O'Fallon in Shiloh, IL to lease your next Mazda. Come by between 9 AM and 8 PM Monday to Friday or 8:30 AM to 6 PM on Saturdays to check out our range.

You can find 2025 models at a Mazda dealership packed with new and improved technology for your comfort, safety, and entertainment. Let’s check out four tech features you can experience at your local Mazda dealership. more 1. SKYACTIV Perhaps the most touted of Mazda's tech features is the SKYACTIV technology, which is available with both manual and automatic transmissions and promises to make their vehicles more fuel-efficient without sacrificing performance. Every design decision Mazda makes, from the engine to the body, contributes to high MPG and low emissions by increasing fuel efficiency and reducing weight. Plus, SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control makes your drive smoother and less fatiguing by adjusting weight and power as you take corners. While this technology can make your car feel like an extension of your body to boost your confidence, making driving more joyful, even passengers can benefit from it even if they don't consciously notice it. 2. Mazda Connect Mazda's Connect has put information and entertainment at the touch of a finger since 2014. Onboard apps let you see vehicle issues, communicate with others, stream music, or connect your media to enjoy over Bluetooth, HDMI, or USB. The split-screen option for navigation is especially convenient, and you can easily update maps with an SD card. You're not limited to Mazda's apps, either.

Plus, you can access your contacts, music, maps, and other compatible apps. Android owners will also benefit from similar compatibility with Mazda Connect. 3. i-ACTIVSENSE A combination of cameras and radars keeps you safe when driving.

You're excited to head to the Mazda dealership and pick out a new car, but there's one problem: you haven't sold your old one yet. Instead of selling it, you should seriously consider trading it in. There are lots of trade-in benefits that you'll enjoy, ranging from convenience to cost savings, so let's examine in detail four major benefits of trading in your vehicle at your local Mazda dealership. more 1. You Can Reduce Your Car Loan Many buyers need to seek financing when buying a new vehicle. When you trade in your old car, you can potentially reduce the amount you need to borrow to purchase your new one. This is because we'll give you a trade-in credit to add to your down payment, reducing what you have to pay for your new car. If your car is only a few years old and in great condition, then the cost savings when buying a new vehicle can be significant. This is especially true if you're buying a highly affordable model next. 2. You Can Avoid Hassle Selling your car yourself can take a lot of work. You have to put up ads, vet buyers, potentially allow people to test drive the car, and then find a secure way to accept payment. There's none of that when trading in. You just have to drive to the dealership, get your car evaluated, sign a little paperwork, and then you're done. 3. You Can Save Time Selling your car to someone often takes a lot more time than trading in your car at the dealership. It may take you days or weeks to find an interested buyer who can pay up. Since you may need the sales money from your old car to help with your down payment on your new car, this can delay you getting a new vehicle. Plus, supervising test drives and meeting with prospective buyers can take time away from more important areas of your life. If you choose to trade in your vehicle, then you can visit the dealer, trade in your old car, and buy a new one on the same day. The process may be even quicker if you finance your new car through the dealership, too. 4. You Can Save Money On Repairs You can potentially save money by trading in your car rather than selling it. Before selling your car, you need to schedule repairs to get it in top shape and increase your chances of selling it for a great price. Dealerships are sometimes less picky and are often happy to accept a trade-in that isn't in pristine condition. After all, dealerships can very easily repair your car after buying it from you before selling it to the next interested buyer. If you're ready to trade in your car, then we're ready to help you. Come by Auffenberg Mazda of O'Fallon in Shiloh, IL today.
