surprise car for christmas

 

A car is one of the most exciting, extravagant gifts a person can give. If that’s something you’ve been thinking about, we can help you make it happen. When customers come to Velocity Mazda staff to plan that kind of a surprise, we get as excited as they do. It takes some planning, but it’s possible to surprise someone with a new Mazda for Christmas.

Step 1 — Choosing the Car

A car is a huge commitment. If you’re going to give a gift that big, you definitely want to make sure it’s the perfect one for the recipient. This part takes the most undercover work. Hopefully, you’ve been listening to their wants and needs the past few months, and you already have an idea what they might like.

Do they need to transport a lot of people or gear? If so, a CX-5 or CX-9 provides extra seating and carrying capacity. Have they always dreamed of a sporty two-seater? The 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the most fun-to-drive sports car you can buy. If they’re a new driver or heading off to college, we wrote an article on Top Mazda Picks for Students. In terms of both versatility and class, a Mazda6 takes top honors for a mid-sized sedan.

Step 2 — Visit Velocity Mazda

This can be a little tricky. It’s always best to take a test drive before you choose a car. If you can, stop by with your loved one “just for fun.”

Get in touch with a Velocity Mazda staff member early in the game and we can help you evaluate what type of car will most delight your loved one. Let us know what your plan is and we can help when you bring your loved one by. We’ll steer them toward test driving a selection and ask key questions to find out how they really feel without letting them know what you’re up to.

Step 3 — Talk Financing

You can fill out a credit application online so you don’t have to make a separate trip to the dealership. It’s possible to get pre-approved before you start looking at specific vehicles. Our financial services include the following:

  • Competitive rates from both Mazda and local lenders
  • Fast approval
  • Additional services to help protect your investment
  • Extended warranty financing

Your credit doesn’t have to be perfect to qualify for financing. Our team can overcome most credit problems and will tailor a loan package specifically for you.

If you need your loved one’s income to qualify for financing, keep in mind they’ll know if you use their information to apply. We can work with you to complete the deal after Christmas day if necessary.

Step 4 — Plan Your Mazda for Christmas Surprise!

We’re closed Christmas Day, so you’ll need somewhere to hide the car if you’re planning a Christmas morning surprise. Consider enlisting a neighbor’s help and hiding it in their garage until it’s time for the big reveal. We’ll help you get it there if you make arrangements by Saturday, December 22.

Wrap the keys in a box or plan a scavenger hunt that leads to the vehicle’s location. Make sure you ask your neighbor or another family member to have their camera ready to capture the surprise. You’ll treasure the memory almost as much as your loved one will treasure their new Mazda.
