Here at Scott Mazda, we believe the Mazda finance process should be easy and accessible for every driver. That’s why we offer helpful tools for finding terms that fit your needs and share everything you need to know about the financing process. Here’s a closer look at your APR (annual percentage rate) and how you can reduce it. Raise Your Credit Score Your credit score can significantly affect your financing terms and options. If you’re interested in reducing your APR, it’s important to improve your credit score first. You can do this by reducing the amount of debt on your cards, meeting payments regularly, or even allowing time to pass from the last hard inquiry on your credit score. Pay Off a Little Extra A few factors to consider during the vehicle financing process include down payment, monthly payment, and APR. If you pay more than your monthly payment or pay specifically toward the principal balance rather than just accrued interest, then the total cost of the loan will be lower. That means the costs you pay in APR are lower. It also means you have more leverage for refinancing. Begin the Refinance Process Before you consider refinancing, you’ll want to gain leverage. That means increasing your credit score and paying down the principal, among other things. With a good payment history, your lender may be willing to adapt your loan terms and conditions, so it’s best to refinance at least after the halfway point of your loan.

Find a vehicle you’ll love at a price you’ll love with the support and resources available here at our dealership.

Here at Scott Mazda, you’ll find the parts and systems you need to keep your vehicle safe and reliable, including high-quality Mazda tires that will help you to navigate even the iciest or muddiest terrain. Our Mazda vehicles have many great features for traction and safe driving, including those new Mazda tires and i-ACTIV AWD®. Here’s a closer look at how these features improve your traction. more i-ACTIV AWD® and Traction What is i-ACTIV AWD®? As the name indicates, the signature Mazda all-wheel drive system is designed to help you safely navigate uneven, rocky, or slippery driving conditions. In a standard all-wheel-drive system, power is distributed to the wheels as needed. This also means less power is distributed when conditions allow for bigger fuel savings. The i-ACTIV AWD® system takes this further, giving you even more control in inclement conditions. It has over two dozen sensors that instantly monitor real-time road conditions and adjust torque distribution. It also features a Front-wheel Slip-warning Detection System™ and the G-Vectoring Torque Control System™, which means you’ll have extra control when it matters most. New MAZDA Tires and Traction One of the best ways to keep your vehicle responsive and safe on every drive is through tire service and care. You’ll want to get your tires changed no less than every five years – don’t forget your spare -- and schedule Mazda tire rotations every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to ensure even tire wear. Our team will also inspect tread depth regularly so you know when it’s time for grippier tires. AWD Versus Tires So what matters more for good traction, the i-ACTIV AWD® system or new tires? You'll want both for the best in traction and safe driving. Learn more about the great features of new Mazda models and order new Mazda tires with the support of Scott Mazda today.

Not only do we carry a comprehensive inventory of Mazda vehicles for any occasion, but we’re also sharing news and details to keep you informed on what your favorite automaker is up to. Today we’re excited about the long-overdue return of rotary engines to the Mazda vehicle lineup. more What Are Rotary Engines? Rotary engines were first introduced in Mazda vehicles in the 1960s. They are the brainchild of mechanical engineer Felix Wankel and are typically lighter and smaller than piston engines. That also means they have an impressive power-to-weight ratio that can boost performance and capability with every ride. Rotary engines are made up of a three-sided rotor that spins within a housing, which means the vehicle is quieter and smoother while still producing impressive power. Rotary engines were a long-time staple of Mazda vehicles, also proving popular in many different classes of motorsports throughout the years. They’re also common to kit cars and custom builders. Rotary Engines on the Rise: A Comeback Story The rotary engines in Mazda vehicles were discontinued over a decade ago, but they’re seeing a renaissance in a whole new way—under the hood of upcoming Mazda hybrids. They’ll be used to help extend the range on models like the Mazda MX-30, where the power-to-weight ratio can make all the difference. Since we can expect to see more hybrid vehicles from Mazda in the future, the rotary engine will likely have a long and successful run. A Heritage of Innovation in MAZDA Cars Mazda vehicles have long been bastions of innovation and ingenuity, and the Mazda rotary engine is just one example.

If you live in the Allentown area and you are wondering where to find a Mazda showroom near me, make Scott Mazda your first stop. We’ll help you on every step of the vehicle purchasing process, even before you visit our dealership. Here are the first three steps you’ll want to take on the new vehicle purchasing process before visiting our Mazda dealership. more Check Your Credit Score Your credit score plays a vital role in the vehicle purchasing process since it tells the lender how safe or risky you are to lend money to. When leasing a vehicle, a higher credit score is typically required, and the higher your credit score, the more favorable the terms available to you. You’ll also have financing options if you have a lower credit score, but it’s helpful to know in advance. Set Your Budget Once you’ve checked your credit score, you’ll want to set your new car budget. Consider the Mazda financing variables, including down payment, term length, monthly payments, and interest costs. Doing these calculations in advance will ensure that you can find and finance the vehicle you like best without breaking the bank. Do Your Research You have lots of exciting Mazda vehicles to pick from, and narrowing the collection down can be a little overwhelming. It’s a good idea to answer some basic questions about your driving needs before visiting our showroom, like whether you’re leasing or purchasing, choosing a new or pre-owned vehicle, and whether you’ll drive home in a sedan or SUV. The more you know about your options, the easier it will be to pick out the perfect model when the time comes. Why Shop at Scott MAZDA? Here at Scott Mazda, you’ll find top models for every driving occasion and the information and resources you need to take that perfect vehicle home today. Start by checking your credit, setting your budget, and researching the cars you like best; we’ll help with the rest.

With the support of the Mazda service team here at Scott Mazda, you’ll be able to protect and maintain your car or SUV for a long time to come. Because comprehensive warranties cover our vehicles, you can also get the care and service you need without breaking the bank. That said, it’s useful to know what practices to avoid, so you don’t accidentally negate your warranty coverage, including the ones that follow. Driving in Tough Terrain Our vehicles are designed to handle snow, ice, and gravel, but it’s best to avoid heading into the wilderness in your new Mazda. True off-roading can put a severe strain on your suspension, alignment, tires, and more, and evidence of extreme off-road driving can void a warranty. Overloading the Tow If you’re on the search for tow-ready rides, you’re sure to love our powerful Mazda SUVs. However, checking the manual before loading up is important to ensure you’re not trailering too much weight for the vehicle. Improper towing or towing overweight loads can both void your warranty coverage. Natural Disasters Disasters happen. Unfortunately, the effects of natural disasters, such as flooding or fire, will not be protected under warranty coverage. In many cases, these conditions can total the vehicle, meaning the cost of repairs is higher than the car's value, so try to get your vehicle to a safe location, if possible. Substandard Parts Here at Scott Mazda, we pride ourselves on using high-quality Mazda parts for repairs and replacements. While third-party aftermarket parts may be more affordable at the onset, some suffer from improper fit and finish that can actually damage your vehicle. Damage stemming from third-party parts or accessories will void your warranty.   No matter what stage of the car ownership process you’re on, Scott Mazda is here to help.
