At Lester Glenn Buick GMC, we know that purchasing a vehicle can be daunting and we want to make the process as simple as possible. After all, buying a car is a major decision and a big commitment. Your GMC dealer can help alleviate the stress of buying a car by being transparent and answering all your questions. Here are a few questions you should bring along when you visit our dealership.

What Is the Gas Mileage?

With fuel prices ever increasing, gas mileage is an important factor in car buying. Getting a car that fits your budget is great, but if the fuel economy is not up to par, your wallet will be negatively impacted. Make sure you can afford the fuel to drive your new car.

What Fees Are Included in the Sales Price?

Most people don’t realize that the MSRP (manufacturer-suggested retail price) is not the final price. Be sure to ask what fees are included in the bottom line. Additional fees are often assessed such as documentation fees, dealer prep fees, and sales tax. It’s important that you know the total final cost before agreeing to a purchase.

Can I Trade My Current Vehicle?

If you are interested in trading in your current vehicle, ask us about our vehicle exchange program. We can give you a quick quote in-person or through our website, and you can use the value of your current vehicle to put toward your next one.

Can I Test-Drive the Vehicle?

Always try before you buy. Unless you drive the car, how will you know if it handles well and is spacious enough for your needs? Taking it for a drive will help you know for sure that it’s the perfect car for you.

Do You Offer Financing?

It is convenient to finance through your GMC dealer. Ask our finance team about what kind of loan you can qualify for, along with other options such as a GMC lease.

If you are reaching the end of your Buick lease and don’t want to surrender the leased car at the end of your term, can you get an extension? The short answer is yes, although some stipulations apply. Maybe you just want to keep your Buick a little longer because you love it, or maybe you want to take a little extra time to shop for your next Buick. Whatever the reason, Lester Glenn Buick GMC can help!

How Does an Extension Work?

When you wish to extend your Buick lease, there are some things to consider. First, you can extend your lease in one-month increments up to six months after the original lease term. If you don’t return your leased Buick within 11 days after the lease term ends, it will automatically be extended for one month regardless of the reason.

Extra Miles Do Not Apply

One common misunderstanding is that a lease extension means you are allowed additional miles, but this is not true. You will not receive an additional mile allowance during the extension period. If you exceed the mileage restriction on the original lease term, you will be responsible for paying the additional rate per mile at the end of the lease term. Avoid any unnecessary travel within the extension period to ensure there are no additional charges.

Keep Paying Monthly

Another misconception is that a monthly payment is not necessary when in a lease extension period. This is also false. You must continue to maintain the monthly payment schedule during the extension period.

The GM-certified technicians at Lester Glenn Buick GMC in Toms River, NJ, can handle all your service needs. Schedule an appointment today. 

Oil and Filter Change
Regular oil and filter changes contribute to fuel efficiency and keep your engine free from contaminants.

Keeping to a service schedule will keep your GMC running smoothly.

Battery Testing
Cold weather can take a toll on battery performance and diminish the charge level. No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road in hotter weather because of a dead battery. Schedule a battery check as spring arrives so our technicians can check the battery charge, cables, and connections to keep you on the road.

Brake Inspection
Brakes are an essential part of keeping you safe on the road. Your brake system comprises several components, including rotors, calipers, and pads. Excessive wear can put your safety at risk and affect performance. When you schedule service, our technicians will thoroughly inspect and recommend any needed repairs or replacements.

Replenish Fluids
Your car relies on several different fluids to run efficiently. The brake, transmission, power steering, and windshield wiper fluids should remain full. As part of our service, we will replenish or change all your vehicle fluids at your scheduled appointment time.

Small jobs or big jobs, the 2024 GMC Sierra lineup can handle them all. GMC covers the gamut of towing and hauling capability, from the light-duty GMC Sierra 1500 to a diverse selection of heavy-duty trucks. Lester Glenn Buick GMC is summarizing the capabilities of our three most popular models.  

2024 GMC Sierra 1500
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is a light-duty truck sufficient for many drivers’ day-to-day needs. This trim can haul anything up to a maximum towing capacity of 13,200 lbs and support a payload of 2,240 lbs when properly equipped. Whether you’re a contractor or a weekend warrior, it does not disappoint.

2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD
The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD can handle larger loads, with a maximum towing capacity of 22,070 lbs and a payload of 4,178 lbs. Whether you’re towing a camper, a chip trailer, or a skid steer loader, this truck makes light work of it.

2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD
The impressive towing capability of the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD allows you to haul massive multi-car trailers, fifth-wheel campers, gooseneck flatbed trailers, and large livestock carriers. It supports a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 lbs and a payload of up to 7,442 lbs, allowing you to complete the toughest workload.

What’s the Catch?
Good question. There are two. First, each truck has multiple towing and hauling capabilities depending on how it’s outfitted; maximum capacities and certain applications (like a gooseneck trailer) require specific configurations and tow packages you should discuss with your GMC dealer. Second – and this is true of every truck – you cannot tow and haul the truck’s maximum capacities simultaneously; each has to be deducted from the other.

To understand the trim levels and engine choices across the lineup, we invite you to visit our Toms River, NJ, GMC dealership. Experience GMC Sierra trucks’ capabilities and see what you have been missing. We are eager to show you your new work truck today!
