The 2022 Buick Encore GX is a nimble SUV that has very nice power and great fuel economy. You will also appreciate all of the ways it will help keep you safe. Its many standard safety features include:

Forward Collision Warning

Your vehicle will constantly monitor the road in front while you’re driving. If it detects a potential collision, you will get both an audible and visual alert.

Pedestrian Detection

In addition to looking out for other cars, your vehicle will also scan the road for any pedestrians.

Automatic Emergency Braking

If your Buick Encore GX detects a collision with a car or pedestrian and you don’t take action, it will automatically apply the brakes.

Lane Departure Warning

With lane departure warning, your car will give you an alert if it senses that you’ve inadvertently drifted out of your lane.

Lane Keep Assist

If you do drift and don’t heed the warning, the car can help guide you back into your lane.

Rearview Camera

If you get nervous backing up, this rearview camera will give you great peace of mind. A clear image of the area behind your car will show up on your touchscreen every time you put the car in reverse.

Teen Driver System

If you will ever hand the keys over to a young driver, you’ll especially like this feature. In addition to monitoring their driving habits, you can also put limits on how fast they can drive and how loud the stereo can get.

To take the new Buick Encore GX out for a test drive to see how these safety components work, come down to Lester Glenn Buick GMC near Lakewood.

If you’re looking for a GMC vehicle, you basically have two choices: buy or lease. If you don’t want to be tied to just one car for a while, leasing is the right move.

Plus, this can be more cost-efficient, as a lease is generally less expensive than financing. You will also have a couple of different GMC payment options.

Make Monthly Payments

Typically, when someone signs a lease, they will agree to pay for it on a monthly basis. While you may not need a down payment as you would when buying, there are usually some initial fees. Then, for however long the lease is for, you will make monthly payments that also include an interest rate.

Pay For it All Upfront

The other way to pay for your leased vehicle is to put up all of the money right away. There are two big benefits of going this route: You’ll pay less interest, and you will probably get a lower interest rate.

In addition, you won’t have to worry about any monthly payments. The downside, however, is that – depending on the length of the lease – this may require putting up a sizable amount of money.

Find the Right Lease for You at Lester Glenn

There is a lot to think about with a lease, and it can get confusing. If you’re looking for some guidance, get in touch with Lester Glenn Buick GMC near Manahawkin. Or, if you know exactly what you want, you can complete the leasing process online or over the phone. Once everything is done, you can then come down to our dealership to pick up your vehicle.

When you signed the agreement for your GMC Acadia lease, you entered into a binding contract. This doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t end the lease early. If this is something you want to do, here we go over your options:

Pay the Fee

You agreed to an early termination fee when you signed your lease. To see what this is, dig out your agreement or contact the dealership. Because this can typically be high, this may not be your best option. Fortunately, there are others:

You Can Buy It

With interest rates really low right now, it may actually make more financial sense for you to take out a loan to pay for the vehicle. You might find that this would reduce your monthly payments.

You Can Sell It

While you can’t sell it while it’s still under a lease, you can buy it and then sell it. You may also want to talk to the dealership to see if they would be willing to buy it from you.

You Can Transfer It

Finally, if the other choices aren’t feasible, you may want to think about transferring it to somebody so they will take the lease over. It is, however, important to remember that your name will still be on the lease. You may also need to pay a sizable fee to do this.

If you leased your GMC Acadia from Lester Glenn Buick GMC, get in touch with us to learn more about your options. Or, just come see us in Toms River and we can help you come up with a solution that best fits your needs.

Trying to decide between the GMC Yukon and the Chevy Tahoe? Let us help you make up your mind with this brief comparison from our Buick and GMC dealers.

Space and Comfort 

If you need a huge SUV that can accommodate a lot of people, the GMC Yukon won’t disappoint. With front- and second-row benches, you will be able to fit up to nine people. Plus, unlike many three-row SUVs, the third row in the GMC Yukon is spacious for kids and adults alike. Plus, cloth upholstery and power-adjustable front seats are standard. 

The Chevy Tahoe only has enough room for eight people, and its third row is cramped and best left for kids.

Tech Features

If you want your SUV to be chock-full of the latest tech features, you’ll love what you will find inside the GMC Yukon. For starters, you will get an infotainment system with a 10.2-inch touchscreen that is very easy to use. Other standard components include: 

• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
• HD and satellite radio 
• Wi-Fi hot spot 
• Six USB ports 
• Remote start 
• Six-speaker stereo system
• Bluetooth® connectivity

While the Chevy Tahoe has some of the same features, the infotainment system isn’t as user-friendly.
 

Off-Roading 

One of the main reasons why people decide to go with the GMC Yukon is because of its excellent off-road ability. With the AT4 trim, you will be able to go almost anywhere thanks to features like skid plates, hill descent control, a two-speed transfer case, and four-wheel drive. You won’t find all of these off-road amenities in the Chevy Tahoe.

If you’re still undecided, it is time to take a test drive. Come down to Lester Glenn Buick GMC near Lakewood to take the GMC Yukon out for a spin!

If you want to lease a car, it’s important to know what the process involves. For a GMC lease, you will have to get pre-approved, which you can learn all about when you visit Lester Glenn Buick GMC.

Getting Approved for a GMC Lease 

Because leasing involves making a down payment and monthly payments, you will need to get approved before you can drive home in your car.

One of the first steps involves looking at your credit score. If you have a good score, you shouldn’t have too much difficulty getting approved. However, you may run into some issues if your credit score isn’t great.

Dealing with a Bad Credit Score 

At Lester Glenn Buick GMC, we work with customers who have many different credit scores – some good, some bad, and some in-between. Even if your score is on the low side, we’re confident that we can help you secure a lease.

If you have a friend or family member with a higher score, you might want to consider using that person as a co-signer. Taking some time to do things to raise your score – like consolidating your debt – could be something else to think about.

Important Leasing Tips

In addition to checking your credit, there are some other key areas we will need to look at before finalizing your lease agreement. You will also need to show us proof of income, which can come from a couple of recent paychecks. A current insurance card is also essential, as is a valid driver’s license. 

If you have any concerns about the leasing process, get in touch with Lester Glenn Buick GMC near Lakewood. We’ll also gladly answer any questions you may have about our models in stock or current specials.

For one thing, you’ll be able to quickly get rid of something you no longer need. Plus, trading in a vehicle offers a variety of other benefits.

Having Money for Something Better 

The whole point of buying another car is to get an upgrade, right? With a trade-in, you will immediately have some extra funds to help with whatever your new car may be. Even an older vehicle that isn’t in the best of shape will still have some value, and you can put it towards your down payment. 

Avoiding Questionable Buyers 

You can of course sell your car yourself, but are you prepared to have strangers come to your home? Not only is that a little unsettling, but you just don’t know who is a serious buyer or if someone will give you the price you’re actually looking for.

Thinking about investing in a pre-owned GMC Yukon? This is a smart decision for many reasons, but before you sign on the dotted line, make sure to ask our GMC dealers the following questions so you’re fully informed.

“What’s the mileage?”

Right away, you know that a pre-owned GMC Yukon will have a ton of mileage under its hood. However, just because it may have over 100,000 miles doesn’t make it a deal-breaker.

GMC vehicles are known for their durability and toughness, and even one with a lot of miles should still have many years of life left. 

“How much space does it have?” 

Will you need to load your SUV with a lot of people? Then the GMC Yukon is perfect for you.

Depending on your setup, your GMC Yukon may be able to accommodate up to nine people. It will also give you tons of room for your stuff, with some models offering close to 100 cubic feet of total space. 

“What about safety features?”

Because you may frequently be transporting a bunch of people, safety might be one of your priorities. Fortunately, many pre-owned GMC Yukon models come with a variety of safety features.

The 2017 model, for example, has front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and the Teen Driver system. Many other features may also have been added over time, such as forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. 

“Are there any specials available?” 

At Lester Glenn Buick GMC, we routinely run offers not only on our new vehicles, but our pre-owned models as well. We also offer lease and financing specials you may be interested in. 

“What do certified pre-owned (CPO) models offer?” 

In addition to pre-owned vehicles, you may also want to consider a CPO GMC Yukon. These models have to pass a 172-point inspection and come with extensive warranties and 24/7 roadside assistance. 

To get more information about our pre-owned GMC Yukon models, visit our GMC dealership near Lakewood. We’ll help you find a payment plan that best suits your budget.

If you’re in the market for a compact pickup, you might be having trouble sorting through your options. With so many different models to pick from, choosing one can be tough.

If you’ve had your eye on the new GMC Canyon for sale, you may want to see how this truck compares to others. Visit Lester Glenn Buick GMC to see how the GMC Canyon matches up against the Chevy Colorado.

Handling

Pickups sometimes have a reputation for being difficult to drive, but that’s not an issue with the GMC Canyon. This GMC truck offers sharp steering and strong brakes, which make it a pleasure to operate. It also has an excellent suspension system, which sometimes makes you feel like you’re driving an SUV.

You won’t make that mistake with the Chevy Colorado, as it always feels like a truck. Plus, its suspension system isn’t the best at soaking up road flaws, as some critics have noted.

Towing and Hauling

The GMC Canyon may be on the smaller side of the pickup truck class, but it can certainly hold its own when it comes to towing. When properly equipped, you will be able to tow up to 7,700 pounds, making it a class leader. It also has a very impressive maximum payload, allowing you to haul up to 1,605 pounds.

The Chevy Colorado has the same tow rating as the GMC Canyon. However, its payload capacity maxes out at 1,578 pounds.

To see how these two trucks differ in person, you need to take a test drive. Visit Lester Glenn Buick GMC near Stafford to get behind the wheel of the GMC Canyon today!
