This month we want to spotlight two great Buicks, the Envision and the Encore, and highlight some of their brilliant features, which you should consider. We will contrast the two to help you make an informed decision about which model of Buick’s line of crossover SUVs is best for you. The Envision Doesn’t its name say it all? Envision is, of course, a pun to think about what you can envision for your family’s ease of transportation. It draws out ideas of what’s possible, what’s likely, when owning the Envision. Buick wants you to think of this as a can-do vehicle, an SUV with a positive attitude. It’s a supersized small luxury SUV, with bling and pizzazz. The 2019 Buick Envision has been updated, in its design, and we think it’s something worth taking a look at. For all models and trim levels, this SUV has had its rear valance reworked along with its exhaust tip. It has a sleek look to it, now more than ever, and it really gives the Envision a refined sense of spirit. What sort of changes did Buick make, specifically? Let’s have a closer look: First, there are two gasoline engine options for the Buick Envision, and the exhaust design depends on which engine you select. We are excited about the new look and style this renovated exhaust design carries. Of the two engines offered, the first is the 2.5L I-4 LCV, naturally-aspirated, which is the base model engine for the Buick Envision. It features a single-outlet stainless steel exhaust, which is hidden from sight. Now tucked under the vehicle, the exhaust tip doesn’t show. That means a more sporty, stylish look. Also take note: the Envision has a metal-look valance now that replaced the black fascia treatment of previous models. The metal valance gives the Envision a more integrated look. Cleaner design, trendier feel—that’s what Buick has given us. Its 2.5L inline four-cylinder engine gives you 197 horsepower with a torque of 192 pound-feet. That’s a six-speed automatic transmission and is standard for the base, Preferred and Essence models. That’s enough horsepower to climb hills and pull a trailer along. It’s got the power and stamina you want for city driving or a cruise in the countryside. The second option is the 2.0L 1-4 turbocharged LTG, the next level up. This model engine carries a dual exhaust treatment. With the 2019 model, the tips of the exhaust pipe are squared off, replacing the rounded tips seen on the 2017 and 2018 Envision models. If you opt for premium trim, then you get the metal-look lower valance as well, replacing the black version of it standard in previous models. This option, the turbocharged 2.0L, is matched to the nine-speed automatic transmission (from GM) and comes with standard all-wheel drive. The turbocharged engine delivers 252 horsepower with 295 pound-feet of torque—a powertrain worth its salt. This engine comes standard for both the Premium 1 and Premium 2 models of the 2019 Buick Envision. Both engines have excellent gas mileage, averaging 29MPG highway and 22MPG city. And for a crossover SUV, we know those are good numbers. Moreover, it was ranked by US News and World Report as #14 in the Luxury Compact SUVs category, putting it next to the 2019 Infiniti QX50 and 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio (both sit at #12) and the 2019 Lincoln MKC (#15). That ranking carries a score of 7.9 out of 10, based on thirty-two specifications for evaluation. Translation: the 2019 Buick Envision keeps good company and can roll with the best of them, and it is far more affordable than other Luxury Compact SUVs—without sacrificing the bells and whistles you want in a compact SUV. What do the experts say about it? US News and World Report gave it high marks for the following: spacious, supportive seats; good gas mileage; and user-friendly tech features. Though it fell down in some categories (less than nimble handling; its rivals have more up-scale interiors), US News found noteworthy some of its new features for the 2019 model. Those include: the nine-speed automatic transmission with turbo engine; new headlights and taillights; updates to existing tech features; and more torque for a turbo engine. Those new features make certain that you need to give the 2019 Buick Envision a close, thorough look! US News’ conclusions are pretty positive as well: “The Buick Envision is a pretty good SUV. It certainly delivers on some fronts… it has a lower starting price than most of its class rivals…” The 2019 Buick Envision’s starting price is around $32,000 and with that pricing, it gets you into the luxury SUV class easily. And what about Edmunds and its assessment of the 2019 Envision? They noted the quietness of the cabin at highway speeds, the comfortable seats and ride which the Envision sports, and they liked the four USB ports, as well as, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as standard features. They gave it a ranking of 7.2 out of 10 and named it their #9 Small SUV pick, beating out the Ford Escape in its top-ten rankings. A few features we like on the 2019 Encore: It has intelligent all-wheel drive It offers a powerful wireless charging in a vertical charging pocket It comes with excellent safety features, like Surround Vision Its look has a higher level of refinement, from its exquisite grille to the sculpted rear profile What we really love on the 2019 Envision is its trimmer, new look for the exhaust system. It says, “city slicker.” It says, “stylish and confident.” It says, “smooth and refined.” It cleans up the SUV’s exterior look and it features the profile of the overall design (rather than having the tail pipe sticking out and looking less classy). And when you are rolling around Charlotte, driving up Providence Road or cruising over to NoDa for some unique cuisine, you want your vehicle to say something about you. You want it to convey a sense of style and refinement—that’s what the 2019 Buick Envision says about you, as you ride around Charlotte. So imagine rolling up to Southpark Mall for a shopping excursion in the 2019 Encore. See yourself riding in the sleek, modern design, as you pull into a parking spot and jump out for lunch and some browsing at Nordstrom. Come and test drive one today! The Encore US News and World Report ranks the 2019 Buick Encore as—wait for it—#7 in Subcompact SUVs. That beats out the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, 2019 Ford EcoSport, and the 2019 Toyota C-HR. That ranking of #7 was arrived at by examining over 46 pieces of research and data, and evaluating the Subcompact SUV across many rigorous standards. When evaluating the 2019 Buick Encore, US News found it scored highly in the following categories: nice interior with lots of standard features; user-friendly infotainment system; nimble handling; and outstanding predicted reliability rating. Though it scored less well in the categories of its base engine’s powertrain or its pricing compared to its rivals, it did score for its reshuffled trim, which is new for 2019. With drivetrains that can be either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and engine configurations sporting 138-153 horsepower, it’s definitely worth your consideration. And, with 24-26MPG in the city, and 29-31MPG on the highway, its fuel efficiency is definitely a selling point. In fact, US News calls its fuel efficiency estimates “above-average.” And one of US News’ concluding thoughts about the Buick 2019 Encore? “The Encore is one of the best subcompact SUVs you can buy.” And Edmunds gave it good marks for the Encore’s hushed cabin at highway speeds, the generous standard tech and safety features it has, and its maneuverable size. They ranked it #10 for their X-Small SUV category, ranking among the leading ten subcompact SUVs on the market today. And we think it deserves a closer look at some of its specs and features, so let’s see what Buick is up to with its 2019 Encore subcompact SUV. With ratings like 8.1/10 from US News and World Report or a 4.6/5 from Kelley Blue Book, its features deserve your attention. Buick’s tagline for this subcompact SUV is a fitting one: “Sized to fit the way your life moves.” We agree, because if you want to get into the SUV vehicle category but don’t want an enormous vehicle to cope with, then this 2019 Buick Encore is just the right size. You get the look and feel, along with the nimble driving, of an SUV without the typical bulk of an SUV. The base model for the Encore starts at $23,200 MSRP and its standard features include: LED-accented taillamps, a 1.4L 4-cylinder Turbo Engine, an enhanced 4.2” Driver Information Center, and also the ease of the keyless open and start system. The Essence, its top model, starts at $29,300 and these features are standard: leather-appointed seats, rear cross traffic alert, heated driver and front-passenger seats, and heated leather-wrapped steering wheel (what a great feature for winter!). Conclusion For those new to the SUV game, the Encore is definitely a great start and will give you a fresh take on driving. It’s nimble, affordable, and gives you a taste of luxury. It’s a good pick and we recommend a test drive to see what it’s all about. But if you’re of the more fashionable taste and want into the luxury SUV game, then the 2019 Buick Envision is hands-down the best choice. You get some sleek new features, with its redefined fascia trim, you get an excellent powertrain, some great luxury features on the interior, and most of the bells and whistles without the higher price tag of its rivals. We believe the 2019 Buick Envision has staying power. Though a new entry into the SUV market, having been introduced in 2016, “it marked a milestone for the American auto industry” says Car and Driver, in a recent review. They note that it “currently stands as third-best selling model.” And one thing that summed up their review was the following: “Best of all, the added refinements come with a price reduction. Depending on the trim, buyers can save between $1400 and $2400 over previous models.” So you get a better, cleaner trim with more modern shaping, and it costs less than outdated styling on earlier models. That’s a win-win for you, the car buyer! And Car and Driver also made a bold claim about the 2019 Encore: “In fact, it just might be the vehicle that best embodies the Buick brand, completely without pretension or too many compromises.” In Buick’s words, “Versatility has found its style”—the tagline Buick has rolled out with its newly updated Encore for 2019. And we agree. The 2019 Encore has style and it gives you a lot more, both under the hood and in the cabin, at a lower price point. You get luxury and affordability. That is a winning combo.   Pop over to Liberty Buick GMC to test drive either the Encore or the sleek new Envision. We have experts ready to help.

Once you have found the car you want—you’ve run your credit, signed the paperwork, and climbed into the car to drive it off the lot. But as you’re leaving, you start worrying if you can afford what you just bought. You run the numbers in your head and a bit of panic shoots through you: “what if I have stretched my finances too far? What if I should have bought that car, not this one?” But, here’s the thing, you don’t have to fear the car-buying process. Making a few smart budgeting moves can make all the difference. According to a 2017 article in Business Insider, Warren Buffett—you know, the guy who is worth somewhere around 84.4 billion dollars—always buys his vehicles at a reduced rate. Actually, what he does is he finds one that has had some minor damage (hail, fender-bender, scrapes and dents, but never anything too serious), purchases it for a fraction of the true cost then has it repaired. He then drives said car until the wheels fall off or his daughter is too embarrassed to ride with him, whichever comes first. So why does a man who could buy every vehicle in America choose to hunt for bargains when he car shops? Because it’s worth it in the end. Within the sea of vehicles out there, and the fluctuating prices of those vehicles, major deals can be found. It just takes a little time and effort. Buffet’s Key Ideas Buy what you can afford. Think about wealth accumulation, not accumulating things and goods. Spending less money, overall, on things and sticking with the essentials in life—this is what Buffet would do. He’s owned the same house since 1958, and he’s never moved from it, despite being one of the world’s top billionaires. Eat cheaply. Warren Buffet’s breakfast consists of a morning trip to McDonald’s and he keeps his purchases below $5/day for breakfast. Maybe that choice isn’t good for his health, but his idea is good for his budget: you don’t need to splurge on food and you can be economical about the choices you’re making. The True Cost of a Car Though it’s true the value of a new car drops the moment it is driven off the lot, as long as you aren’t breaking the bank to buy it, it could still be worth the price, and the drop in price, just so long as you have done the research and you know you can afford the (true) cost of the vehicle. Here are a few hidden car costs that (non-savvy) buyers often fail to calculate: Financing Charges. Paying for a car in cash is usually your best option, but let’s be honest, how many people are actually able to do this—besides our friend, Warren Buffett? For those of us who do need to get a bit of financing, it’s important to note that throwing at least a little cash as a down payment can drastically reduce the monthly cost. It might also be a good idea to try and extend the loan and try and find the lowest interest rate. These are numbers and scenarios you will need to spend some time going through, and it could take time—which is why most car buyers don’t bother looking into the myriad was a car can be financed. Do your research and take your time, it will be worth it. Tax Credits. “Hybrids and electric cars seem great, but they cost so much!” We hear this all the time, and there is some truth to it—but there’s more to it than that. Yes, you will pay more initially for these types of vehicles, but you do save on gas and energy while you own the car. And that’s not all: you can also receive plenty of national, state, and local tax credits that can completely justify that hefty price tag. Buying these vehicles used can help drive the price down as well. Insurance Premiums. Car insurance, after the initial price of the car, is usually where you will spend the most money. The problem is companies charge different premiums depending on the type of car you buy. And it’s not just the make and model of car you get, these premiums are also based on the style—that is trim level, body style, etc. Usually, specialty vehicles (performance-oriented) have higher premiums, but it’s difficult to tell just how much you will be paying until you play around with the numbers and vehicle types. insure.com is a great website with a calculator that can help you crunch the numbers and find the best price for the car you want to purchase. Maintenance and Repair. Though cars these days are usually able to go longer than ever without having maintenance and repair, every car driver knows there will be a need to take the car in for work to be done, whether it’s minor or major repairs. Because of this, it’s important to spend time going over warranty options. Luckily, at Liberty, we will not only provide you with all your warranty options, we also have expert technicians who can do any maintenance and repair on site.

Heard the rumors yet? If not, let us tell you: Buick is contemplating launching a crossover, and its would-be name is the Enspire. Obviously, within a name like Enspire, they hope to inspire owners and would-be owners of crossovers. And let’s be honest: we could use the inspiration. With every carmaker in the crossover market, everything is looking rather drab, rather typical. We need something new, something different. So, hopefully Buick can inspire us with a totally new approach to the crossover. Let’s look at what a Buick crossover could mean. On December 11 th, Buick trademarked the word “Enspire,” which they had trademarked back in 2015 also. So the recent renewed trademarking tells us one simple thing: GM must be serious about bringing a new vehicle to market. The first rumor about a possible Buick Crossover is that it could be a battery-electric vehicle. Back in April 2018 in China, at the Beijing Autoshow, Buick showed a concept vehicle—a potential prototype for the Enspire—a battery-electric model. Though the company did not unveil how that system works, they said it was built with “eMotion electric propulsion technology” and could travel up to 370 miles on a single charge. The all-electric powertrain sported 550 horsepower, which can go from zero to 60 in just four seconds. If the concept vehicle unveiled will translate into concrete features, then having such a powerful all-electric vehicle would be a very bold innovation. And if GM can pull it off, then what could that mean for future models of its numerous name brands? What would a Jeep or a Ram or a GM full SUV look like with such technologies installed? If they can make such technology both affordable and reliable, then having a fleet of vehicles that are completely free from the gasoline pump would be a true gamechanger in the industry. More importantly, it opens up Buick’s SUV line of vehicles: added the Enspire, an all-electric vehicle, to the Encore, Envision and Enclave will mean that Buick isn’t just adding yet another crossover, but that it’s also joining the market of hybrids and electric vehicles. And if they can take it by storm, it could nudge the whole auto industry forward. All we need to do is remember the near $4/gallon prices of a decade ago, and the rage of the SUV in the same moment, to remember how painful it was to own an SUV during a time of pricey oil. We may not have high oil or gasoline prices, but we have become more conscientiousness of fuel costs. So, for Buick potentially to bring in a crossover SUV and open up options, well, the future will thank them. The value of such concept vehicles, like the one Buick shown in China, is that it is conceptual, which means it represents a set of ideas and technologies that could trickle down into most of GM’s brands in the coming years. Concept vehicles help us see what’s possible —so what GM is doing could really open up new ways of building vehicles in America. Think of it: with a battery pack that supports inductive charging capability and which can refurbish 80 percent of its charge in just 40 minutes, it means that the Enspire would not limit ordinary driving patterns at all, but work within how we drive. Who wouldn’t pick an electric vehicle that cuts away the hold of the gas station and liberates its driver to go off the gasoline grid. That’d be innovative, for sure. Where does a new crossover like the Enspire leave Buick’s Envision? That’s hard to say, but it’s entirely possible that the Enspire would replace the Envision. It’s also possible that the trade wars with China and the newly instated tariffs will put pressure on Buick, which builds the Envision in China and imports it, to move production to the USA. And where would the Enspire put its competitors? Audi would certainly be a contender, but if Buick can deliver an affordable vehicle packed with all the major, trendsetting—even groundbreaking—technologies, then Audi wouldn’t be the presumptive competitor it first seems to be. People want cost savings, which an all-electric vehicle assures, and they want the technology to be cost affordable—within reach of the middle class. Buick is positioned to deliver, if they can make this work. Like you, we at Liberty are excited to see what Buick may bring to market. We will keep you posted.

The end of the year is an important time for savvy car buyers. Typically, this is when dealers are trying to get rid of the year’s stock to make way for the new models, often leading to deals that reduce car prices by hundreds, if not thousands. It is also a good time to buy because most dealerships are trying to set prices low enough to maximize the chances of meeting their annual sales goals. Don’t Wait to Buy that New Vehicle You have done your research and know which vehicle best suits your needs. You have spent time exploring prices and what you can best afford. Now imagine yourself walking into the car lot and eyeing that vehicle you have been wanting. The test drive is over and it is the end of the day. You may be tired and not in the mood to deal with a salesman, but you came with the intent of getting a good deal and you, the savvy consumer, are determined to make that happen.   Buying at the end of the year is propitious on a much larger scale because it is typically when dealers are most anxious to close a sale in order to meet or exceed the year’s quota. Go vehicle shopping the last two weeks in December and you will find yourself negotiating over a sale that must be made. These two weeks are the absolute best in timing, as new models will be arriving soon and the ones remaining must be sold to make room.   As with any significant purchase, research, patience, and mediation skills are necessary. And in a perfect vehicle-buying situation, you the customer, as well as the salesperson, are both benefiting from the process. Waiting until the end of the workday is good, holding out until the end of the month is better, but if you can withstand the temptation to buy until those last two weeks in December, you will be able to give yourself quite a nice post holiday gift and for the best possible price. What We Have to Offer Though this time of year is typically best for purchasing, there are no guarantees that you will save a lot of money. What mostly determines the amount of sale you will find is the make of the car itself. The plain and simple truth is this: some car manufacturers have better end-of-year deals than others, and it is your job — as the smart buyer — to find that make and model best for you and your pocket book. (Luckily, we have already done that work for you.)   Buick and GMC win for having some of the best deals in pricing this December. Not only are Buick and GMC doing a bang up job at re-introducing its line-up to the general public with innovative designs and superior performance, but they also know the importance of offering a great deal. For instance, this December you can finance varying models for as low as zero percent and get large cash-back rebates (be sure to check out other hidden dealer rebates too).   Here are some examples of what you can save this year at Liberty Buick GMC: NEW 2019 BUICK ENCLAVE FWD SALE PRICE: $41,757 MSRP: $48,180 new 2019 buick encore essence fwd SALE PRICE: $26,698 MSRP: $34,680 NEW 2019 BUICK ENVISION AWD 4DR PREMIUM II SALE PRICE: $37,778 MSRP: $48,030 NEW 2018 BUICK REGAL TOURX PREFERRED AWD SALE PRICE: $29,401 MSRP: $38,540 NEW 2019 BUICK CASCADA 2DR CONV PREMIUM SALE PRICE: $33,908 MSRP: $36,995 NEW 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4WD Denali SALE PRICE: $64,568 MSRP: $72,155 NEW 2018 GMC Canyon 4wd sle SALE PRICE: $32,000 MSRP: $38,575 NEW 2019 GMC Acadia awd denali SALE PRICE: $44,735 MSRP: $53,685 NEW 2019 GMC terrain fwd denali SALE PRICE: $35,060 MSRP: $43,410 NEW 2018 GMC yukon 4wd slt SALE PRICE: $56,655 MSRP: $68,685 In addition to our sales on new cars and trucks, you can also find great deals on our used car lot!

Most people finance, a smaller percentage lease, and even fewer pay cash; but this is not indicative of which is best, as each option has its own set of advantages. Deciding on your method of purchase is highly dependent upon details such as how long you wish to own the vehicle, your current credit score, and how much cash you have in the bank. Regardless of your financial situation, each option should be scrutinized before making such a significant purchase. Paying cash: A positive to this method is a lack of worry over charges or finance fees; also, when using cash, you hold the title (rather than the bank), making for less hassle if you choose to sell the vehicle later down the road. And, first and foremost, you do not have to make monthly payments! A negative aspect to paying cash is that most often people don’t have such a large sum stowed away, and if they do, it may need to be set aside for another weighty buy — a house, college, nest egg…the list is never ending. Leasing: This option usually allows for a new model annually, and the vehicle is typically always under warranty, eliminating worry over engine or other performance problems. The monthly payments for leasing are often less than financing. Additionally, there are highly beneficial tax cuts when the leased vehicle is used primarily for business purposes. When leasing, you do not have to worry about making a down payment — assuming your credit is good enough. Negative aspects to leasing include a requirement of more than simply having basic insurance: often dealerships will require a specific amount or type of insurance, resulting in a higher monthly fee. Also, although a leased vehicle is covered with warranty, it is not covered for scratches and dents, which will have to be paid out of pocket. Financing: The most commonly used method of purchase for Americans, this option allows you to use the bank’s money, freeing up your disposable income and the time it can take to save enough money to pay cash. Credit scores determine the type of financing available (the higher the score, the lower the interest rate), and there are usually nice warranty packages out there for financers. The down side to financing? Your monthly payments are usually a little higher than when leasing, and there is usually a hefty down payment required. How to Shop For a Great Deal There are a few things to watch out for when car shopping this holiday season. In particular, if you are in need of an SUV and have been waiting for sale season to shop, here are just a few key tips to help you along in your shopping: In order to get the very best prices on SUVs this season, there are a few crucial steps that need to be taken. The first thing we suggest is if you have a trade-in vehicle, get it appraised first. A quick stop-in at CarMax, or even a detailed online search, can provide you with the exact amount your trade-in is worth. You can even stop in to our service department to see if it might be beneficial to have a little work done on your trade-in first. Sometimes this can bring up the value of the car. What sort of things will your service technician look for? Anything that is not performing properly. He or she will also look for things that could go wrong in the near future. Intricate pieces like engine belts, hoses, and plugs. These all need replacing every so often, and if you wait until they completely malfunction you could be left stranded. And even worse, they could cause damage to other parts of the engine. Don’t wait until something breaks. Let a professional look over your vehicle so that you can keep it running for years to come. This then becomes one less thing you have to worry about when shopping. Now you know the price to expect for your trade-in and you can perform a more realistic SUV search with a specific price in mind. Have an idea of the type of SUV you would like before you begin shopping. As with anything else, it’s a good idea to have a plan before you visit Liberty Buick GMC. Of course we can help you if you are unsure of what you would like, but the more you know coming in, the faster we can get you in your new ride! Even having a rough idea of your price range, make and model, as well as, color options can be a huge help when walking around on the lot. One of the most common hang-ups when buying a car is the paperwork. Having this in order before you purchase will keep you from the headache of trying to navigate through your documents at the last minute. Make sure you have your driver’s license, proof of auto insurance, payment method, and any paperwork you may have on your trade-in. Also, don’t forget to double-check the expiration dates on your insurance card. You would be amazed at how many times this is the culprit for causing frustration and a delay in driving away with a nice, new SUV. Lastly, if the process of buying takes a bit, don’t get frustrated. For a purchase such as this to take place properly, it often takes a little time. The most important thing is to be sure everything is done correctly so there are no unpleasant surprises later. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or get clarity on anything even a little confusing. Read the fine print, and make sure you are aware of all your sale bonuses, cash-back offers, and warranties. We want your experience to as pleasant as possible. We always welcome questions, so don’t be nervous about the process of buying a new car, whether it’s an SUV, sedan, or pickup we have you covered. Come See Us Today! With the holiday season on our heals, it can be difficult to justify car shopping in the midst of all the other soon to be made purchases.

Dealerships are clearing out what they can and it’s for the benefit of the buyer.   When you buy local you save on service, especially when you shop at Liberty Buick GMC where they “will make sure you get the best price when you purchase and the best service throughout the year.” Don’t wait any longer!

Luxury vehicles have taken on a new persona, as buyers are opting out of sedans and coupes and choosing pickups and SUVs instead. Liberty Buick GMC has answered customer demand for high-end vehicles with an inventory that includes both automakers’ top trim levels and additional upgrades. Brand new 2019 models have been rolling in, but smart buyers will save on 2018 and 2017 luxury models now, as our year-end clearance sale gives you more for your money. “According to research firm J.D. Power and Associates, $50,000 is the slightly blurry line between mainstream and luxury in today's auto market,” reports CNBC. What will $50,000 get you at Liberty Buick GMC? The 2019 Buick Enclave Avenir is a mid-sized SUV that comes with an impressive standard package including three-row, leather seating with heated driver and front passenger seats; wood-toned accents throughout the cabin; power moonroof with rear fixed skylight; modern amenities like wireless charging, a Bose performance-enhanced premium 10-speaker system; rear park assist; remote start; and a hands-free liftgate; plus safety measures including front and rear parking assist, lane change and departure alerts, and seven airbag system. The Enclave gets an estimated 26 MPG highway, 18 MPG city. The 2019 Enclave Premium is available as an AWD with similar options. “The Avenir promises tech, safety and comfort features on par with what's offered in the best luxury crossovers,” writes Edmunds. U.S. News & World Report ranks the 2019 Buick Enclave second in midsized SUVs, third in SUVs with three rows, and fifth in crossover SUVs, making it a sound investment. “Its smooth performance and genteel interior are examples of the Enclave' high levels of refinement, and the current generation earns near-perfect predicted reliability scores,” they write. The Enclave also boasts one of Buick’s better kept secrets — a balance of class and driveability. “In this manner, it performs exceptionally well, aided by a V6 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission that are respectably powerful and polished in most situations, “ U.S. News & World Report writes. “The 310-horsepower setup provides sufficient acceleration off the line and on the highway.” With nearly $8,000 off 2018 Buick models including the Enclave, it’s a perfect time to buy in to the luxury category, if you haven’t before. You will find the 2018 Buick Enclave, LaCrosse, and TourX in limited quantities and priced from $31,497 to $47,662 available now. When it comes to trucks, GM is hard to beat. Brand new, top-of-the-line models are arriving at the Liberty Buick GMC lot including a 2019 GMC Sierra 3500HD Crew Cab Long Box 4-Wheel Drive Denali. This beautiful Ebony Twilight Metallic truck runs on a Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine and comes loaded with safety, comfort, and features. It has lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and front and rear parking assist, an EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, sunroof, all weather floor mats, built-in WiFi, keyless entry, remote start, and heated leather seats. “Even if you ignore unique-to-truck features like those off-road tires, spray-in bed liners and cargo tie-downs, a luxury shopper will find virtually all the features of a high-line sedan now offered on top-end pickups,” writes CNBC. With even more cabin space, the 2019 GMC Yukon XL is available with 4WD and the Denali trim package and priced about $3,500 less than MSPR at $77,088 or below. The Yukon XL is, as its name would imply, a larger version of the Yukon with 20 inches more length and a 14-inch wider wheelbase. These specs give the XL a whopping 39.3 cubic feet of cargo volume — more than twice that of the Yukon’s 15.3 cubic feet. “As capable as they are handsome, the Yukon and the stretched Yukon XL are multitasking machines,” writes Car & Driver. “If your idea of a good time includes hauling the family up a mountain while towing a travel trailer, there are few alternatives to the Yukon.” We have some great savings available on the 2018 Yukon 4WD Denali and Yukon XL 4WD Denali, as well as the 2018 Yukon 2WD XL Denali, which also are eligible for GMC Special Offers.

You should receive a response to your dispute within 30 days. Do you some of the things that hurt a credit score? Even one late payment: if you make a payment more than 30 days late, chances are it’s going to show up on your report; if you’re having trouble making payments, it’s better to try to work out a payment plan and keep an account from going to collections Not paying ALL of your bills on time: utilities, rent, phone bills — every kind of bill adds up Applying for more credit: a hard credit inquiry impacts your score whether or not you’re approved Canceling your zero-balance credit cards: cancelling cards reduces the amount of credit you have and can shorten your credit history Transferring balances to a single card: it may seem easier, but consolidation on to one card can negatively impact your debt ratio so that you owe too much of a card’s available credit Co-signing credit applications: you may be great about paying your own bills, but the person you’re co-signing for may not be; don’t let their negligence tank your credit Not having enough credit diversity: credit cards, loans, bills — it matters that you can keep multiple accounts paid up Holding high credit card balances: even though you may not own that much, if you owe a high percentage of your available credit, that’s a flag Unemployment leading to missed payments: going without a job for a while isn’t the problem; it’s not paying bills that hurts Ignoring your credit report: check it annually and do what you can to fix it Know what your trade in is worth Many people buy a car to replace an older car.

The 2018 Buick Enclave is at the top of the charts, ranking No. 1 in midsize SUVs, No. 2 in SUVs with three-row seating, No. 2 in crossover SUVs, according to U.S. News & World Report. That’s why we have more than 20 Enclaves on the lot at Liberty Buick GMC ready and waiting for you. “The Enclave is a great choice for buyers that want luxury-SUV quality at nonluxury prices,” states U.S. News & World Report. “The Enclave is more upscale than most of its rivals, but it's not too far above the pack in terms of price.” Enclave models on the lot right now range from the sale-priced Enclave Essence FWD at $44,523 to the Enclave Avenir AWD sale-priced at $54,453. Buick lists the Enclave’s starting price at $39,995. The base model Enclave features Buick’s 3.6L V6 engine, infotainment center, keyless entry and push button start. Stepping up to the Essence adds leather seats, lane change and rear traffic alerts. The Premium model boosts the luxury feel with ventilated driver and passenger seats, heated second row seats, and a Bose 10-speaker audio system. At the top of the line, the Avenir features unique styling, available forward automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, and wireless charging. With four models, choices between FWD and AWD, gracious standard features, and a several ways to make your Enclave just right for you — from embroidered floor mats to a heated steering wheel — there is every reason to test drive one today. Some drivers may know that the Enclave itself is not an addition to the market; however, it is a completely redesigned one. The first-generation Enclave was in production for 10 years. Now, the Enclave completely earns the description “new and improved.” “Buick’s latest three-row ute succeeds in being a marked improvement over its predecessor in every meaningful way,” states Car & Driver. When it comes to comparing the Enclave against other cars in its class, U.S. News & World Report points drivers toward the Enclave: The Acura MDX is a luxury midsize SUV that costs more than the Enclave but doesn't deliver as much for the money. The MDX has just two rows of seats, offers less cargo space than the Enclave, and lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. On the performance front, the MDX is very similar to the Enclave, with a peppy V6 engine, balanced handling, and great fuel economy. Where it doesn’t match up is predicted reliability – the MDX has a below-average score, while the Enclave’s is nearly perfect The Volkswagen Atlas is a new model for 2018, and it's similar to the Enclave in many ways. Both SUVs have roomy cabins, long features lists, smooth rides, and poised handling. The Atlas' standard four-cylinder engine is more fuel-efficient than the Enclave's V6 powertrain. Still, the Atlas has an optional V6 for more power. The VW has ample space for occupants in all three rows, and it nearly matches the Enclave's cargo capacity. The base Atlas costs about $9,000 less than the base Enclave, making it a great bargain – though higher trims are more in line with what you'd pay for the Enclave. What helps make the Buick Enclave the perfect family vehicle are factors including cargo space that beats most competitors, a hands-free lift gate that comes standard, an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, and award-winning safety features. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Buick Enclave a five-star safety rating. Designed with Family in Mind What helps make the Buick Enclave the perfect family vehicle are factors including an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, cargo space that beats most competitors, and a hands-free lift gate that comes standard. "The Buick's size and clever packaging afford it a substantial 24 cubic feet of cargo space with all of the seats up, and the standard power-folding third row and collapsible captain's chairs allow quick access to its full 98-cube capacity," Car & Driver states. "There's also a three-cubic-foot storage bin beneath the load floor and a standard power liftgate with a remote-opening sensor under the rear bumper-the latter includes a light that projects a small Buick shield logo on the ground so you know where to flail your foot when your arms are full of groceries." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Buick Enclave a five-star safety rating. Need to load up the whole family? "Both of the Enclave's second-row captain's chairs are ideal for child seats," Car & Driver states. "The LATCH anchor points are easy to access, and the flat nature of the lower cushion allows for immediately level installation of the seat base. The Enclave's spacious passenger area means there's plenty of room for a rear-facing child seat behind even a tall driver or front-seat passenger, which ensures everyone remains comfortable." That's not a problem. Why It's a Great Time to Buy Liberty Buick GMC is celebrating summer with sales on several Buick and GMC models.

Like the coffee or cola commercials in which consumers take a blind taste-test to select the best, Buick is betting that ditching its nameplate badge will help revive the brand. At Liberty Buick GMC, we're rather fond of the Buick name, so we were interested to learn that beginning with the 2019 Buick Envision, the classic "Buick" on liftgates and decklids - the only external places on which the name is featured - will be banished. Is this move akin to when Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol? Will the company's three-shield badge do what Buick has been struggling to do - finally make the brand cool? Can a logo change how we feel about a name? In order for a brand to be remembered, it must have what psychologist Carol Moog calls an "emotional, non-verbal association," in an article from Branding Strategy Insider. "What is evoked emotionally, visually, symbolically, by a particular name?" Moog asks. Part of the problem for Buick is that for the past 20 years or so the brand HAS had an association - that of being a car for those who have rambled over the hill and come to prefer seating space over speed. But the Buick name wasn't always that way. Autoweek shared a look back at the " 10 Favorite Buicks of the Last 107 Years." In 1909, Buick was tops at the race track. Bob Burman finished first in a 250-mile event with an average speed of 53 mph. Of the nine cars that finished the race, three were Buicks. In 1954, the Buick Wildcat II sported a "Nailhead" V8 and four sidedraft carburetors for extra horsepower. The Buick GSX of 1970 was no slouch with 455-hp V8 and 510 lb-ft of torque that took it from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Buick hit the Indianapolis and Indy tracks with the Century 500 Pace Car in '76 and an '84 March Indy Car that set a record for production-spec engine blocks. By 2012, the Buick Regal GS was hailed as one of the most collectible Buicks of all time with 207 hp from a turbocharged four-cylinder with a manual transmission. In 2016, the Avista arrived as a rear-wheel drive, 400-hp, twin-turbocharged V6, and this year, the all new Buick TourX brings all-wheel-drive and advanced suspension to a Buick built for the outdoors. With all this power and speed, it's a wonder that anyone ever considered Buick to be boring. What will happen to Buick without the brand name emblazoned on the backs of its cars? There's an interesting psychological effect that will come into play. Our brains can complete the picture for us. "Gestalt psychology is about how we perceive the world around us, and is largely about how our brain interprets shape and form," writes Graham Jones of Brand Quarterly. " suggests that we can often perceive things as a complete whole, even if the item is not finished." We do not need to read a brand name in addition to seeing a logo. The logo, like for Nike or McDonalds, becomes representative of the brand name. It's almost like an old See n' Say - when the arrow stops at the picture of the dog, we know to bark. When we see three shields will we still say Buick? Perhaps part of the point is that we ask, "Is that a Buick?"

It’s a work of art. The vehicle design exudes an air of refined elegance with its clean, sophisticated style. The Envision possesses bold, sculpted lines along with a waterfall grille to help give it a luxurious, classy look. But make no mistake: this is not your father’s Buick. It has a distinctive appearance that is sure to keep heads turning whenever and wherever you drive it. Although it embodies a timeless style, the 2018 Buick Envision also has modern amenities to maximize your experience. How many times have you been bogged down carrying packages to your vehicle, without a free hand to open the trunk? Buick’s engineers have considered these situations. As such, all Envision models come with a Hands-Free Power Liftgate. All you have to do is simply wave your foot under the rear bumper. This action will engage the Liftgate, which has an adjustable lift height, to make it easier for you to load packages into the rear cargo area of the vehicle.

Premium models come with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a peppy 252 horsepower output. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard with both engines.

This is a Buick, so its smooth handling makes driving a sheer joy. The suspension will have you easily navigating over rougher roads and the easy steering will allow you to park the vehicle effortlessly. The Envision has tons of features that make it an attractive SUV. One of its best attributes is its fuel economy. Imagine getting almost 30 mpg in an SUV. Well, you don’t have to imagine. You can expect up to 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway with just the Base model. Even with the turbocharged engine, your estimated mpg is 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Interior Features: User-friendly Hi-tech Meets Refined Luxury Inside the Envision, you’re surrounded with the look and feel of upscale refinement.

Also standard are heated front seats that are 8-way power-adjustable with lumbar support. Push-button engine start is also standard. The Base and Preferred models come with cloth or synthetic leather seating standard and all other models come with leather seats. Optional add-ons include heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel for those chilly winter months, as well as ventilated front seats when the weather is warm.

No need to be distracted by noise from the highway or the engine as you listen to music or have conversations with passengers. After all, would you expect anything less than a quiet ride from a Buick? Enjoy listening to satellite radio through 6 speakers standard or upgrade with an optional 7-speaker Bose premium audio system. The IntelliLink infotainment system, which comes standard on all models, has all the technology you need for a premium driving experience in the 21 st century. The package features an 8-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and Wi-Fi. The system also includes Smartphone integration compatible with either your iPhone via Apple CarPlay, or with Android through Android Auto.

Fold the sliding rear seats, and voila: You instantly have even more than double the space with 57.3 cubic feet, giving you plenty of additional storage for your groceries, packages, or luggage. Envision Safety Features: Because Safety Matters Safety is important and Buick’s engineers made sure to cover all the bases in providing a luxury SUV with this theme in mind. But don’t take our word for it. In both independent and federal government crash testing, the Envision has excelled. The 2018 Buick Envision received the highest possible score—a perfect five-star overall rating—from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Furthermore, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Envision a “Top Safety Pick." The 2018 Buick Envision comes standard with complimentary OnStar service for 6 months and 10 airbags located throughout the interior. All models also include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and Teen Driver Technology. Higher trim models offer additional safety features including the following: Automatic emergency braking Lane keep assist Lane departure warning Rear cross traffic alert Blind spot monitoring Front parking sensor Parallel and perpendicular park assist A 360-degree camera Safety alert seat (see below) Safety Alert Seat: Helps Locate the Threat Before You Do A standard feature on Envision Premium models is the Safety Alert Seat that causes the driver’s seat to vibrate if a hazard is detected. What’s more, the seat vibrates based on the direction of the possible danger. So if a hazard is detected on the right, the seat bottom vibrates to the right. If danger is on the left, the left side of the seat bottom vibrates. This lets drivers know which direction they should look to locate a possible hazard. Teen Driver Technology: A Watchful Eye over Young Drivers If you have a teenage driver, then to say you worry about them when they’re out driving is probably a huge understatement. Now you can have more peace of mind with Buick’s Teen Driver Technology. This system can monitor your young driver while you’re not in the vehicle. The system will disengage the Envision’s sound system until all the vehicle occupants have their seatbelts fastened. With this technology, you can also receive updates and alerts regarding your teen’s driving habits. You can even receive an alert that monitors the driver’s speed. Warranty: Backed by Buick When you’re spending your hard-earned dollars on a luxury vehicle, you want to be sure you have a strong warranty in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. Take comfort in knowing that your investment is protected by the strength of Buick’s warranty. The 2018 Buick Envision is covered by a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and a six-year/70,000-mile power train warranty.   The bottom line… The all-new 2018 Buick Envision is a premium SUV that features refined, luxury interior features, a comfortable ride, and ample room for five.
