Buying a car is a big deal, but buying your first car is a huge milestone and reason to be proud. Between dealing with high-pressure car salesmen tactics, trying to ensure you get a good price, haggling for trade-in values on your old car, and staying on top of the sale by avoiding any hidden fees, you’re probably the least worried about the most important part of your first car purchase: your credit score. Financing your new vehicle may not be the flashiest or most exciting part of your purchase, but it’s definitely an aspect you shouldn’t avoid. If you’re willing to spend hours negotiating with a salesman, then you should also set aside time to prepare for this major purchase. Buying a new car doesn’t have to make your credit rating take a huge hit, so we’ve outlined some ways you can prepare your credit for your shiny new toy. 1) Plan Your Car Shopping Ahead of Time: Did you know that every time you go to a car dealership, they pull your credit and it adds a notation on your credit report that you’ve filed for an inquiry? Did you also know that multiple inquiries temporarily hurt your credit score? The best way to avoid notations on your credit score is to simply plan ahead. Check out vehicles online, contact your dealer via phone or e-mail, and make the trip only when you’re ready to 2) Know the Market: In general, knowing what the car you want is going for in the market is going to help you negotiate for the best price. Researching online is usually the best route to see what dealers’ inventories have, and what you want to schedule to see. If you find that the vehicle you want is experiencing high demand, then you’ll have less leverage as a customer. 3) Know Your Credit Score: Before you go shopping, you should check out your credit score and know your credit score range. We recommend doing this a few months in advance so that if you need to increase your credit score, you can do so. Your credit score directly effects what kind of interest rates you can get on financing your vehicle, and also gives you the upper hand on deciding whether to finance through the bank, credit union, or your dealer. While there is no specific minimum score to buy a car, the higher your score is, the more options for financing you will have and the more you will save on an auto loan interest. 4) Consider Getting a Car Loan: Myth busted: Getting a car loan can actually help your FICO credit score. But, the price you end up paying for a car is going to determine whether you qualify for a loan to buy it; a price too high can disqualify you. Find a suitable payment plan, as not making payments will definitely hurt your credit rating. 5) Put More Money Down: The more money you pay for the initial down payment, the less money you will need to borrow—it’s as simple as that! Saving for a down payment will reinforce realistic budgeting practices. We recommend aiming to down pay for about 12% of the purchase price.   Everybody wants to get a good deal on their car purchase, and knowing your credit score is going to help you streamline the process. Buying a new vehicle should be an exciting, fun experience with the help of your dealership and credit unions. If your credit is not where it needs to be yet to get a good deal on financing, contact Credit Capital today.

Though the classic station wagon has never truly disappeared, this year it arrives with a new look and impressive features. The all-new 2018 Buick Regal now comes as a luxury station wagon, and it is every bit as good as it sounds. Erase that image of a clunky, massive hunk of metal sputtering down the road and stop over and see us at Liberty Buick GMC today to test drive the newly refined and modernized Buick Regal wagon. Some of us can still remember those long family road trips in the old station wagon. There was that third-row seating that faced backwards, which seemed to expedite car sickness as the lucky back-seat passenger watched the road and telephone poles move in the opposite direction. The wagons of old were huge metal boxes, built like tanks, that seemed to last forever. They may have been ugly clunkers, but they were roomy and comfortable and low enough to the ground that it was easy to get in and out. The innovators at Buick remember what it was like riding in the family wagon. This is why they decided to recreate it in a way that capitalizes on the good aspects and eliminates those less desirable ones. No more bulky mess with drab interior. This year, Buick is proud to introduce the 2018 Regal wagon, and at Liberty Buick GMC we have plenty in all sorts of colors and trims for you to choose from. 2018 Buick Regal Specs Starting at only $29,070 the all-new Regal wagon has plenty to offer. For one, it saves you money by cutting back on trips to the gas station. 21 miles-per-gallon in the city and 29 highway keep cash in your pocket and allow for longer ride times. Add in the fact the 2018 Regal wagon comfortably seats five passengers, and has over 73 cubic feet of storage space, and it’s already pretty appealing. That’s not all though, not even close. Buick went all out for the 2018 Regal wagon. Here are a few more highlights: It comes in eight premium exterior colors- Summit White Sport Red Ebony Twilight Metallic Quicksilver Metallic Smoked Pearl Metallic Dark Moon Blue Metallic Rioja Red Metallic White Frost Tricoat It is offered in three different trim levels- TOURX: priced at $29,070 and comes with a 2.0-liter Turbo Engine along with Start/Stop Technology. It has an active twin clutch and intelligent all-wheel-drive. Sits on 18-inch aluminum wheels, and comes with Buick’s QuietTuning Technology to keep your drive extra quiet. PREFERED: this trim level begins at $32,670 and offers the same features as the TOURX, plus a few extras. There’s an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar. ESSENCE: this is the Regal wagon’s top level and it begins at $35,070. It comes with all the features of the PREFERED, but adds a few extras, like leather-appointed seating and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. It also has a 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat to give you some extra stowage space. Interior Inside the 2018 Buick Regal there are soft-touch surfaces and premium materials throughout, making this wagon the most modern and luxurious in its class. Let’s have a closer look: The rear seats can fold 60/40 or 40/20/40, which enables passengers to arrange storage space in a variety of ways. Up front and directly behind there is more than enough room to stretch and relax and just enjoy the ultra-smooth ride. The QuietTuning technology incorporates acoustic laminated front, side, and windshield glass, triple door sealing, and innovative suspension tuning to block out exterior noise. There is dual-zone climate control that automatically keeps two separate temperatures, one on the driver’s side and the other for the passenger. These temps can be preset or changed at any time. To top it off, the 2018 Buick Regal wagon has excellent sound with Bose Premium Audio, which has been modernized for seamless connectivity and performance. Exterior The 2018 Buick Regal has a unique look. It resembles something of a low-sitting luxury sports car rather than what comes to mind when the word “wagon” is thrown around. Its rugged styling and sleek line-work, combined with multiple exterior features, scream adventure. Here are a few highlights: The sturdy, yet lightweight, aluminum roof rails and cross bars make it simple to attach and carry anything from bicycles, to kayaks, to luggage. This wonderful feature opens up even more space inside, allowing for more passengers or even more room for gear. The hands-free power liftgate comes with an LED sensor that reflects on the ground so you can see exactly where to hover your foot. Then, watch the back hatch open and close on its own. This makes grocery shopping and kid carrying so much easier and fun. Signature LED headlights come with auto-leveling technology, an advanced system to keep the path in front of you always perfectly lit. There are also fog lights and the new Arrival Sequence, which lights up the car as you approach (this is a great safety feature for those nights when you have to walk to your car alone. Just hit a button and the lights turn on). The combination of a push-button start and keyless entry keeps you, well…keyless. No bundle of keys to keep up with, to lose or forget. Now, it’s just buttons to be pushed and you are on your way. It does not get more modern than this. If you are still not convinced Buick’s modern station wagon is the perfect car for you, here are five quick reasons to come test drive a 2018 Buick Regal today: When cruising around in the 2018 Buick Regal it can be difficult to tell if you’re driving a sports car, crossover, or luxury sedan.

All this equates to easy loading and unloading, plus compact parking and swift maneuverability. Fuel Economy. The all-new Regal offers sporty driving, the room of a minivan or SUV, and yet somehow still saves you money at the pump. Leave it to Buick to crack the code and create a car that has it all. The wide wheelbase and broad posture make taking tight corners a breeze in the 2018 Regal. Throw in all-wheel-drive and you might as well get some friends together and go mudding out on your favorite trail. One of the most impressive aspects to the 2018 Buick Regal is its look. Arguably, Buick has never made such a modern looking vehicle. The sharp front-end, the impressive line work, even the colorful, yet tasteful Buick emblem in the grille, it all looks authentically luxurious. It has arrived. The modern station wagon, full of grit and surprises, is ready to hit the road. Don’t waste time deciding between something too big and expensive or another classless car when you can save money on something luxurious and unique. Come see us at Liberty Buick GMC Trucks today and test drive America’s new station wagon.   -Andrae Bergeron

When describing a good or bad Uber ride, it always begins with the car you were picked up in. Sure the driver may have taken a few extra minutes on the pick up, or taken a wrong turn on the way home, but if the car itself is nice we can forgive these faux pas. At Liberty Buick GMC we know Uber riders want high levels of comfort, luxury, and sound. It just so happens we have two brand-new vehicles that perfectly fit the bill. What We Like in an Uber Tastes vary, but on the most basic level, things like comfort, luxury, and sound are not difficult to create. That being said, when it comes to Uber rides, higher levels of these three makes for a better experience. Leather or upholstery, it really doesn’t matter. Just as long as the seat itself has plenty of cushion and give and holds you in a nice position, that’s what really counts. Legroom is something else to consider. It doesn’t matter how comfy that seat is if your legs are scrunched up into your chest. Another thing is the ride itself. It needs to be smooth and soft the entire trip. Sharp turns should feel like fluffy side-hugs. Potholes, nothing but little divots to hardly be noticed. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Those luxurious items only found in cars with a price tag similar to that of a home mortgage aren’t required. It’s quality we want as Uber riders, and that simply means entering a car with sturdiness and charm. Solid doors, svelte seating, and dark tones with LED running lights do well to make any passenger feel as though she is taking a proper Uber ride. Quality sound comes from modern mechanics pumping through nice speakers. There also needs to be plentiful options: radio, CD, and phone connectivity are most common, but just as long as the sound is crisp and clear it usually does not matter what the source is. We know what we like in an Uber car, and now it’s time to look at which makes and models we, at Liberty Buick GMC, recommend. 2018 Buick Regal Sportback The all-new 2018 Buick Regal Sportback is a great choice for an Uber driver for more reasons than we can even list. Let’s begin with the high comfort levels in the 2018 Regal Sportback. From the moment you sit inside you can tell something is different. There’s just so much room! The hatchback offers extra storage spaces, and the length of the car itself offers more than enough legroom from every seat. This makes those trips to the airport with extra baggage no problem. Just set the bigger bags on the floorboards and easily slide the rest in the back. As for the seats themselves, they are much more comfortable than those in your average sedan. At first sit, they are obviously a cut above. The thick material and quality cushion instantly put any passenger at ease. They seem to hold you comfortably in place, all the while allowing the necessary levels of give for optimum comfort. Next is luxury, and the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback has it in spades. The new Sportback is offered in four trim levels: 1SV, Preferred I, Preferred II, and Essence. All come with varying bells and whistles such as power accessories, keyless ignition, OnStar 4G LTE connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. There is the option between a 7.0 and 8.0 center touchscreen and allow wheels ranging in size from 17 to 18-inches. To make the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback even more luxurious, Buick has added a Driver Confidence package. This bundle of goodies includes memory for the front seats and mirrors, four-way power lumbar adjustment in the front, heated and auto-dimming driver mirror, LED headlights that level themselves automatically, and a host of luxurious safety features such as: Adaptive cruise control Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking Active lane control with lane-departure warning The 2018 Buick Regal Sportback has you covered on quality sound too. With the option for eight premium Bose speakers, sounds are just so much better. Add this to Buick’s famous Infotainment center, and you have yourself a nice little setup. This center console allows you access to all your favorite music, turn-by-turn directions, and emergency assistance, a USB port, and plenty more. With an abundance of features and one of the smoothest rides you will ever experience, the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback is the modern Uber car. 2018 GMC Acadia With a price at around $29,000 you can’t go wrong with the new 2018 GMC Acadia as an Uber. Though most Uber cars tend to be sedans, this mid-size crossover performs like a high-dollar SUV but has the perks of driving a sedan. As a matter of fact, almost every feature specified in the 2018 Buick Regal can be found in the 2018 GMC Acadia as well. By way of comfort, the 2018 GMC Acadia seems to defy logic. The fact that the mid-size Acadia fits seven passengers is strange, but when you realize all seven can sit comfortably inside it blows your mind. By way of expert design and craftsmanship, GMC has maximized just about every possible angle of space to ensure roominess. Up front, both seats are multi-adjustable. The second row sits back far enough to allow easy access in and out, and it provides extra legroom for passengers. The third row is the smallest, but still allows for comfort and room, especially for children. For Uber purposes, this third row is perfect for throwing luggage, especially when in a hurry. To make the 2018 GMC Acadia even more charming, there are soft-touch materials throughout, and not that cheap, rubbery-feel either. The inside of the new Acadia feels like plush quality that makes you want to ride along for hours. In the all-new GMC Acadia, luxury and comfort work together. As you experience the high levels of comfort in the Acadia, you begin to notice just how luxurious what you are riding in is. Take, for instance, the fact that there are a total of six different trim levels. Each of these offers varying aspects of comfort, but all performs at a level of luxury that is just not found in SUVs at this price. There’s the rear-seat detection feature, which is designed to keep you aware of a rear passenger or that you have recently opened a rear door. Then there is the 7.0-inch Infotainment system that has enough connectivity and output features to make any passenger happy. This system gives you up-to-date weather and traffic alerts, plays your favorite music and podcasts, even makes calls and reminds you of upcoming meetings. It’s like having a secretary right there in the dash. There is also the classy look of the 2018 Acadia. Its rolling sides and ready stance give a capable yet sophisticated feel, exactly what an Uber ride should be. The sound quality in the 2018 GMC Acadia matches that of the Buick Regal. The only difference is there is more room for the sound to expand in the Acadia. The Infotainment system previously mentioned also comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, appealing to just about everyone.   If you are thinking of becoming an Uber driver, or if you feel the need to be a bit more particular in the type of Uber you ride in, consider both the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback and the 2018 GMC Acadia. Both pack a punch in all three departments of comfort, luxury, and sound. Come in to Liberty Buick GMC today and find the best deal on one of the best cars for Ubering.

The weather is starting to get a little cooler and colder days are coming, Liberty Buick GMC wants to be sure you are prepared for frigid mornings and snow days. Getting ready for winter means getting your vehicle should be geared up for the cold. Everything from new tires to snow packages and heated seats. Whether you are looking for a brand new vehicle to help you make it through the cold or just looking to prep your current ride, Liberty Buick GMC is here to help. Here is your winter servicing checklist: Tire Prep Before winter rolls in, it is a good idea to get your tires checked. If anything needs to be fixed, repaired, or replaced this is the time of year to get everything checked out and ready for the winter weather. Liberty Buick GMC has the best Certified Service Technicians to handle all of your tire needs. You can also browse through the Tire Finder Tool online to start your tire search. Maintaining your tires to keep them in quality shape can be challenging with wheel alignment and balance, tire pressure, tire rotation, and wear and tear. Tires require a lot of work and care to keep them it top condition. Wheel Alignment and Balance To help prolong your tire’s lifespan it is essential to keep your wheels aligned. When wheels become unaligned it can cause uneven wear to your tire and even cause bearing, shock, and suspension problems. If your vehicle is pulling to one side or your tires are showing uneven wear, then it is a good idea to have your tires realigned. Tire Pressure Tire pressure is constantly changing as the weather changes. For every temperature change of 10 degrees Fahrenheit, tire pressure changes about 1 psi. In the summer the pressure is higher and in the winter pressure is lower. To ensure your tires are at the correct PSI, it is a good idea to check the pressure at least once a month. Tire Rotation To extend the life of your tires and improve performance it is always important to rotate your tires. Tire rotations are done to help make wear and tear even on all tires. Each tire works differently causing them to wear at a different pace. To help prevent uneven wear and increase the lifespan of your tires, tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles. Vehicle Inspection Car inspections are always a good idea to be sure you abide by the law, ensure your safety, and compile with registration regulations in North Carolina. For your safety, it is important that all the bolts and screws on your vehicle are secure. Liberty Buick GMC is a Certified Inspection Station and a great place to take your vehicle for Vehicle Safety Inspections and Emissions Inspections. We take the extra step when it comes to vehicle inspections to ensure your safety. A vehicle inspection at Liberty Buick GMC checks: Tires Foot and Parking Brakes Directional Lights Engine Lights Steering Suspension Components Wiper Blades Oil Change Before winter rolls in, it is important to check your oil. The first step is checking your oil to make sure the correct amount is in your vehicle for proper use. An oil leak or low oil can cause your vehicle to run differently and often causes issues in your car. It is also important to have your oil changed every so often, depending on your vehicle and the type of oil your vehicle requires. Most cars require an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles to adapt to the normal service schedule but some older vehicles may need oil changes as often as every 3,000 miles. On the other hand, newer vehicles may allow you to go for 15,000 miles before needing an oil change. Liberty Buick GMC has Certified Technicians that preform oil changes. Buick’s newer vehicles have a special Oil Life System that senses your car’s speed, engine temperature, and monitors operating conditions to help determine the best time for an oil change. Check the Antifreeze Antifreeze is one of the top vehicle concerns during the winter months. To prepare for winter it is a good idea to check the antifreeze level in your vehicle. To properly keep your vehicle from freezing, your engine cooling system should be filled with 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. To keep your vehicle operating properly and most effectively it is recommended that you follow the manufacturer’s guide for changing the antifreeze. Liberty Buick GMC has the best technicians around that are pros at changing and checking the pressure of your cooling system. Properly Functioning Windshield Wipers Windshield wipers are super important for your safety. Rain, hail, snow, any type of precipitation makes the visibility outside change. When you are driving down the highway it can be difficult to see clearly, so you want to have the best possible view of the road. Properly functioning windshield wipers can make driving in messy weather a little more manageable. Your windshield wiper blades need to be changed if they are: Streaking- the surface will be unclear and the wipers will leave long streaks behind. This often occurs when the blades are dry or dirty Skipping- you will hear a loud, dry skipping sound that indicates that the rubber of the blade is wrapped Worn down-the edge of the rubber will start to round and even peel Split- when the wiper blades are exposed to, too much sun the rubber of the blade will split or crack Bent- damage can cause your wiper blades to become bent. Thing like car washes and scraping ice off of your vehicle can cause damage Brake Check Finally, the brakes. Yep, that one is a no brainer. Brakes are an important part of your safety no matter the season. Winter time means slippery and ice roads so it is important that your brakes are prepared. So how do your breaks actually work? When your foot hits the brake, fluid signals the brakes of all four wheels to stop The force of your foot is multiplied The brake system exerts up to 1,000 pounds of hydraulic pressure to each brake When it comes to your brakes there are two parts the brake rotors and brake pads. When you schedule an appointment with one of our highly trained certified technicians they will inspect both parts of the brakes to ensure your safety. Inspection of the brake hoses for brittleness or cracking Inspection of brake lining and pads for wear or contamination by brake fluid or grease Inspection of wheel bearings and grease seals Adjust parking brake as needed Check brake fluid level at every oil change. Replace fluid according to the Owner’s Manual recommendations Calipers and wheel cylinders should be checked every brake inspection and serviced or replaced as required Inspect the brake lines for rust or punctures As you prepare for winter, don’t forget to schedule an appointment at Liberty Buick GMC to make sure your vehicle is ready to keep you safe during the cold season and through any messy weather.
