Check your own credit score

Often you can check your credit score for free through your bank or credit card institution. You also can request a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — once a year at annualcreditreport.com or by calling 877.322.8228. Once you have an idea of your score, consider what you can do to improve it! Is everything on your report accurate? If not, file a dispute. 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

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.

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. “[It] 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?”

With all the many different types of SUVs available today, it is easy to get confused by the wide array of options. However, it’s important to note that all SUVs are not built equally. So even though you have an overwhelming number of choices when it comes to choosing an SUV, you simply cannot go wrong with the all-new, 2018 Buick Envision.

Whether you are in the market for your first SUV or your next one, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re looking for a luxury-compact SUV that’s flexible enough for everyday use, yet still classy enough for a night on the town, the 2018 Buick Envision is ideal. With its roomy interior, upscale look and feel, and terrific fuel economy, the 2018 Buick Envision is a vehicle worthy of your attention. With one of the lowest sticker prices in the premium-compact SUV class, you get an excellent value for your money. Plus, the Envision has some of the highest safety ratings for an SUV. Read on to learn how the all-new, 2018 Buick Envision may be exactly what you’re looking for in a compact SUV.

Exterior: Classy, yet Modern

First, the 2018 Buick Envision is not just an SUV. 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. Or if you have a free hand, you can also activate the Liftgate with a push of a button on the key fob.

Envision Engine and Performance

The 2018 Buick Envision comes in 5 different trim levels: Base, Preferred, Essence, Premium I, and Premium II. Models come with either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, or a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The 2.5 liter, which is standard on the lower trim levels, puts out a healthy 197 horsepower. 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. Front-wheel drive is also standard, and all-wheel drive is optional with the Preferred and Essence models.

The Envision has nimble, light steering and a smooth suspension that make it a joy to drive. 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.

No fussing between the driver and the passenger about the thermostat. Dual-zone climate control for the comfort of the driver and passengers comes standard. 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.

The 2018 Buick Envision provides plenty of room for driving with friends and family. This SUV seats up to 5 adults, offering spacious legroom and headroom for both the driver and front seat passenger with ample space for up to three additional adults in the back seat.

If you’re looking for tech options, then look no further. The 2018 Buick Envision comes with many features that will help make even the most routine drive a truly memorable experience. The interior is outfitted with a state-of-the art noise cancellation system for quieter travel, which means you can travel in luxury without loud, ambient sounds from outside the cabin disturbing your drive. 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. Incredibly easy-to-use, IntelliLink integration allows some of your mobile phone apps to be accessed seamlessly through the vehicle’s touch screen display. The 2018 Buick Envision enables you to call hands-free while driving or to stream music with ease.

The 2018 Buick Envision also boasts a roomy 26.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. 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. With great safety test scores and Teen Driver Technology, you can rest a bit easier should the kids need to drive without you riding alongside in the passenger seat. In short, the Envision is a great option if you are looking for a luxury compact SUV for you or your family. But don’t just read about it here. To get a first-hand experience of the 2018 Buick Envision for yourself, visit Liberty Buick GMC today for a test drive. Our team will be more than happy to assist you and to answer any questions you may have.

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.
