Tips For Choosing The Right Vehicle at Auburn GM
How to choose the right vehicle
Buying a vehicle is a major investment. You want to make sure you choose something that will satisfy your needs, your budget, and your financial investment for years to come. Follow these steps to help you narrow down your vehicle options.
Consider your budget
How much money can you afford to spend on a new vehicle? Before you come to our dealership and start test driving vehicles, you should know what your spending budget is. Consider your monthly income and deduct all your other expenses. Don't forget to budget for fuel, maintenance, insurance, and other car ownership costs. With your budget determined, you should narrow down your options to new or used models that fit within your monthly allowance.
Think about your needs
What do you plan to use your vehicle for on a daily basis? Do you have a large family? Will you use your vehicle for work? Will you drive it off road? Answer questions like these to determine the best vehicle type to fit your lifestyle. For example, if you have a large family, a three-row SUV like the Chevrolet Traverse or Buick Enclave would be a good match. Or, if you need something with strong towing power, consider the Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra trucks.
Desirable features
Once you have defined your budget and the type of vehicle you need, you can start exploring the available options. If you budget allows, are there premium features you would love to have that would elevate your ownership experience? For example, would you feel more secure with a full suite of advanced driver safety aids? Do you want the latest technology features like wireless charging and a head-up display? If you want these but have a limited budget, consider a pre-owned car with a higher trim level.
Differences in GM brands
You know you want a General Motors vehicle, but what brand is the best fit for you? At Auburn GM, we carry new models from three brands: Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Here are some unique features that help each brand stand out from the others.
Chevrolet
Chevrolet has been a mainstay in the automotive industry for over a century. The company offers an extensive lineup of SUVs, trucks, cars, electric vehicles, and performance vehicles. Chevrolet tends to be the most affordable brand within the GM family. However, many of its models offer upscale options and materials to give you a luxurious driving experience. Whether you want a subcompact car like the Chevrolet Spark, a thrilling performance car like the Corvette Stingray, or a heavy-duty pickup like the Silverado HD, there is a Chevrolet vehicle to meet your needs.
Buick
Buick has been part of the General Motors lineup since 1908. It is currently positioned as an approachable premium brand with upscale features and amenities across its lineup. The current Buick lineup includes three SUVs: Encore, Envision, and Enclave. Buick is also known for its luxurious Avenir trim level, available on the Envision and Enclave models. You can also find luxurious used Buick sedans like the Regal.
GMC
General Motors has positioned the GMC brand as a more sophisticated, premium version of Chevrolet. The GMC lineup currently includes only trucks and true SUVs like the Yukon, Canyon, and the Hummer EV. It is also a trusted brand for commercial vehicles and fleets. For those looking for upscale amenities, GMC offers its Denali trim available on many of its models.
Whichever model you're interested in owning, Auburn Chevrolet Buick GMC can help you find and finance it so you're back on the road in your new ride.
