The used car lot at Brown and Wood Buick GMC contains several certified pre-owned GM vehicles for your perusal. Even though owning used cars comes with certain practical considerations, they can still be just as reliable as their new counterparts. If you’re wondering whether used cars with higher mileage are reliable enough, let’s look at the facts.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A USED CAR HAS HIGHER MILEAGE?

Obviously, a car with higher mileage has been driven for quite a while. However, not all mileage takes the same toll on a vehicle. Engines thrive on highway driving, so a car with significant highway mileage may be in better shape than a car with lower miles that’s spent much of its service life in stop-and-go traffic.

However, mileage is not the only consideration when you’re buying a used car. The car’s age matters, too; a newer car with higher mileage is often a safer bet than an older model with the same odometer reading. Similarly, get to know the car’s previous history, especially regarding prior owners, previous accidents, and its maintenance history.

SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A USED CAR WITH HIGH MILEAGE?

In general, mileage should only be one of several aspects to understand when shopping for used cars. If the vehicle you’re looking at isn’t too old, doesn’t require many (if any) repairs, and has a solid history, it could be a reliable machine even if it has high mileage. At Brown and Wood Buick GMC, we can help you identify the best used cars for you.

If you’re considering whether you should look at or buy new Buick SUVs, the experts at Brown and Wood Buick GMC can help you. Let’s start with five great reasons to purchase a new Buick SUV.

#1: NEW CAR, FRESH START

You don’t have to worry about previous owners or existing issues with a new Buick SUV. You’re starting fresh with a new car, with no accidents or prior usage to speak of.

#2: FINANCING OPTIONS

You’ll usually have better financing options available when purchasing a new car. The finance center at Brown and Wood Buick GMC can help you determine the best deal for a new Buick SUV before you sign.

#3: POWER IN THE 2023 BUICK SUV LINEUP

Every 2023 Buick SUV includes the Buick Infotainment System with available Alexa Built-in™ for voice recognition.

Buying a full-sized pickup truck doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. The GMC Sierra 1500, available at Brown and Wood Buick GMC, combines tough truck capability with luxury amenities. With several GMC Sierra 1500 trim levels offering various degrees of luxury features, let’s explore the trims that offer the best luxury experience.

LUXURY FOR ALL

Let’s start by looking at some excellent features that are yours across most GMC Sierra trims. Once you step up from the base Pro trim, you’re treated to a 13.4-inch infotainment display. The infotainment system comes standard with wireless smartphone mirroring via Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, voice control, and Google Built-In™.

GMC SIERRA 1500 AT4X

The “X” in the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X might as well stand for “extra,” since it adds luxury features to the AT4 trim’s formidable off-road capabilities. Among its perks are front seats with heat, ventilation, and a massage feature, just the thing to relax a tired body after a long day hiking the trails.

GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI

Those who know the GMC lineup know that the Denali trim represents comfort and high-end features. Among this trim’s many perks are genuine open-pore wood, and brushed aluminum interior accents. The luxury feel is enhanced even further by ride-enhancing features like Adaptive Ride Control™.

GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI ULTIMATE

If you thought Denali was the peak, guess again; the Denali Ultimate trim raises the bar further still. Among the features it adds to the already-comfy Denali trim are unique “Vader Chrome” blacked-out chrome accents, fine Alpine Umber leather, and the innovative Super Cruise™ hands-free driving feature.

While SUVs may be known for power, delivering speed, capability, and engaging handling takes more than that. If you’re looking for sporty SUVs for sale, we suggest browsing the lineup at Brown and Wood Buick GMC, where you’ll find features that will impress even the pickiest driver. Below, we discuss a few key GMC SUV performance features.

POWER TO SPARE IN GMC ENGINES

Look no further than the GMC line if you’re a gearhead who craves power in their SUV engine. Its V6 engines offer a range of displacements and outputs, delivering up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The active torque control all-wheel drive, standard on the GMC Acadia AT4, helps keep your car steady on any terrain, even at high speeds.

STURDY, HEAVY-DUTY SUSPENSION

It’s not easy to balance the weight and bulk of an SUV with a sporty suspension system. However, GMC accomplishes this with its heavy-duty SUV suspension systems. The GMC Yukon line, for example, features a four-corner air ride adaptive suspension system for a dynamic and comfortable ride. Besides adding another two inches to the SUV’s ground clearance, this suspension also adjusts itself according to driving conditions for optimal handling.

TRACTION SELECTION SYSTEMS

If you’re outdoorsy, you may feel that “sporty” is synonymous with adaptability, delivering an SUV that can thrive in many scenarios and terrain. The GMC Terrain, for example, features available all-wheel drive (AWD) that can be coupled with a traction selection system. This allows you to instantly switch between front-wheel drive (FWD), AWD, or off-road traction.

No matter the make, model, or age, value matters when you’re car shopping. That’s one reason that so many car buyers visit Brown and Wood Buick GMC; from trade-in values for sellers to a diverse selection for buyers, we have you covered. A few fundamental rules apply for buyers and sellers alike when you’re maximizing the value of used cars in Greenville, NC.

KEEP UP WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE

You may find yourself slipping on keeping up your car maintenance as your vehicle gets older. But if you want the most value from your used car, you’ll want to keep up with the maintenance schedule as described in your owner’s manual. A well-maintained vehicle holds its worth for buyers, and helps when you’re getting a car trade-in value too.

GIVE YOUR CAR A THOROUGH CLEANING

Obviously, a used car that looks as brand-new as possible is more likely to sell. Before bringing your car in, you’ll want to clean up your car as thoroughly as possible. Things you’ll want to do include:

• Vacuuming the inside of your car
• Removing stains from upholstery
• Removing odors from the interior
• Washing the exterior

Bonus: cleaner cars actually get better fuel economy, too.

BUY AND SELL AT THE RIGHT TIME

The spring and summer months are better for car shopping and trading in. Why? More of us are out and about, visiting dealerships. Buyers love the selection, and dealerships will often give you a better trade-in value as they replenish inventory.

Whether you’re buying or selling a used car — or doing both in the same trip — you should visit Brown and Wood Buick GMC today. With a great selection, a knowledgeable staff, and generous trade-in values, you’ll be glad you made us your first stop!

One of the best ways to keep your new Buick car running right is with proper care and service. And that all starts with the Buick Owner’s Manual. Here at Brown and Wood Buick GMC, we’ll help you decipher the owner’s manual and make the most out of the information and resources it offers.

WHAT IS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL?

We likely all have our owner’s manual tucked into the glovebox or console but don’t often look at it. The truth is, owner’s manuals contain helpful information that can help us to understand our vehicle better and to know how to recognize signs that service is required.

To start, your manual will help you to find functions and systems. If you don’t know how to open the trunk, hook up your smartphone, or adjust the climate control, the manual can help with comprehensive diagrams and information.

Details about your car’s systems, service needs, and potential problems can all be found in your Buick owner’s manual.

WHY SHOULD I READ MY MANUAL?

There are many reasons to look through the manual when you have the chance. To start, you may learn about functions and capabilities you may not realize your vehicle has. This can help to improve your driving experience.

More importantly, the manual will inform you when to schedule Buick service. It will also help with any issues the car may be experiencing since it will help you decode the warning lights on the dashboard. Lastly, if your vehicle exhibits unusual behavior, the manual is the first place you’ll want to look for a diagnosis.

If your vehicle needs routine maintenance or occasional repairs, Brown and Wood Buick GMC can help. Schedule service with our expert team today, following the manual’s suggested service intervals.
