However, it can be tough to buy a new car in cash especially if you’re going to school or looking for work. Leasing a vehicle allows you to get the latest model of the vehicle you’ve had your eyes on without saving up thousands of dollars to purchase it upfront.

Did you know there are times where leasing a vehicle might even be the better option over buying it in cash? true! Here are a few of the benefits that come with leasing your next ride.

• Less restraints on your wallet. When you lease, the payments are typically lower, which can lead to having more money that you can put toward bills and necessities. You might also be able to purchase a newer or more expensive model when you lease because payments are lower.

• Maintaining the vehicle is easy. During your lease, we keep up with all the maintenance, so you do not have to worry about anything. You get to drive without creating a maintenance schedule because we take care of that for you. All you have to do is bring it into our service center and we handle the rest!

Its happened to everyone at some point or another youre driving down the highway when suddenly a light flips on on your dashboard. Should you be panicked? The answer might depend on which light is on. Lets take a look at some dashboard warnings you might see on your vehicle and what they mean.

• Battery alert. Your battery light looks like a red box with a plus and minus sign inside of it. Your battery alert might come on if your car’s battery is dying or if there’s an issue with your battery cable. In most cases, you should have your car taken in for service right away.
• Check engine light. Your check engine light looks like a small square with knobs and turns coming out of it. The check engine light might come on for a wide variety of reasons, including everything from overheating to a gas cap that’s not fully secure in place. If your check engine light is flashing, it usually means that there is a major problem in your engine — and that you might need to start considering new Buick vehicles in Bensalem. 
• Low fuel light. Your low fuel light resembles a gas pump. When you see your low fuel light come on, you should start searching for a place to stop for gas as soon as possible.
• Tire pressure light. This light looks like an oval with an exclamation mark inside, and lets you know that there is something off about the air inside your tires. Sometimes it’s as simple as stopping at a gas station to add air, but you may also want to make sure your tire is not punctured or damaged.
• ABS light. If you see the letters “ABS” in a circle come up on your dash, you should think about getting service on your vehicle right away. This light denotes an issue with your anti-lock braking system, and failure to address it could be catastrophic.
• Seatbelt reminder. Do you buckle up every time you drive? Your seatbelt reminder (indicates by a light resembling a person sitting in a car with a buckled seatbelt) is simply a reminder to buckle up before you hit the road. Newer vehicles may also include seatbelt monitors and alerts for passengers as well as the driver.

Everyone enjoys the feeling of riding out of a vehicle dealership with a shiny new car. However, there are also a number of benefits that come with buying used as well. Be sure to consider these advantages when you start weighing the benefit of shopping new versus used at your source for Buick auto sales in Bucks County.

• More affordable. Used cars are, on average, more affordable than new ones. If you’re shopping on a tight budget, it’s usually better to buy used.
• Less depreciation. Car buyers often complain about vehicle depreciation, which is a drop in the value of a vehicle as it ages. When you buy a used car, the bulk of the vehicle’s depreciation has already occurred. When you buy a new car, you’ll deal with a much larger percentage of depreciation as soon as you drive off the lot.
• Better for the environment. Buying a used car is also a better choice if you’re trying to be as eco-friendly as possible. When you buy used, you offset the carbon dioxide that would have been released manufacturing a new vehicle.
• Lower insurance premiums. One of the biggest factors that insurance companies use to determine how much you’ll pay for your car insurance is the price of the vehicle. New cars have higher values than older cars, which means that you’ll pay more to insure a new car.
• Lower customization costs. Looking to customize your car? Installing add-ons manually instead of buying them through the dealership can save you money. 

In addition to new Buick vehicles in Bensalem, Faulkner Buick GMC also offers a wide range of affordable used vehicles.

From renting your first apartment to buying a new Buick in Bensalem, having a high credit score can make achieving your financial and life goals easier. But if youre still struggling to build credit, how can you make your score go up faster? These three easy tips will help you build up your credit score more effectively over time.

Don’t close old credit cards. If you’ve fallen into credit card debt in the past, it’s natural to assume that closing old credit cards will increase your score. However, when you close a credit line, you reduce the total amount of credit you have access to, which actually hurts your score. Instead of closing cards, shred the physical card or leave it with a trusted family member to prevent overspending. 

Apply for a secured credit card. Some types of credit cards require a down payment when you open it. That down payment then becomes your line of credit, meaning that a secured card carries no risk for lenders. As you use your secured credit card, credit card companies will report your on-time payments and balances to credit reporting bureaus, which increases your score. If you have bad credit or no credit, a secured credit card can be a great place to begin. 

Do you need credit to purchase your new Buick car in Bucks County? Faulkner Buick GMC of Trevose makes it easy to apply for credit directly online. Pay us a visit online or give us a call at 267-984-4658 to learn more or explore financing options.

A vehicle breakdown can happen at any moment so its important to know what to do in this situation. No matter if youre driving an old or new Buick in Bensalem, familiarize yourself with these steps to keep yourself safe in the event of a breakdown.

• Turn on your hazard lights. The first thing you should do in the event of a breakdown is to turn your hazard lights on. Your hazard lights tell other drivers to be cautious when passing your vehicle, which decreases the chance of a collision.
• Pull off the road. Use any remaining power in your vehicle to pull off to the right-hand side of the road. If possible, position your car as far away from traffic as you can and park on a flat surface. 
• Turn on your emergency brake. As soon as your vehicle is in a safe position, turn on your emergency brake. This will prevent your car from rolling into traffic while you call for help.
• Stay in your vehicle. If you’re on a highway or busy road, don’t exit your vehicle to assess the damage or make mechanical repairs. If you must get out of your car for safety reasons, exit through the passenger door and stay away from the flow of traffic.
• Call for help. If you have a membership with a roadside assistance service (like AAA), call their hotline or access the company’s app to request help. If you don’t have a subscription with a roadside assistance service, contact your insurance company — they will be able to arrange a tow truck you. If you aren’t sure who to call or you cannot access the number for your insurance agent, call 911 or your local police non-emergency line if known.

Have you been trying to decide between Buicks Encore and Encore GX, but having trouble picking? They are both amazing vehicles but the right choice will ultimately depend on your specific needs as a driver and the needs of your family members. Here is a quick review of each vehicle, so the next time you decide to look for Buick auto sales in Bucks County, you can already have the right model in mind.

The Buick Encore is slightly less expensive and made for people who need a bit less space. If you are single or have a small family, this lower-end luxury vehicle may be perfect. It has plenty of get-up-and-go with its turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine, and it has the benefit of being easier to park than its larger cousin, the GX. This can make the Buick Encore a better choice for younger drivers as well, as the car is usually considered to be easier to navigate with as well.

The Buick Encore GX is meant for those who haul more or have a slightly larger family and need a bit more space. The Buick Encore GX offers the same strong engine that Buick drivers have come to trust and will get you where you are going in style. The Encore GX also provides more cargo space and legroom since it is three full inches longer than the Encore. Both vehicles get comparable gas mileage, with the GX being slightly better in this department.

New drivers have a lot on their plate. They are learning where to look and hold the wheel, what to watch for, and other nuances that experienced drivers take for granted. At Faulkner Buick GMC Trevose, we want to help new drivers be as safe as possible. Here are five tips that can help new drivers remain safe when theyre on the road.

• Always Buckle Up: Wearing a seatbelt and wearing it right can be a lifesaver. Even if the new driver does everything right, an accident could still occur. Having this safety measure in place can make all the difference, so always buckle your seatbelt before your vehicle starts moving.
• Ignore the Phone: Phones are distracting when sitting home. Behind the wheel, they can quickly become even more dangerous and, in some cases, deadly — even if you use them only for a quick phone call or two-sentence text message. Never use your phone while operating any type of motor vehicle. If you must call or text someone, pull over and stop to do it.
• Always Be Aware: Look at everything going on around you. Being aware of your circumstances and environment can help protect you from a crash. 
• Be Prepared: Make sure you have emergency rations in your vehicle, just in case. This means non-perishable food items, water, blankets, windshield washer fluid, and, if possible, some type of radio that you can call for help with even if you don’t get a cell signal.
• Drive a Safe Vehicle: Even if you cannot afford a new Buick car in Bensalem, there are also used Buick auto sales going on in Bucks County. Find a car that you can depend on that is known for its longevity and safety — like a Buick!

Few things will cause a driver to panic like a stolen vehicle. If you think that youve been the victim of auto theft, take a deep breath and follow these steps.

• Make sure your car hasn’t been impounded. Sure, it sounds silly — but you can save yourself a ton of time and paperwork by making sure your vehicle was not towed, as opposed to actually being stolen, before taking additional steps. Check your local police compound first to make sure that your car isn’t in their possession.
•  Call the police. If your car isn’t in the police compound, it’s time to file a report with the police. Dial your local non-emergency police line as soon as possible. The sooner you submit your report, the more likely you are to get your car back. You’ll need your car’s VIN, make and model, and license plate number to accurately file a missing vehicle report. If you don’t already have this information written down (someplace outside of your car), now is the right time to do so.
• Call your insurance company. No matter what type of insurance policy you have, you should contact your insurance company and report your car stolen. One thing to keep a note of, however, is that your insurance provider will consider your vehicle their property if your vehicle is recovered after you receive a payout.
• Report your car stolen to the DMV. The DMV keeps a record of stolen vehicles and often works together with the police to identify stolen vehicles registered to new owners. If your stolen vehicle comes in under a different registration, they will notify you.

If your car has been stolen or irreparably damaged, you dont need to wait to begin exploring new GMC lease options in Bucks County. Faulkner Buick GMC Trevoses online shopping center allows you to learn more about new and pre-owned cars currently available from the comfort of your home.

As one of the largest auto manufacturers in the United States, most people are familiar with the distinct look and feel of a Buick. But did you know that the companys history dates back over 100 years?

Many people are unaware the first Buick was created back in 1899. That makes Buick the oldest automobile manufacturer in the United States, and one of just a few in the world that was around at that time. In its first year in operation, the Buick company only produced one vehicle; the 1904 Model B. The company quickly expanded its production, moving from Flint, Michigan, to a factory operation located in Detroit.

The first car that would qualify as full-size with a four-cylinder engine came about in 1907. From there, more vehicles with more options became available. As time went on, things like seatbelts, new types of transmissions, and turn signals came into play. Within ten years, the company that had only produced a single car in its first year was making nearly 10,000 cars a year.

The Buicks style has always aimed to combine luxury and affordability. Even monarchs of other countries treated themselves to the nuances that only a Buick offered! In the 1930s, British monarch Edward VIII made headlines when he purchased a custom Buick. The Buick was also a famous favorite of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth while on royal tours through Canada.

Today, Buick is known for its luxurious style and comfort, and the company sells millions of new vehicles per year.
