Should You Buy or Lease Your Next Chevy?

Deciding between buying and leasing your next Chevrolet is a big decision. Both options have their unique advantages, and it's important to understand which one matches your lifestyle the best. Whether you're eyeing the latest Silverado, a family-friendly Equinox, or the eco-friendly Bolt, you have to decide whether to buy or lease when you roll up to the Chevy dealership. The Freedom of Ownership Long-Term Financial Benefits When you buy a Chevy, it becomes your property. This means you can keep it as long as you want, and there are no restrictions on how much you can drive it. Over time, even though the car depreciates, it still holds some value which can be used toward your next vehicle purchase. Freedom to Customize As the owner, you have the freedom to modify your Chevy as you see fit. Want to add a custom paint job, new rims, or performance upgrades? Go right ahead. The car is yours to tailor to your tastes. No Restrictions on Usage Owning your car means there are no mileage restrictions. This is a significant advantage if you drive a lot. Leases typically have mileage limits, and exceeding them can lead to large fines. The Flexibility and Convenience of Leasing Lower Monthly Payments Leasing often comes with lower monthly payments compared to buying a car with a loan. This is because lease payments are based on the vehicle's depreciation during the lease term, not the total value of the car. Warranty Coverage Most leases last for the length of the vehicle's warranty period. This means that for most of your lease term, major repairs will likely be covered, potentially saving you money on maintenance. Always Driving a New Car Leasing allows you to drive a new Chevy every few years. Once your lease term is up, you can simply return the car and lease another brand-new one, ensuring you always have the latest features and technology. Should You Buy or Lease at the Chevy Dealership? If you drive a lot, buying might be a better option since you won't have mileage limits. You should also consider your financial situation. Buying a car is a long-term investment and typically requires a higher down payment and higher monthly payments. Leasing can be more manageable in the short term but does not contribute to ownership. If you like the idea of owning a car for many years, buying is a good option. If you prefer to change cars frequently, or you're unsure about your long-term vehicle needs, leasing offers more flexibility. Be sure to do your research and decide which option offers the benefits that matter most to you. Soon, you'll be well on your way to enjoying your new Chevy in a way that suits you best.

Four Things That Are Covered Under Chevy's Extended Warranty

An extended warranty is one way you can reduce the cost of unexpected repairs and protect the value of your Chevy. You can purchase extended coverage plans from your Chevy dealer before your factory warranty runs out. 1. Bumper-to-Bumper The new Chevy limited warranty lasts for three years, or 36,000 miles. To extend your bumper-to-bumper coverage, you can sign up for the Chevrolet Extended Limited Warranty, which extends the term of your limited warranty to five years or up to 60,000 miles. You can only add the Chevy Extended Limited Warranty to your vehicle when you buy it, and the cost of the plan can be bundled into your monthly vehicle payments. 2. Advanced Features Under the Chevrolet Platinum Plan, which is the highest warranty tier, many of the advanced features on your Chevy will be covered. These advanced features can include blind-spot sensors, heated seats, and a power tailgate lock. The audio and navigation systems on your Chevy are also covered under the Platinum plan, along with over 1,000 other vehicle components. 3. Powertrain All tiers of the Chevy protection plans offer powertrain coverage. The Chevrolet Powertrain Plan is the most basic level of coverage for the powertrain, as well as other important components of the engine like the drive axle and transmission. The Chevrolet Silver Protection Plan also covers the powertrain, engine, seals, gaskets, and transmission. Under the Silver plan, if you have a factory-installed turbocharger, this component is also covered. 4. Electrical System The Chevrolet Silver Protection Plan will cover the electrical systems in your Chevy as well as your air conditioning or climate control systems. Coverage for your electrical systems is essential these days, since many Chevy vehicles are fully loaded with electric monitors and other vehicle components that rely on electric wiring. What Isn't Covered? While the Chevy protection plans and extended limited warranty offer a great deal of protection, these plans don't cover every vehicle component. The main coverage exclusions for these plans are the battery, battery cable, tire pressure sensors, key fobs, tires, wheels, and components of the vehicle related to emissions. Special trim items are also not covered. Can You Extend Your Warranty Coverage At Your Chevy Dealer? One of the easiest ways to extend the terms of your warranty is to purchase an additional warranty at your dealership. The finance experts at Mike Kelly Chevrolet can walk you through all of your warranty options, so you can select the coverage that offers you the best vehicle protection at a price you can afford.
