3 Tips for Not Exceeding Your Buick Lease’s Mileage Limit

For many drivers, a Buick lease can be a better option than buying the car outright. Leasing is advantageous for many reasons, with some of the biggest ones being the lower monthly payments, the increased flexibility, and the ability to drive the newest Buick vehicles when they are first released. However, one stipulation that comes with leasing is the mileage limit. These are some tips on how to not exceed this limit. more 1. Know Your Car’s Mileage Limit The first and most important step to not surpassing your mileage limit is understanding the exact number. Of course, our friendly dealers and finance professionals will let you know the limit when you purchase your vehicle, but the standard mileage limit for a Buick lease is usually 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. If you typically drive more than that in one year, you can opt for a higher mileage limit when you sign the lease. 2. Monitor Your Mileage Throughout your lease, keep close track of your mileage so that you do not exceed it. There are mileage tracker apps, and some drivers opt to write down their odometer readings at the beginning and end of every month. This will help you be aware of how much you’re driving so that you can adjust if necessary. 3. Optimize Your Route Planning the most efficient route on your trips can help you reduce your mileage. Utilize the navigation system in the infotainment system in your Buick SUV to help you route plan.

How Often Do You Need to Change the Oil Filter?

Maintaining your car’s engine system, which includes the oil and oil filter, is one of the most important service tasks. You have likely wondered how often your oil filter needs to be changed and how often to get an oil change in Fairless Hills, PA. The answer is not as straightforward as you may assume, and it depends upon several different factors. Our team of certified Buick and GMC mechanics is happy to answer the question. more The Importance of Changing Your Oil Filter Before going over how often your oil filter needs to be changed, we should first explain why this Buick part is so essential.

Depending on your specific make and model of Buick or GMC car, as well as your driving habits, this number can range from every 3,000 to 10,000 miles. The best way to determine how often your oil filter needs to be changed is to read the owner’s manual or to speak with one of our certified technicians.

Tax Benefits of a Buick Lease

Leasing a Buick car has a number of benefits, with a number of them being financial in nature. You may already know that most Buick leases come with lower monthly payments, but an underrated benefit of taking out a lease is related to the tax implications. Car leases and taxes can be a tricky subject, but our Buick finance experts here at Peruzzi Buick GMC are happy to walk you through the advantages. more Car Leases and Sales Tax Here in Pennsylvania, you will have to pay sales tax when you buy or lease a Buick SUV. This is true whether you pay in cash, take out a loan, or begin a lease. When you purchase a car, you will be paying a six percent state sales tax, plus any local tax that applies to you. However, when taking out a lease, the tax is based on the monthly lease payment. Pennsylvania charges a three percent motor vehicle lease tax in addition to the six percent sales tax on the lease payments. At the end of the day, the total amount in sales tax that you pay on a leased vehicle is often less than the sales tax on a car purchase. Writing Off a Car Lease Another tax benefit of leasing applies if you use the leased vehicle for your business. The IRS includes car leases on its list of eligible vehicle tax deductions, so if you’re self-employed and use your Buick car for your business your lease payments can be written off. Of course, there are stipulations as to how much of the lease can be written off, so it’s advisable to consult a tax professional if you take this route.

Winter Tires

How to Prepare Your Tires for Winter Weather

Winter in the Philadelphia area presents a variety of different driving challenges, including snow, ice, sleet, and road salt. We recommend bringing your car in for a service check at Peruzzi Buick GMC before winter hits, and one additional way you can increase your confidence when driving in winter is by getting your tires prepared. For high-quality tires near Philadelphia, PA, as well as tire service, consult the experts at Peruzzi Buick GMC. more Check Your Tread One of the first things that our mechanics will check during your tire inspection is the tread. Driving on winter roads with poor tread is a recipe for spinning out or failing to gain traction. If you want to check your tire tread yourself, you can stick a quarter into your tire tread with George Washington’s head upside down. If you can see the top of his hair, that means your tread is worn down and it’s time for new tires. Consider Winter Tires One way to gain a huge amount of confidence when driving in winter is to get winter tires installed at our GMC service center. Your vehicle likely came standard with all-season tires, which work adequately in snow and ice, but upgrading to winter tires gives you an additional level of control and handling. Proper Inflation Fluctuations in temperatures that occur during winter can cause your tire pressure to decrease. Driving on tires that are underinflated can harm both performance and fuel efficiency, which is why we recommend keeping a closer eye on your tire pressure during winter. Schedule a service appointment here at Peruzzi Buick GMC so that our mechanics can prepare your tires for wintery weather.
