Your Next Car: Buy or Lease?

It's the age-old question: Should I buy or lease my next new car? While both have their pros and cons, the decision is different for every customer. To help you determine which one is best for you, here's a breakdown of both options.

Leasing

• Customers can drive a more expensive car for less money.
• It allows you to drive a new vehicle every few years.
• There are no trade-in hassles at the end of the lease.

Buying

• Customers have more flexibility, which allows them to sell the car whenever you want.
• There are no unexpected mileage penalties for increased driving.
• Car expenses will be lower in the long run.
• Customers have the right to modify the car to their wants/needs

Driver Beware: The Most Terrifying Road in the U.S.

As Halloween approaches, many of us partake in the reading of scary ghost stories. We huddle around and listen intently as our friends tell frightening tales of haunting and mysterious encounters with the paranormal.

While many of us have heard stories of haunted houses, spooky tales of poltergeist activity aren’t just reserved for homes and abandoned buildings. After doing some online research, we uncovered countless reports of haunted roads and highways.

One of the most frightening roads we came across was Clinton Road in New Jersey. Dubbed “The Most Terrifying Road in the U.S.” by Yahoo, this road is home to many well-documented strange and eerie occurrences. From phantom wolves with piercing red eyes to scary ghost children walking along the woods, many have experienced these spooky paranormal mysteries.

Clinton Road absolutely qualifies as a terrifying and haunted roadway. Traveling along this stretch of road isn’t for the faint of heart!

While driving on this road will certainly send shivers down your spine, buying a new car shouldn’t be a frightening experience. If you’re looking for a new car, be sure to stop by our Chevrolet dealership and take a new car for a test drive today!

What Your Orange Chevrolet Says About You

The car you drive says a lot about you. But what does your car's color say about your personality? According to a recent report on iVillage.com, driving an orange car means you're an artistic, individual, complex person.

An orange Chevy is the epitome of unique. It’s one of the most interesting colors because people who normally choose orange are usually very artistic, creative and original. Not to mention they’re very individualistically charming. Owners of orange vehicles also carry a certain complexity to their personality as well.

Three Things Every Road Trip Must Have

Summer is coming to a close. But before we turn the calendar to the upcoming fall season, many of us are hitting the road for one final road trip. Whether it's with your best friend or a group of family members, the time on the road can be a big factor in determining the success of your trip.
So before you head out on the road, here are three things to make sure you bring on your next vacation.

• A Road-worthy Playlist: Whether it's for two hours or two days, a road trip will be a lot more enjoyable if you have some great tunes to listen to. Here are some tried-and-true songs for the road: "Graceland," by Paul Simon, "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," by U2, "Take it Easy," by the Eagles, and an all-time classic, "On the Road Again," by Willie Nelson.
• Snacks and Food: It's a given for any road trip. At some point, the hungry roar of your stomach bellows through the car. Avoid the hunger blues by bringing a good supply of snacks. Our favorites are fruit, granola bars, crackers and juice packs.
• A Good Camera: What good is a vacation if you don't have a camera handy to capture all those precious memories? Be sure to pack your favorite camera so you can take great photos of your most adventurous and exciting vacations.

If you plan ahead and pack accordingly, every vacation can be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for everyone. Along with these essentials, it's also important to make sure your car is in great shape. Before heading out on your next adventure, be sure to schedule a service appointment at our Chevrolet dealership.

Survive the Zombie Apocalypse with a Chevy Camaro

This summer, we watched Brad Pitt fight zombies in the movie blockbuster, World War Z. As we watched Pitt drive through the devastated cities, we got to thinking… How could the Chevrolet Camaro help you survive the zombie apocalypse? After some careful thought and deliberation, here are our top three reasons to add the Chevy sports car to your zombie survival guide:

1. EPA-Estimated 30 MPG – It won’t be long before gas becomes a scarce commodity, so a car that gets plenty of miles per gallon is a must.
2. 426 Horsepower – You’ll need to get somewhere safe as soon as possible, and the Camaro has plenty of power to get you there.
3. Remote Start – Time is precious, especially if you’re being chased by a pack of zombies. Starting your car and unlocking the doors remotely could be a life saver, literally.

1. Ventilated Front Seats – Avoid giving her the cold shoulder and make sure her seat is nice and comfy.
2. Chevrolet MyLink – Set the mood with a romantic playlist from Pandora and make sure you stay on course with the navigation system.
3. Plenty of Storage – No one likes a cluttered car. There’s smart storage in the door panels and armrest, as well as umbrella storage in the front doors, and integrated cup holders and phone storage in the console.
