Buying a new vehicle is only one part of the process. You also need to take care of that vehicle for years to come. Your manufacturer’s warranty will help you do that, but reading through them can make you more confused than you were before you started.

Manufacturer warranties cover a lot of stuff, but there’s also a lot they won’t cover, and it’s crucial to understand what typically gets left out of your warranty and why.

Your manufacturer’s warranty could differ from the norm, so it’s always a good idea to read through it and ask your salesperson for help if you don’t understand something. In general, these points aren’t covered by a manufacturer’s warranty:

The maintenance of your vehicle is your responsibility, so it’s not something the manufacturer will pay for. You’ll need to get on a regular schedule of oil changes, tire rotations, fluid [...]

Diesel cars are not a popular choice in the US. In fact, only 3% of motorists in the US drive one. By comparison, over 50% of drivers in Europe opt for the fantastic fuel economy and environmental benefits of a diesel vehicle.

So, if you are thinking about coming down to see us at Sherry Chrysler and picking yourself out a new car, truck, or SUV, here are some fantastic reasons that you should choose one with a diesel engine!

There was a time when you could sell a diesel vehicle on the fact that diesel fuel was so much cheaper than gas. These days, the cost at the pump for diesel tends to be the same or even more than regular gas.

This parity of price tends to trick people into thinking that diesel and gas cars cost the same to run, but the truth is that a diesel car can be [...]

A car is a big purchase regardless of whether it’s new or used. That’s why several financing options exist to help you afford the car you want and need. No matter the finance option, though, it’s likely you’ll need a down payment before you can drive off in your new ride.

But how much do you have to pay and how much should you pay? Sometimes, paying a little more than required for your car loan is the best way to go.

Although some promotions make it possible to pay $0 down on a new or used vehicle, more often than not, you’ll need at least some money down. And, even when an offer gives you the chance to skip a down payment, you might want to consider paying something anyway. Down payments have several benefits for you, including:

The more you pay when you sign for [...]

Here at Sherry Chrysler, we believe in giving you the financial options you need to get the vehicle of your dreams, which is why we offer both financing and leasing packages for many of our cars, SUVs and pickup trucks.

In this article, we’ll break down exactly what leasing a car, or buying one on finance, actually means and what the benefits are of each option, so you have the information you need to make the right decision.

The best way to think of a car lease is that it is like renting a car, but instead of paying money upfront for the rental period, you pay equal monthly payments until you reach the end of your lease.

Once your lease is up, you have to return the car to the dealer. Depending on the terms of your particular contract, you may then have the option to pay a lump sum [...]
