When you’re in the market for a quality used vehicle, you may wonder if a used one is a right choice. There are many questions and unknowns that come with buying a previously owned vehicle, such as the car’s history, condition of the engine, return on investment, and more. Purchasing a new vehicle can be very enticing, mainly because, well, you’re getting a brand-new car. While there can be some drawbacks to buying used, we believe there are quite a few advantages that can provide you with a first-rate vehicle at a much more affordable price.

Let’s look at some of the many benefits of purchasing a new-to-you vehicle from Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC.

Save Money Buying Used

The first, and usually the number one, reason people buy used over new is to save money. It’s no surprise that purchasing a used car is more affordable than buying a new one. You’re also extending your wallet even further by getting more for your money with a used vehicle. Previously owned cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs often include additional upgrades you wouldn’t have purchased if you bought that same car fresh out of the factory.

Enjoy Lower Depreciation

Speaking of brand-new cars, did you know that the moment you drive a new vehicle off the lot, it has already depreciated? The minute you drive away with your new car, it is no longer considered new and doesn’t hold the same value you paid minutes ago. If you decided to return your new car the next day, you’d probably not receive the same amount you bought it for a day earlier.

Consider Certified Pre-Owned

If a warranty is what you’re looking for in a new vehicle, consider buying a certified pre-owned. These vehicles are required to pass a comprehensive inspection and meet the following requirements:

• Six years old or less
• No more than 75,000 miles
• Clean vehicle history
• Pass a 172-point inspection that includes exterior, interior, undercarriage, and engine bay

Several of our certified pre-owned vehicles include some amazing benefits, such as roadside assistance, a scheduled maintenance program, and additional warranties.

Save On Insurance Costs

There’s more than the price tag to consider when it comes to saving money when you purchase a used car. You’ll also save on insurance costs. Insurance rates are typically based on the driver’s age, driving history, credit score, location of residence, and the car’s mileage. Another determining factor is the car’s value. Used cars have less value than new ones, resulting in lower insurance payments.

You can also save on your rates depending on the type of insurance you carry on your used vehicle. In Oklahoma, residents are required to carry a minimum amount of coverage. These requirements include:

• Bodily injury liability coverage at $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
• Property damage liability coverage at $25,000
• Uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage at $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident

Many finance companies and lenders require car owners to carry comprehensive collision coverage also when taking out a loan for a new car. This extra coverage will only increase your insurance rates.

Pay Less in Registration Fees

Oklahoma requires each vehicle to be registered with the Oklahoma Department of Motor Vehicles. Registration fees are similar to insurance rates. If you have an older vehicle rather than a new one, your registration fees will also be lower. Oklahoma vehicle registration fees are as follows:

• $96 for years one through four
• $86 for years five through eight
• $66 for years nine through 12
• $46 for years 13 through 16
• $26 for years 17 and up

Enjoy a Long-Lasting Vehicle

With advancements in the vehicle industry, most used cars last much longer than they did in previous years. Vehicles can now run for an average of 12 years, especially if maintained and repaired regularly. Where most cars used to show signs of serious wear and tear around 100,000 miles, car manufacturers are now building vehicles to last up to 200,000 miles and beyond. With the availability of data and easy access to a car’s history, you can quickly discover just how long the specific vehicle you’re thinking of buying will most likely last.

Finance Used Cars With Ease

When it comes to financing your used car, many dealerships are more than willing to assist. Some even work with local lending institutions, such as community banks or credit unions, to finance your used car. They handle the entire financing process from start to finish and can explain the finance agreement using simple and easy-to-understand terms.

Many auto dealerships offer special financing specifically for people who have poor credit or are working on improving their credit. At Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC, we do our best to find a financial and payment plan that works within your budget and with your credit history.

We’ve listed some of the more common reasons for buying a used vehicle, but there are many more, including:

• Savings on sales tax and dealer fees
• No extra spending on premium features
• Extensive selection of various makes and models
• Reliable vehicles in quality condition
• Avoiding hidden fees
• Availability of reviews from used car owners
• And many more

With a used car, truck, van, or SUV from Seminole Chevrolet Buck GMC, you can drive off the lot with the peace of mind that you’ve saved money on buying an affordable vehicle without sacrificing quality or style. We also buy used cars and offer maximum value in return. When you sell us your used car or truck, it’ll offset the price of your next new-to-you vehicle, saving you even more money.

Don’t wait any longer to find your next used or certified pre-owned vehicle from us. Check out our online inventory or stop by our lot today. You can also contact us today at 405-748-0171. We’ll be happy to talk to you more about purchasing a used car and do our best to help you find a vehicle that is perfect for you, your family, and your budget.

Car ownership is a huge responsibility. In addition to making monthly payments, you need to make sure your vehicle is in top-notch condition. Doing so will allow you to operate it longer and sell or trade it in at a premium price. At Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC, we recommend following these important vehicle maintenance tips. You have the choice of performing them on your own or scheduling an appointment with our service department. 

Your Best Friend: The Owner’s Manual

You may be thinking that your vehicle’s owner’s manual is boring and a complete waste of your time. While it’s not necessary to read the entire manual, it’s in your best interest to become familiar with the maintenance needs of your particular vehicle. It’s suggested you review the maintenance schedule and add the recommended tasks to your calendar. Remember, you want your car to be in the best shape possible. Referring to the owner’s manual will help make that happen.

Monthly Maintenance

Part of keeping your car or truck in good condition is taking care of tasks that may seem insignificant. These small yet important maintenance duties are essential to having a clean car that runs well while avoiding larger, more expensive problems. 

Clean Your Windshield

After a long road trip, your windshield may look like it’s been in the middle of an insect war. A windshield that is full of bugs, debris, and dirt, can quickly obstruct your view of the road. Depending on how often you drive, you may want to clean your windshield every time you stop at the gas station. Otherwise, giving it a good shine twice a month will keep your eyes on the road and not the bug battle that’s happening on your windshield.

Check Tire Pressure

Checking the pressure of your tires can save you money on both repairs and gas. When tires aren’t inflated to the recommended pressure, they become a safety hazard to you and your wallet. Vehicles with the correct tire pressure minimize the chance of getting a flat on the road and maximize your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, making that expensive tank of gas you just purchased last much longer. You can find the recommended tire pressure for your specific car in the owner’s manual.

Inspect Oil Level

Motor oil in your engine has an extremely important job. It lubricates all its moving parts preventing them from being damaged due to normal wear and tear. Oil also works as a cleansing agent by capturing combustion byproducts and running them through the oil filter. Without the right amount of oil, your vehicle will experience serious, and costly, damage.

Maintenance Every Three Months

Preventive maintenance tasks that should be performed every three months are vital to the life of your car. It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is brand new or an older model, changing the oil, checking all fluids, and examining belts and hoses can make a huge difference in how well your vehicle operates.

Change Oil and Oil Filter

You may already know the crucial role that motor oil plays in your car’s engine. Not only do you need to inspect the levels each month, but you should also change the oil every three months. An oil filter is a temporary tool that maintains the health of your car’s engine between oil changes. Typically every three months or 3,000 miles, both the oil and oil filter need to be replaced. 

Examine All Fluid Levels

In addition to changing the oil, all other fluids in your vehicle should be checked too. Brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid are imperative for a car or sport utility vehicle (SUV) to operate smoothly and efficiently. If you choose to take your vehicle to an auto service center for its oil changes, the trained technicians will also check and refill these other fluids.

Check Belts and Hoses

Belts and hoses are additional components that keep your vehicle in optimal condition. Hoses are responsible for directing coolant to various parts of the engine to prevent overheating. Hoses that are cracked or show damage should be replaced immediately. Well-running belts are also essential to preventing significant car or truck damage. Two of the most common belts, the serpentine and timing, can cause serious damage if they break while driving.

Annual Maintenance

These annual maintenance tasks are typical for the average vehicle. Be sure to double-check the owner’s manual in case they need to be performed sooner rather than later.

Rotate Tires

As you drive every day, your vehicle’s tires begin to form a natural wear pattern. Rotating your tires at least once a year, possibly more if you drive long distances, normalizes this pattern, providing you with a safe and smooth ride. It can also extend the life of your tires, saving you on expensive replacement costs.

Change Air Filter

Air filters should be changed every 12,000 miles or once a year. An air filter traps dirt, sand, and dust, preventing the engine from getting clogged with debris and contaminants. Replacing it each year protects your engine, increases fuel efficiency, and reduces harmful emissions.

Maintenance as Needed

Some vehicle maintenance tasks only need to be addressed as various issues arise. When you do notice signs or symptoms of these common repair problems, it’s recommended you schedule an appointment with your mechanic as soon as possible.

Watch and Listen for Brake Issues

It’s probably not necessary to tell you just how important brakes are to a vehicle. When brakes are beginning to wear, you will typically hear or feel an issue while driving. These are indications that you should, at the very least, have them examined by a professional tire technician. Call a professional right away if you notice any of these signs or sounds:

• Brakes that feel sponge-like or soft, or if it takes more pressure than usual to stop your vehicle
• Brake sounds such as squealing, grinding, rattling, or any irregular or inconsistent noises

Replace Wiper Blades

Just like having a clean windshield, working wiper blades are essential to the safety of you and the passengers in your car. Wiper blades that leave streaks don’t clean well, or scratch the windshield can block your view of the road and make it very difficult to drive safely.

Following these important vehicle maintenance tips will keep your car healthy and happy for many years. Contact us today to schedule an appointment. and we’ll be happy to expertly maintain your car, truck, van, or SUV.

If you live in the tranquil Seminole area and are looking for family-friendly activities to change your routine, this post is for you. We want you to see that Seminole is the perfect place for outdoor and indoor activities. You may already know that any of the area’s beautiful parks are great places to do fun things and spend quality time with your loved ones.

However, you don’t need to let the absence of numerous other entertainment venues limit your options when you want to have a wonderful time with your family. This post introduces you to six fun local places to go with all your household members. We hope you find it helpful. Enjoy.

Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum

A family trip to the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum is one of the best ways to enjoy a pleasant and different type of day. Don’t let the museum’s name fool you. Even though kids are the primary target, adults of all ages are welcome, and there are fun activities for the entire family.

The museum has everything from brain quizzes and innovative attractions to a massive outdoor playing field. There is even an imaginary town where you can expose your kids to self-discovery. There’s a whole section dedicated to healthcare careers where kids are encouraged to become whatever they want in the field — whether a nurse, doctor, or hospitalist. In fact, the museum promotes over 300 career options, and kids can even experience what it feels like to take care of a baby in an incubator or ride a real ambulance in case of an emergency.

Tickets cost $8 for adults and $7 for kids, though adults over 70 years old pay the same fees as kids.

Oklahoma Oil Museum

The Oklahoma Oil Museum made it to this list because Seminole has a rich history. The fun and catchy activities this museum offers are some of the best ways to help your children learn about it. Like the Children’s Museum, you can find both outdoor and indoor activities.

A diorama display in the main room explains how Seminole became a boom town in the 1920s and onwards. In short, a family visit to this museum will enlighten all of you about Seminole’s role in Oklahoma’s development. And to help you get the most from your visit, they offer a guide that will make navigating the entire venue easy.

Sportsman Lake

Going to Sportsman Lake may be what you’re looking for if you’re after something more daring and adventurous. This location is ideal for fishing, camping, boating, RVing, and horseback riding. If your family agrees to go, then it’s better if you spend the whole weekend there. That way, you can try all the things it has to offer.

Ticket prices are affordable, and every activity has a different price point. For example, the basic fee (for walking and exploring) is $8, boating is $5 per day, and the equestrian trail is $3 daily. Before going, please check Sportsman Lake’s website to stay updated with everything happening there.

Note that drinking alcoholic beverages, littering, fireworks, swimming after dark, jet skiing, and firearms are prohibited.

Strothers Twin Cinema

Recently renovated, The Strothers Twin Cinema is a good option if you are looking for a pleasant and warm family environment where you can enjoy a good movie. One thing that makes this theater so special is its meaning to the Seminole community.

As you may know, we live in a small town, and this is one of our few entertainment venues. The theater is clean and plays current movies. Regarding prices, anyone should be able to afford a ticket. Adults pay $7, children 12 years old and younger pay $6, children 3 years old and under get in for free, seniors over 65 years old pay $6, and active-duty military personnel pay $6.

Snowman Wonderland

Snowman Wonderland has one of Oklahoma’s best light displays. Many Seminole residents make a yearly tradition of viewing this display every December — it’s an event we never want to miss. We recommend you mark your calendar because this is a beautiful way to spend a night with your loved ones.

We don’t know the itinerary for next December at the time of this writing. Still, there were several attractions last year, including:

• Riding the trolley
• Renting a golf cart
• Proposals with “Would You Marry Me?” lights and a horse and carriage ride
• Several activities at Reynold’s Wellness Center
• Luminaries on the lake
• Christmas recitals
• Santa Claus meetups
• The fireworks finale

Don’t forget to check their social media accounts or website frequently to see whether they’re offering new activities this year or sticking with the ones mentioned above.

Boom Town Park

One of Seminole’s hidden gems, Boom Town Park is a jungle gym built to provide fun for children and their parents. The playground equipment accommodates kids and adults, so you can play along with your children and even challenge them to races.

Don’t forget to pack snacks, drinks, and even meals if you plan to spend the day there. We’re sure you and your family are going to love it.

There you have it, our favorite family-friendly activities to do in Seminole, Oklahoma. Have you been to any of these places? Do you agree with our list? Did we miss something? Please let us know — we’d love to get your feedback, especially if you have a favorite spot perfect for family time. Then we can spread the word and help our beloved Seminole residents.

Here at Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC, we’re 100% committed to the growth of every aspect of our community. That’s why we strive to please and provide our clients with only the best service. If you or any of your friends would like to know more about our vehicles or services, we invite you to get in touch. One of our committed team members will get back to you as soon as possible.

Do you need a spacious SUV to transport your family for a weekend trip out of town or the daily commute? The 2023 Chevy Tahoe offers room for up to nine people across three rows and plenty of cargo space at the rear for your things. Built on the same frame as Chevy’s popular Silverado pickup, the Tahoe offers a range of engine choices that can shift this big SUV around without any trouble.

Our Chevy experts here at Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC have put together an overview of the 2023 Tahoe’s key features to help you decide if it’s the right vehicle for you.

2023 Tahoe Engine and Performance Specs

2023 Chevrolet Tahoe

All three engine options in the 2023 Tahoe provide you with plenty of power for your daily driving needs. The base option is a 5.3-liter V-8 that puts out 355 horsepower. It’s one of the popular V-8s that provides enough brawn for Silverado pickup drivers.

The two optional offerings are a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 and a six-cylinder turbodiesel that cranks out 277 horsepower. Don’t let the turbodiesel’s lower horsepower rating fool you. It generates torque rapidly after you hit the accelerator, making a swift shift from zero to 60 mph.

The turbodiesel engine is your best option if you prioritize strong fuel economy. The Tahoe gets 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway with the six-cylinder unit. Both V-8 options are good for 20 mpg on the highway.

If towing heavy loads is something you do regularly, the Tahoe is well-equipped to help. Its maximum towing capacity of 8,400 pounds is enough to pull a large camper, trailer, or boat out of town for the weekend. You get maximum towing capacity by opting for the smaller V-8 engine, rear-wheel drive, and Chevy’s Max Trailering package. The Tahoe’s other two engine options are still more than adequate for towing but have towing limits that are a couple of hundred pounds lower than the 5.3-liter V-8 model.

Chevy Tahoe Passenger and Cargo Space

You can configure the Tahoe’s passenger capacity to suit your family’s requirements. The standard setup provides room for eight people, with bench seats in the second and third rows. Even the third row has enough legroom to accommodate tall passengers.

If you want to provide extra comfort for people riding in the second row, you can replace the bench seat with captain’s chairs, reducing your overall capacity to seven. Alternatively, you can add a bench seat in the front row to boost your passenger capacity to nine. Keep in mind that the middle seat in the front row in this setup has minimal legroom.

The Tahoe’s cabin remains incredibly spacious even with a full quota of passengers. Behind the third row, you’ll find about 25 cubic feet of storage space. There should be plenty of room to pack your family’s luggage for a weekend trip away or transport a large load of groceries back home. If you fold down the third-row seating, you’ll have over 72 cubic feet of space, which should be enough to fit bulky household items. With both rear rows of seating folded flat, the Tahoe’s cargo capacity reaches over 122 cubic feet.

Tahoe Infotainment and Safety Features

The entertainment system in the Tahoe is called Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus. It features a 10.2-inch screen and a six-speaker stereo. Unlike many competitors, the Tahoe has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to link your phone to the infotainment system without using a USB port. Other connectivity options include BlueTooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and eight USB ports.

You can upgrade to a premium stereo with either nine or 10 speakers, a navigation system, and wireless device charging. Another highlight of the Tahoe is the optional rear-seat infotainment system, which gives second-row passengers their own entertainment screens.

While your passengers are entertained by the Tahoe’s wide range of infotainment features, its long list of safety tech can help keep you safe and secure. Standard features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. Lane Departure warnings and lane keep assistance are useful aids when traveling on the highway. At the same time, the front and rear parking sensors make it much easier to maneuver this big SUV into a tight spot.

The Tahoe’s rear-seat reminder warns you to check in the back row seating for kids or pets before you leave the car. If you have older children who are learning to drive, the Teen Driver feature allows you to put restrictions on how your Tahoe is used by other drivers. For example, you can impose a speed limit so they don’t drive too fast.

2023 Tahoe Trims

You can choose from six trims if you’re buying a Tahoe: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country. Several factors come into play when arriving at your decision, including cabin comfort and off-roading ability.

The base LS trim has upscale features, such as power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and automatic climate control. Stepping up to the LT gets you leather upholstery, heated front seats, and memory settings for the driver’s seat. The RST has similar features to the LT, but this trim stands out thanks to its unique dark interior and exterior styling elements.

Off-roading fans should go for the Z71, which comes standard with four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, all-terrain tires, a skid plate, and hill descent control. You can add an air suspension system to boost the Tahoe’s ground clearance from 8 to 10 inches. Finally, the Premier and High Country trims offer all the luxury features you can imagine, including a surround-sound audio system. The High Country model includes a 15-inch head-up display.

As you can see, the 2023 Tahoe offers a diverse lineup to meet your needs. Whether you want to take your family on an off-roading adventure or have a spacious vehicle for your daily commute, you can configure the Tahoe to meet your needs. If you need any help deciding on which trim to buy or you’d like to arrange a test drive in Seminole to see how this Chevy SUV performs, don’t hesitate to contact us today. Our Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC team is standing by to help you get behind the wheel of your dream vehicle.

Seminole, Oklahoma, is a small community situated southeast of Oklahoma City. It gets its name from the Seminole Nation, one of the Five Civilized Tribes that settled in Oklahoma. It sits between Tulsa and Oklahoma City and offers visitors and residents a wide variety of outdoor activities and local events throughout the year. Let’s take a look at some of the top things to do in Seminole, Oklahoma.

Visit Sportsman Lake

Sportsman Lake sits about five miles east of Seminole. It stretches for almost two miles and has 15 miles of shoreline, offering visitors plenty of open water for fishing, swimming, and boating. Facilities include 69 campsites, boat docks, boat ramps, electric hookups, covered pavilions, and picnic areas, so there’s everything you need to spend a weekend or longer at this lake.

Camping at the lake is a popular activity. There are 10 shaded RV sites with full hookups and eleven RV sites with partial hookups. You’ll also find primitive camping sites if you prefer tent camping.

The equestrian facilities at Sportsman Lake are perfect for a weekend of riding, which offers pipe corrals, picket poles, and a covered pavilion, along with restrooms, showers, and campsites. You’ll need a ride permit for the equestrian trails, and there are maps at the trailhead if you need help finding your way around.

Explore Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum

The Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum is a 42,000-square-foot facility designed to inspire children to use their imaginations. It features indoor and outdoor fun, with exhibits encouraging hands-on exploration, including a riding train and miniature houses. There are exhibits for every child, including career-based fun, so they can pretend to be anything from a firefighter to a judge or a news anchor.

Other exhibits at the museum include:

Jasmine’s eatery has various kid-friendly snacks, juice, and other cold drinks when you need a break from all the fun. If you prefer to bring your own lunch, there are eating areas inside and outside where you can sit and relax. There are also several restaurants near the museum for guests who want to grab something outside the museum. You are welcome to leave and then come back to finish your day of exploring.

Try Your Luck at Seminole Nation Casino

The Seminole Nation Casino is a must if you enjoy trying your luck with casino games. The Seminole Nation has three casinos and over 700 slot machines combined.

When it’s time to buy a new car, you probably have quite a few questions. Should you trade in your vehicle so you can put the value toward a new car, should you hold on to your vehicle, or should you sell it to somebody else? These can be tough questions to answer, but you can start by going over your options and learning about their advantages and disadvantages.

In particular, trading in your vehicle comes with many benefits. Read on to explore the reasons you might consider trading in your vehicle when you’re ready to buy a new one.

Trading in Your Vehicle Still Lets You Finance Your Purchase

If you want to get a vehicle loan to pay for your next purchase, you can do so while also trading in your vehicle. In fact, you may have more financing options if you do a trade-in because it can help lower your interest rate.

You can also trade in your vehicle if you already have a loan. For example, if you have a loan on your current vehicle, you can roll over negative equity into your new loan and continue to pay off just one loan. Any positive equity will roll over into your down payment on your new vehicle.

Trading in Your Vehicle Reduces Sales Tax

If you trade your vehicle to a dealership, you can expect to pay less on sales tax. In Oklahoma, you should expect to pay a tax of 3.25% on new vehicles. If you buy a used vehicle, you can pay an even lower rate of sales tax, depending on the car’s price. With a trade-in, you don’t pay sales tax on the value of the vehicle you give to the dealership.

For instance, if you buy a brand-new vehicle without a trade-in at $30,000, you can expect to pay sales tax on the full amount. In comparison, if you trade in a vehicle worth $10,000, you can expect to pay sales tax on just $20,000 of the purchase. This saves you a lot of money and perhaps makes trading in your vehicle more financially lucrative than selling it elsewhere.

You won’t get this benefit if you sell your car to a third party. You’ll still have to pay the full tax amount at the dealership, even if you sold your car specifically to pay for your new vehicle.

Trading in Your Vehicle Saves Time and Work

One of the biggest downsides to trying to sell a car is that it takes time. Even if you have a great car available, there are some situations in which you could struggle to unload your vehicle.

For example, you could pay to place ads online, post great photos of the car, and spend hours taking phone calls about the car. You might even spend hours cleaning and detailing your vehicle so that it looks its best. In some cases, people spend hundreds of dollars repairing their vehicles to entice buyers. But at the end of the day, week, or month, it still might not sell quickly.

While trying to sell a car may feel like it’s taking forever, it’s much quicker to simply trade it to a dealership. If you choose to trade your vehicle to the dealer when you buy a new one, the process is as simple as going to the dealership, signing paperwork, and then leaving in your new vehicle. You don’t have to do anything special to your car besides remove your personal items.

Trading in Your Vehicle Helps You Get Cash on Less-Than-Perfect Cars

Even if your vehicle isn’t in mint condition, you can get something for it at the dealership. While the appearance of your vehicle may turn away third-party buyers, the dealership might still be interested in your car. It may have plans to repair the car and sell it, send it to the auction, or use its parts. No matter the mileage or cosmetic issues with your vehicle, you should have no problem getting a bit of value in exchange.

This also means you don’t have to repair your vehicle before you trade it in. In many cases, this saves time and a lot of money. The dealership makes repairs to ensure that the vehicle is ready for purchase in the future, and you can simply take off in your new car.

Trading in Your Vehicle Removes Doubts

When you accept payment from a third party, you might still have questions about the process. For instance, you may be cautious about taking a check from a stranger. It could be fraudulent, or it could completely bounce, and the other person already has your vehicle and its title. You may have little recourse.

When you bring your car to a dealership as part of a trade-in, you get cash you can count on. The value of the car is taken out of the transaction right away, and you never have to worry about fraud or scams that leave you in a worse position.

Trading in Your Vehicle May Be the Best Option Right Now

If you’re trying to figure out what you want to do with your current vehicle, you have a big decision ahead of you. While you may not be sure if you want to trade your vehicle right now, speaking with the dealership can offer more insight into which choice would be most beneficial financially and personally. You may find that the answer isn’t necessarily as simple as it appears on the surface.

At Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC, we understand how valuable your vehicle is to you. We also know how important it is for you to feel comfortable with your car’s trade-in value. Take a look at our new car inventory and determine which vehicle you might want to purchase next. You may find that the best way to get a new car you love is to trade in your current vehicle. If you have any questions about the trade-in process, give us a call at 405-748-0171 or send us a message today.

The Yukon has always been a favorite of drivers and passengers alike, and we expect the 2023 model to be no different. If you’re in the market for a new SUV, the 2023 GMC Yukon is worth considering. Let’s take a closer look at what the all-new 2023 GMC Yukon has to offer.

2023 GMC Yukon: Trim Options

2023 GMC Yukon

For 2023, the GMC Yukon will receive an additional trim level: the all-new Denali Ultimate. This new trim will join the existing four trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali trims. Each trim level offers a unique set of features and amenities. So, whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or the most luxurious version of the Yukon, there’s sure to be a trim level perfect for you. Here is a brief overview of each trim level:

• SLE: Starting at an MSRP of $56,295, the SLE trim is the most affordable option. Even though this entry-level trim is short of a few luxury and driver-assistive features, it still comes standard with a long list of features, including LED headlights, body-colored heated side mirrors, a 10-inch infotainment system, and more.
• SLT: If you’re looking for a little more luxury, the SLT trim might be right for you. It starts at an MSRP of $62,995 and comes standard with features like leather seating surfaces, chrome exterior accents, a hands-free power liftgate, and a wireless charging pad.
• AT4: The AT4 trim is the off-road focused option, starting at an MSRP of $70,795. It comes standard with features like an advanced all-wheel-drive system, skid plates, tow hooks, all-terrain tires, and Magnetic Ride Control that automatically adjusts the shock dampers.
• Denali: For the ultimate in luxury and comfort, check out the Denali trim. It starts at an MSRP of $73,800 and comes standard with features such as power extendable side steps, perforated leather seating surfaces, a panoramic sunroof, and a 14-speaker Bose audio system.
• Denali Ultimate: The all-new Denali Ultimate trim is the range-topping option. It comes standard with all of the features of the aforementioned Denali trim, plus additional luxuries like Super Cruise, an 18-speaker Bose Performance audio system, and 22-inch alloy wheels. Its official pricing is a whooping $93,995 MSRP.

2023 GMC Yukon: Performance

When it comes to performance, the 2023 GMC Yukon offers a butterfly-smooth driving experience. Under the hood of the base model is a standard 355 horsepower 5.3-liter V-8 engine. The powertrain is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and produces 383 lb-ft of torque. When paired with rear-wheel drive, it has a towing capacity of up to 8,400 pounds. For those who want even more power, there is an available 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

For the fuel conscious, an optional 3-liter turbodiesel six-cylinder engine offers the best fuel economy. It produces 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. For even more off-road capability, the AT trim comes standard with an advanced all-wheel-drive system that includes a two-speed transfer case and an electronic limited-slip rear differential. This system helps to provide optimal traction on any terrain, whether you’re driving on the street, in the mud, or on the sand.

General Motors Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is standard on the new Denali Ultimate trim. This system automatically adjusts the shock dampers to provide a smooth ride, regardless of the terrain. It’s also designed to improve handling and stability. Still, for those who want even more control, a Magnetic Ride Control system offers Sport and Touring drive modes. This system provides a more aggressive suspension tuning if you want to take the Yukon on a more spirited drive.

Super Cruise is another new addition for the 2023 model year and is standard on the Denali Ultimate trim. This system offers hands-free driving on compatible roads and has been lauded for its ease of use.

2023 GMC Yukon: Interior Design and Technology

Irrespective of the trim you choose, the 2023 Yukon’s interior refinement, state-of-the-art technologies, and welcoming features afford you an exhilarating driving experience. The standard 8-inch GMC Infotainment System is your portal to an array of available apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s also where you’ll find the standard GMC Navigation system. This system offers turn-by-turn directions, traffic updates, and real- time weather information.

The available head-up display projects key information onto the windshield so you can easily keep your eyes on the road. Another available feature is the Rear-Seat Media System, which comes with two 12.6-inch diagonal color touch screens, Blu-ray/DVD player, remote control, and Bluetooth headphones. This system is perfect for keeping your backseat passengers entertained on long road trips. 

When it comes to seating, the 2023 GMC Yukon can accommodate up to nine passengers. The first and second rows offer plenty of headroom and legroom, while the third row best suits children or adults on shorter trips.

2023 GMC Yukon: Safety and Driver-Assistive Features

The 2023 GMC Yukon comes standard with a host of safety and driver-assistive features designed to help you stay safe on the road. These include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, parking sensors, and front pedestrian braking. These features work together to help you avoid or mitigate the severity of a collision. Other standard safety features include child seat anchors and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Available safety features include reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a head-up display, a surround-view parking camera, rear pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. This suite of driver-assistance features works together to help you avoid accidents by keeping you aware of your surroundings and giving you a more comfortable driving experience.

If you opt for the available GMC Connected Access with OnStar, you’ll also have access to a wide range of safety and security features, including emergency roadside assistance, remote vehicle start, and stolen vehicle assistance. This system uses GPS technology to help authorities locate your vehicle if it’s stolen. It can also automatically call for help in the event of an accident.
