XM Radio – More Choices – Fewer Commercials

Do you have XM Radio? You should for many reasons, especially if you spend plenty of “commuter time” behind the wheel. Imagine digital quality sound; over 170 Channels with every genre of music, new, talk radio, sports and more…If you were to jump in your car and drive from L.A. to New York, you could listen to all of your favorite music and never hear the same song twice! On almost every new 2008 Chevrolet car or truck is equipped with XM Satellite Radio and you get 3 months of XM Satellite Radio service included with your purchase. Be sure to ask about it at Singh Chevrolet.

MPG’s: Easy as 1,2,3!

With gas prices nearing $4.00 a gallon, the sticker shock at the pump has sent many car buyers asking “what MPG’s does this vehicle get?” Chevrolet currently offers no less than seven models that get at least 30 MPG on the highway. If you require a little more interior space, but still crave the fuel economy then the Tahoe Hybrid may be for you. The 2008 Chevy Tahoe hybrid gets better gas mileage than a Toyota Camry! And if that was not enough, Chevy stands behind all of their vehicles with a 5 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Further dispelling the myth that reliability and fuel economy can only be achieved with certain vehicle manufacturers. To view our entire inventory of vehicles in stock, including our hybrids visit our website.

The GM Commitment

General Motors stands behind its vehicles. For five years or one hundred thousand miles you can rest assured that whether you need fuel delivered to your vehicle, your doors unlocked, a flat tire changed, or your vehicle towed to a dealership the service is available 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The extended power train coverage also protects you in the event of problems with major components, such as the engine, transmission, transfer case, and axles. And if that wasn’t enough, whenever warranty repairs are required, transportation will be offered. With all of these awesome services included with the purchase of a new Chevy Car, Chevy Truck, and Chevy SUV, it’s no wonder why Chevy is still the heartbeat of America!

The Whole Picture

The cost of owning a vehicle goes beyond the purchase price. Expenses like insurance and maintenance can add up.

To attain absolute rock bottom ownership costs,which still tally more than $30,000 over five years, even for a $10,000 car, a vehicle must be spartan. It must be small and lightweight to maximize fuel economy. And it should skimp on features, so that maintenance and repair costs stay low.

But most of all, it must start life with a sticker price well below even the most affordable luxury cars. A low purchase price holds down insurance premiums, taxes and fees, financing costs, and, especially, depreciation.You must calculate five-year ownership expenses by estimating cumulative losses from depreciation, interest and opportunity costs, maintenance and repairs, taxes and fees, fuel, and insurance. Some vehicles are relatively inexpensive, but their value is rising in the current economy, especially as gasoline prices climb. Autodata, which tracks sales for the auto industry, reports that overall vehicle sales dropped 8 percent in the first quarter of 2008. But the small-car segment actually grew by 3 percent during that down period. If small-car demand continues to grow, ownership costs could decrease even more: Higher prices for economical used cars will keep new-vehicle depreciation in check.

A good resale value is critical to total ownership cost because depreciation is the greatest single part of the total. Cars with lower depreciation rates (higher resale values) will require lower total ownership expenses than peers in the same price group or model segment. “Depreciation is the one cost that most people forget about,” says John Paul, manager of public affairs for AAA of Southern New England. “They look at all the other costs, but they forget how much a car is going to depreciate, even over the first year.” Models with attractive low depreciation rates exist in all vehicle categories. But if being frugal takes priority above all other automotive concerns, consider one of the 7 vehicles that Chevy offers.Chevy offers seven models with an EPA estimated 30 MPG highway or better. Which in turn gives you “fuel efficiency with a choice.”
