We know the age-old car-buying myths that everyone’s heard of, passed on to their friends and family, and even some that have kept people from upgrading into a brand new vehicle. This week we have five of those most common myths that people believe and why they’re only myths when you shop with the team right here at Flemington BMW! We encourage you to take some time going over those details below, schedule an appointment, and browse our online inventory. The holiday season is just around the corner and there’s no better time to slip behind the wheel of a brand new BMW than right here, right now at Flemington BMW! 

The internet is the best place for a great deal 

• Buying a new vehicle online isn’t always your best option. The lease or finance rate, trade-in price, and other factors play into getting the best deal on a new vehicle. We encourage you to stop in and visit with our finance team for the best possible deal on a brand new vehicle! 

Paying with cash will get you the best price 

• Paying for a new vehicle in cash isn’t always the best option. Choosing the right finance option for you is important and something our finance team can assist you with. 

Your own financing is better 

• Most customers think that bringing their own financing is best but when you choose to finance through the dealership, you’ll have access to various discounts whether it’s on the vehicle of your choosing or your interest rates. 

Waiting until the end of the month will get you a better deal 

• When you shop at our dealership, you’ll have access to great offers and incentives all month long. And on a variety of models, too. So there’s no reason to wait until the very end of the month to grab a great deal. Shop all month long and get a great price no matter what! 

Wait to mention your trade-in

• Absolutely not! We recommend bringing up your trade up front and be honest about what you’re looking to achieve when you trade in your vehicle with us. Being upfront with our team can save you time and money. So mention it upfront and let’s get you behind the wheel sooner rather than later! 

Goblins, ghouls, and witches, can you believe that this weekend is Halloween weekend? We sure can’t! Time is flying by and before you know it, winter will be here and snow will be on the ground. But first things first, it’s time to talk about how to stay safe this weekend when you’re out and about. Or perhaps you’re staying in this Halloween weekend. Either way, whatever your plans are, we have ways for you to stay festive, stay busy, and stay safe! And as always, if you’re ready to upgrade your vehicle this spooky season, we encourage you to stop in to see our team at Flemington BMW, and let’s get you behind the wheel! We look forward to assisting you in your vehicle search – see you soon! 

Virtual Costume Parties –

• Today’s age offers plenty of technology to a wide variety of audiences which means you can use them to your advantage this Halloween weekend! We recommend setting a time with friends and family that you all can join and enjoy the time together! And don’t forget to pass out the virtual candy! 

Make Masks A Costume Prop – 

• We know that it might be difficult to get your kiddos to wear those masks but if you make it part of their costume, you might have a winning way to stay safe this weekend. Some great options are surgeons, superheroes, or even evil characters! Be sure to double line with an approved mask! 

Spooky Movie Night 

• Things definitely look a lot different this year so maybe it’s time to switch up those traditions! Like having a spooky movie night instead of heading out to trick or treat! Of course, we recommend some fan-favorite age-appropriate movies like Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, or Hocus Pocus! Did we say that one twice?! 

Outdoor Community Events – 

• If your community is having a few outdoor events, we encourage you to attend but be safe and mindful of you and your family while in attendance. Be sure to pack your masks and extras in case. Hand sanitizer is also a must-have these days. Always choose events where physical distancing and one-way walkthroughs are enforced. As always, remind your children of potential dangers when out and about and to always be on alert.

Picking up poor driving habits is normal and easy. But breaking free of those bad habits can be tough. Especially if you’re not even aware of those habits. This week, we have your list of eight driving habits that need to be broken free and left in the dust. Spend some time checking out those details below and when you’re ready to upgrade into a brand new BMW, come see the team right here at Flemington BMW this October! We have a lot of great incentives and offers waiting for you! 

Failing to signal. 

• It’s important to let other drivers and pedestrians know your next move so they can slow down and accommodate. We recommend signaling at least 100 feet in advance.

Riding the brakes. 

• Riding your brakes can cause excess strain on your brakes. Keep your foot off the brake and only use when/ if necessary.

Rolling through stop signs. 

• We know this is a habit many struggle with but to ensure everyone’s safety, it’s important to come to a complete stop at any and every intersection you approach. 

Slowing down to look at crashes or construction. 

• Rubbernecking is not only dangerous, but can contribute to a chain reaction of slowed traffic and potential crashes. Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you to ensure you’re following road rules or police directions. 

Sudden stops. 

• Always be on alert and anticipate when you might need to stop. Sudden stops will create excess wear on brake pads.

Fast starts. 

• Accelerate at a slow smooth rate, peeling away uses excess gas, and may be putting a strain on the key components of your engine.

Running yellow or red lights. 

• Doing so can increase your chance of a car crash. If the light turns yellow before you reach the intersection, it’s best not to risk it and wait for the next green light.

Disregarding the speed limit. 

• While speed limits vary by state, and are typically posted, we recommend using the following ranges as a general guide if you don’t see a posted speed limit:

• Residential area: 15-30 mph
• Undivided road (rural): 40-55 mph
• Divided road (rural): 55-70 mph
• Freeway: 55-65 mph

If you’re like us, you’re gearing up for another season change here in Flemington! And this week we want to put your vehicle cleaning list to the top of your list to ensure a smooth transition into the new season! Below is a list of helpful ways to ensure your vehicle is getting what it needs so check it out and clean up your ride this September. Or if you’re ready to ditch your old ride completely and start fresh, come see our team this month and let us help you find a brand new BMW that fits your needs and budget. We hope to see you soon! 

Undercarriage Cleaning

• Many car owners always keep the visible parts of their vehicle clean and sparkly. But what about the undercarriage of your vehicle? While your vehicle’s undercarriage is always just inches off the ground, it’s important to clean up and get rid of any road-borne impurities that come in contact with your undercarriage. Especially with slush and road salt quickly approaching in the upcoming winter months. It’s important to clean it well, clean it often.

Exterior Protection

• This is a little easier but still a task that takes a bit of elbow grease to complete and complete right. Impurities that lie hidden in moisture can lead to slowly eating away at your paint job, no matter how good it is. It’s important to ensure your car is waxed periodically and put that protective barrier between your paint and the elements! 

Interior cleaning

• Everything you tread on outside of your vehicle, always makes its way inside your car at one point or another. While it may be difficult to get out the vacuum and get into all the nooks and crannies, it’s extremely important to do so. Apart from the feeling that comes from being in a clean interior, you don’t want to find yourself with upholstery damage because you neglected to clean your ride. Get out that vacuum and make it sparkle. And a pro tip, add a new air freshener to freshen up the interior smell of your vehicle!
