Car Buying FAQs at Shaheen Chevrolet
If you have questions on buying or leasing a vehicle, we have answers. Here at Shaheen Chevrolet, we're able to discuss all your options and help you through the process so getting behind the wheel of a new or pre-owned vehicle is smooth and streamlined, as you're equipped with the knowledge to find the right vehicle for you confidently.
A lessee has a few options after making the final payment to satisfy the car lease terms, which, for most drivers who lease, is 36 months.
- Return the Car: You can return your leased car after making the last payment and settling any related fees. You are no longer responsible for — and cannot use — the vehicle when the lease terminates.
- Buy the Leased Car: Some lessees buy the vehicle when their lease ends. You can pay with cash or finance the purchase with an auto loan. Look for the “residual value” in the lease paperwork to know the pre-determined sale price.
- Lease Another Car: Leasing is an attractive option for many people, and picking out another vehicle to lease is common for those who enjoy getting a new car every few years.
- Extend Your Lease: If you can’t immediately find the right car to replace the one with the expiring lease, there are extension options we may be willing to discuss with you on a case-by-case basis.
Each new Chevrolet purchase or lease comes standard with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
You'll also find 5 years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance and courtesy transportation.
When you purchase a Chevy Certified Pre-Owned (CPO or CarBravo) vehicle, the warranty includes a 6-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, along with other benefits like roadside assistance, scheduled maintenance, and a 172 multi-point inspection.
Absolutely! First, schedule an appointment with one of our friendly salespeople and bring your driver's license and a copy of your insurance card.
Yes. Our process includes total transparency to you, the buyer, when it comes to vehicle history, maintenance and all reporting.
MSRP stands for ‘Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price’, and it's the price that we recommend a vehicle be sold for, based on current market value. This price is displayed on a window sticker and all vehicles on the website.
Besides the vehicle's sticker price, fees like sales tax, title, and registration are not included in the final sale price of a vehicle.
Chevrolet offers updated lease deals each month and financing incentives on new and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. At times, Shaheen Chevrolet also provides incentives on various vehicles, which is why you should contact us to learn about the latest monthly lease specials here at the dealership.
The GM employee discount, part of the GM Family First program, is available to active and retired GM and GM Financial employees, former employees with specific service durations, and their sponsored family members.
You can see if you pre-qualify for a vehicle by using our online finance application. This doesn't impact your credit score and allows you to save time with Shaheen Chevrolet, as it's easy to fill in and complete.
To calculate your potential car payment before buying, use our free online payment calculator. All you need to do is input the car price, down payment, loan term, and estimated interest rate to get a monthly payment estimate and find out if you can afford the vehicle.

- Leasing: This is a great choice for shoppers who like to drive a new vehicle and want to keep their payments low. Once your lease term is up, you can trade up for a newer model, buy it outright, or simply return it and walk away when the lease ends.
- Buying or Financing: Customers who intend to hold onto their vehicle for a while should consider a loan. Our flexible financing plans can get you into a new or used vehicle with terms that will reduce your overall costs while you build equity in your vehicle.
We’ve worked with countless customers with all kinds of credit to help them discover their financing options. We’ll work hard to get you approved! To begin, start the credit application today. It’s confidential and won’t affect your credit.
We work with you to craft the deal for your budget. Most loan terms will fall between 24 and 72 months, with longer financing terms resulting in lower payments. Mileage limits typically range from 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year.
Yes, you can return your leased car before the end of the lease term. However, you'll likely face an early termination fee and potentially have to pay the remaining lease payments, so it's important to review your lease agreement and consider the costs involved.
While a manufacturer’s warranty can protect you against certain breakdowns, true peace of mind comes from knowing you’re covered beyond the warranty period. That's why we offer many vehicle protection products, such as Zurich Shield protection plans, which are designed to protect you from paying for costly repairs, alleviate stress, and keep you and your vehicle on the road.
