Your Walser specialist walks you through both options with one upfront price, so you can choose what fits your budget and how you drive.
Best if you like lower monthly payments and a new vehicle every few years.
Best if you plan to keep your vehicle for the long haul.
A secure credit application in a few minutes.
We shop our lenders and current specials for you.
Choose the plans that fit how you drive.
One specialist handles it all, with no hand-offs.
Apply online before you visit or in person at the store. Your customer specialist sends your application to our lending partners, which cover a wide range of credit profiles, and brings back the rate and term options available to you. Rates are negotiation-free, so the rate you see is the rate you get.
Often, yes. Our lenders cover many different credit situations. Approval and rate depend on the lender's review of your credit, income, the vehicle and the amount financed.
Your customer specialist walks you through the full structure before you sign: sale price, sales tax, accessories, cash down, trade allowance and payoff, and license, registration and fees. That adds up to the amount financed. You'll then see payment options at different terms side by side.
Leasing fits if you want lower monthly payments and a new vehicle every few years. Financing is better if you plan to keep your vehicle long term and build equity.
You may not need to put any money down. Qualified buyers can drive home with $0 down. If you'd like a lower monthly payment, putting money down helps, and your customer specialist can show you your payment both ways.
GM sometimes offers 0% APR on select models, and Walser runs its own specials too. See our current lease and finance specials for the latest offers.
Ask your customer specialist to show you the prepayment terms in your contract before you sign. If you pay off or refinance early, optional protection bought with the loan, like GAP, end and you may be owed a partial refund.
Eligible Walser purchases include a powertrain warranty that picks up where the factory powertrain warranty ends. Add WalserCare Plus to cover nearly everything else out to 8 years or 100,000 miles.
All protection on this page is optional. Buying protection is never required to get credit, a particular rate, or to buy or lease a vehicle. Prices depend on your vehicle, term and coverage.

Included at no extra cost on eligible vehicles purchased from Walser. Age and mileage limits apply.*
The internal parts of the engine, the transmission, and the front and rear drive axles, including seals, gaskets, and the taxes and fluids needed for a covered repair. Parts outside those assemblies, such as the radiator, ignition, computers and most electronics, are not covered.
8 years from your purchase date or 100,000 miles on the odometer, whichever comes first.
To Walser Buick GMC. If you break down more than 40 miles from Walser Buick GMC, call 1-855-908-6161 first. Repairs must be authorized before work begins.
No. It belongs to you and your vehicle and can't be transferred or canceled.
Pays for covered repairs after your factory warranty ends.
For vehicles still under factory warranty. Covers any breakdown except listed exclusions, with terms up to 8 years / 100,000 miles.
For pre-owned vehicles. Powertrain coverage, or powertrain plus steering, suspension, brakes, electrical and A/C.
WalserCare Plus is for vehicles that still have factory warranty. It covers any breakdown except the items specifically listed as not covered, and works alongside the Walser powertrain warranty so together they cover nearly every mechanical and electrical part.
Essentials is a powertrain plan for pre-owned vehicles. Essentials Plus adds steering, suspension, brakes, electrical and air conditioning.
WalserCare Plus options include 6 years / 75,000 miles and 8 years / 100,000 miles, measured from zero on the odometer. Essentials and Essentials Plus terms are measured in additional miles from your odometer reading on the day you buy.
Routine maintenance and wear items such as brake pads and rotors, tires, batteries, filters, wiper blades, spark plugs and most belts and hoses; glass, paint, body panels and trim; aftermarket equipment; and damage from collisions, weather, flooding, rust, missed maintenance, misuse or modifications. The full list is in your contract.
Yes. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual and keep receipts showing the date, mileage and work done. A breakdown caused by missed maintenance can be denied.
Coverage options and pricing are based on your vehicle's age and mileage, so the price generally rises and available terms get shorter as the vehicle ages. Buying at purchase also lets you include it in your financing. You can cancel for a full refund within 60 days if you haven't made a claim.
For new and pre-owned vehicles. Vehicles lose value fastest in the first few years, so you can owe more than the vehicle is worth.
If your vehicle is stolen or declared a total loss, insurance pays what the vehicle is worth at that moment, which can be less than you still owe. GAP covers that difference so you aren't left paying off a vehicle you no longer have.
Past-due payments, late fees, amounts added to the loan after you signed, or your lost down payment or trade equity. It also doesn't apply to losses during repossession, from racing, outside the U.S. and Canada, or from damage that isn't a total loss. GAP is not insurance and doesn't replace collision, comprehensive or liability coverage.
Compare them side by side. Ask your insurer how their GAP is priced and whether it ends or changes when your policy renews. Walser's GAP is a one-time charge for the life of your loan and stays with your loan even if you change insurance companies.
GAP ends and you're entitled to a refund: full within 30 days, pro-rated after that, with no cancellation fee. Send written notice within 90 days of the payoff or refinance.
Tire, wheel, dent and key protection. Minnesota potholes are hard on tires and wheels, and this covers road-hazard damage from potholes, nails, glass and debris.
Tire replacement up to $500 per tire ($2,000 total) and wheel replacement up to $1,000 per wheel ($4,000 total).
A technician pushes small dents back into shape from behind the panel without repainting. It covers dents and door dings up to 4 inches across on painted metal side panels. It doesn't cover the hood, roof or trunk, chipped or scratched paint, hail, or dents too deep for the process.
Yes. If your key or fob is lost, stolen or damaged, it pays to repair or replace and program it, up to $800 per occurrence, once every 12 months. Dead fob batteries and normal wear aren't covered.
Tires worn to 3/32 of an inch or less, curb strikes, off-road driving, improper inflation or overloading, collision damage that also hit the suspension or body, and repairs done without authorization.
Road salt, brine and sun take a toll. Applied to your vehicle and backed by a limited warranty from Walser Autoguard.
Weather-related fading, chalking and loss of gloss, acid rain, bird droppings and tree sap on factory paint. It doesn't cover chips, scratches, peeling or collision damage.
Stains from food, drinks, dyes and bleach; sun fading; mold and mildew; and rips or tears under 6 inches and punctures or burns under 1 inch on treated fabric, carpet, leather and vinyl.
Salt and brine work into seams and inside door panels, where rust usually starts. Corrosion perforation coverage pays to repair a hole that rusts through a treated body panel from the inside, up to $10,000 over the warranty term.
A clear protective film on the areas that take the most abuse. It protects against chips and pitting from road debris, scratches, and staining from salt, bird droppings, sap and bugs for 5 years, with repairs up to $3,500 over the term.
No. The warranty comes with the protection applied to your vehicle, so it isn't cancelable. The next owner can apply to transfer remaining coverage within 90 days of buying the vehicle for a $50 fee.
Lock in today's price on maintenance, and avoid surprise charges at lease turn-in.
An oil and filter change, a tire rotation, and a multi-point inspection of lights, wipers, tire pressure, brakes, belts, hoses, exhaust and fluid levels, with fluids topped off as needed. Services don't expire while you own the vehicle.
It covers excess wear-and-tear charges on your turn-in inspection, such as dents, scratches, worn tires, chipped glass and interior damage, up to $5,000 total and $1,000 per item. It doesn't cover excess mileage or disposition fees, and can only be purchased when you sign your lease.
A mechanical contract for leased vehicles that covers any breakdown except listed exclusions, and adds one set of brake pads, one battery, bulbs and fuses, belts and hoses, one set of wiper blades and one wheel alignment during the term.
No. All protection on this page is optional. Buying protection is never a condition of getting credit, getting a particular rate, or buying or leasing a vehicle. Each contract states this in writing.
Yes. Most can be included in your financing so the cost is spread across your monthly payment, or you can pay separately. Ask to see your payment with and without protection.
