Staff Spotlight: This Cat Loves to Fish

Salesperson Cat Langbehn at Phillips Buick GMC

Cat Langbehn loves cars. She took her first job in sales in 1977 because her demo was going to be a new Corvette. She was hooked. Forty years later… she still loves cars and it shows.

As a valued member of the Phillips sales team, her goal is to have customers walk away with an experience that they don’t always expect. When you’re working with Cat to find your next vehicle, you get a feeling that she really enjoys helping people.

"Everyone should feel comfortable buying a car," says Cat. "At Phillips Buick GMC, I get to take my time, listen, and help my customers find the perfect vehicle to meet their needs."

Being a family-owned dealership really makes a difference too. It’s a family atmosphere where people feel relaxed because so many sales people and the managers have been here ten, twenty, thirty and even forty years. Even first-time car buyers or people that have never bought at a dealership before because of credit issues have found success working with Cat.

At Phillips, we sell thousands of vehicles and we also buy vehicles from all over. We have so many customers that come back and see us so we know the history on our used cars. With that type of selection, combined with a lot of lenders, this means there are lots of financing alternatives for customers.

One of Cat’s favorite vehicles on the showroom floor right now is the new 2021 Buick Envision. When you compare it to luxury models, it stands out in the quality and fit and finish. Standard on all Envisions are Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, IntelliBeam Auto High Beams, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist and of course Buick’s QuietRide suspension.

Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? Got it. Amazon Alexa? Got it. Plus, five-star safety, luxury and technology. It comes with more equipment and has a lower price point than comparable vehicles. The technology and robust interior is unsurpassed in quality.

Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, Cat moved to Florida and raised her three sons here. She has two sons in the military, serving in both the Air Force and the Navy, and her youngest son is a recent graduate of the University of South Florida and is now a boat captain in the Tampa Bay area.

Cat’s love for the water is evident when you meet her. When she isn’t helping someone find their next ride, you’ll find her on Crystal River with a rod and reel in hand doing what she enjoys for relaxation… salt water fishing.

Stop by Phillips Buick GMC and trade stories about your latest catch on the water and find out why the personal service Cat provides all her customers keeps them coming back and referring their friends and family to her.

The 2027 Buick Enclave has a huge 30" screen, Google Gemini, and available Super Cruise. Your whole crew will love riding in it. Want the best deal? Offers change often, and popular trims don't sit around for long. Your trade-in, your loan terms, and current incentives all shape what you'll pay. Come see us at Phillips Buick GMC Truck in Fruitland Park, FL. We'll go over your numbers with zero pressure and get you on a test drive. Is Now the Right Time to Get Into a 2027 Buick Enclave? If you've had your eye on a new three-row SUV, this is the moment to act. The 2027 Buick Enclave comes in three trims, and shopping early gives you more colors and configurations to pick from. Wait a few months, and that picture can look very different. It happens more than you'd think. A shopper spots the SUV they want, holds off, and comes back to find it gone. We'd like to help you skip that part. What Makes the 2027 Buick Enclave So Easy to Love? Start with the screen. Buick fits the Enclave with an ultrawide 30" diagonal display, the largest in its class. It sweeps across the dash and puts navigation, media, and vehicle settings right where you can reach them. Here's more of what you get: Google built-in with Google Gemini on that 30" screen Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads QuietTuning with Active Noise Cancellation to keep road noise down on long trips up US-441 A turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder with 328 horsepower on every trim Up to 5,000 lbs. of towing with the standard Trailering Package Buick rates the FWD model at 20 city/25 highway/22 combined MPG and the AWD model at 20 1city/24 highway/21 combined MPG. Inside, you'll find seats for up to 7, available one-touch flat-folding second-row seats, a 60/40 split-folding third row, a floating center console, and multicolor ambient lighting. Preferred and Sport Touring both come with a heated steering wheel, which you'll appreciate on the few chilly mornings we get here in Central Florida. Buick also earned the #1 Most Dependable Mass Market Brand ranking from J.D. Power for the second year in a row. Which 2027 Buick Enclave Trim Is Right for You? The lineup keeps things simple with three choices. Preferred gets you heated front seats, leatherette upholstery, signature LED daytime running lamps, new 20" alloy wheels, and a Bose Premium 12-speaker audio system. It's a well-equipped family hauler right out of the gate. Sport Touring adds heated perforated leatherette seats, a high-gloss black grille with ST badging, High-Gloss Black machined alloy wheels, and a flat-bottom heated steering wheel you'll only find on this trim. Avenir is the top pick for comfort. You get heated and ventilated massaging front seats with quilted, perforated leather-appointed materials, heated second-row outboard seats, new Twilight Ash accents, an exclusive grille, new 22" wheels, and a Bose Performance 16-speaker system. Avenir also brings HD Surround Vision with Surround Vision Recorder, Cabin Glance, and Security Recording. How Does the 2027 Buick Enclave Help Keep Your Family Safe? Buick lists a solid set of driver assistance tech for the 2027 Enclave, including: Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking Blind Zone Steering Assist Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking Rear Cross Traffic Braking Side Bicyclist Alert These features come in handy in busy parking lots and at crowded intersections around Lake County. Why Does Timing Matter When You Shop for a 2027 Buick Enclave? A few things can shift your deal from one month to the next. Manufacturer incentives change frequently. An offer you see today may be replaced or gone soon after. Model-year turnover also plays a part, since dealers and automakers adjust programs as new stock arrives and older stock clears out. Then there's demand. Three-row SUVs are popular in our area, and the most-requested trims and colors tend to move fast. When the exact Enclave you want is sitting on our lot, that's your best shot at getting it on your terms. What Does "Securing the Best Price" Really Mean? Your real savings come from how several parts of your deal fit together: Your trade-in value. You can check it with the KBB Instant Cash Offer on our website before you visit. A strong trade-in can make a big dent in what you owe. Your financing terms. We help buyers finance through GM Financial, and your rate and term will shape your monthly payment. Current offers. Buick runs programs that shift over time, and some apply only to certain buyers. Since every one of these depends on you, your credit, your current vehicle, and your timing, we don't think a single published number helps anyone. Your neighbor's 2027 Buick Enclave price might look nothing like yours. That's why we ask you to reach out for a quote built around your situation. Why Buy Your 2027 Buick Enclave From Phillips Buick GMC Truck? We've been family owned and operated since 1978, right here on US-441 in Fruitland Park, FL.
