Used cars are often seen in a bad light because many people still associate the word "used" with a car that is tattered, dirty, and run-down. Historically speaking, there have been some cars that have been sold used and abused (certainly not at our dealership), but that is not the norm for most used vehicles. However, we understand the hesitation that some people might have when buying used, which is why we pride ourselves on being a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet dealer, offering you an option to buy used with some level of guarantees.

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are put through a very detailed screening process to ensure that they are the best of the best. When you think Certified Pre-Owned, think “good as new” without the price tag of new. Now that we’ve hopefully eased your mind when it comes to confidence in shopping for a CPO, we’d like to share with you our selection of the top four Chevy’s to buy Certified Pre-Owned. We want to make sure that there's something for everyone in our selection, so we will be covering a few of Chevy’s most dynamic vehicles. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what you see, or maybe you think just like we do. Keep reading to find out!

Silverado

First up is the Chevy Silverado. It goes without saying that the Silverado is one of the best vehicles you will find anywhere. As one of the most consistently and constantly evolving vehicles, any model you purchase will be sure to provide fine engineering, capabilities, and technology. Specifically, we suggest the 2020 Silverado HD. Labeled “All-New” at its debut, this model is sure to continue to wow drivers!

The 2020 Silverado HD took the brilliance of the Silverado and increased its towing capabilities. In order to pave the way for this, the vehicle increased its size all around–length, width, and height. Add to that chassis, suspension, and propulsion enhancements, and you’ve got yourself a towing machine able to handle up to 43,500 pounds under the right conditions. Anyone who knows anything about towing will concur that you don’t see numbers like that every day. New and innovative trailering technologies aid drivers in towing this extra weight, including fifteen available camera views (including transparent trailer). So, towing will not only be heavier duty than ever before but will also be easier than ever before.

Spark

The Chevy Spark is a fun and efficient small car with functionality at the forefront. This two-door cruiser, which provides a surprisingly comfortable interior for its four passengers, has one of the finest fuel-efficiency ratings you will find on any vehicle. Because it is designed with practicality at the forefront as opposed to some of Chevy’s performance or work-oriented vehicles, you are very likely to have an easy time finding a pre-owned Spark that is well-kept and not overused. With the lowest MSRP Chevy has to offer, a pre-owned Spark will have you paying the kind of prices you only thought you’d see in your dreams.

Money aside, this is a fun car to drive for any young and single people who need a way to get around and have some fun doing it. It is perfectly equipped for daily commutes to and from work, social outings, and the occasional road trip. Though it is small, Chevy’s fantastic safety features keep the Spark well-armed against any potentially dangerous situations. So, if you’re looking for an affordable and practical Certified Pre-Owned vehicle that won’t be a hassle, then the Spark just may be the way to go.

Suburban

While the Spark is our choice for the best Certified Pre-Owned small car, our next choice is not so small. Actually, it’s about as big as they come. We are speaking, of course, of the Suburban. This top-rated SUV, which has the distinct honor of being Chevy’s longest-lasting nameplate, is one of the models that define an SUV in the modern automotive world. Just like the Silverado, it is one of the most sought-after vehicles in Chevy’s lineup, and so it is constantly evolving to better suit the needs of its drivers. Because of this, buying a Certified Pre-Owned Chevy ensures a high-quality product with a more agreeable price tag.

On all fronts - performance, design, technology, and safety - the Suburban is a leader for all its SUV counterparts. The 2020 Suburban seats up to nine people and offers up to 121.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity, making it fit to load up all of your people and belongings and hit the road. With up to 420 horsepower depending on the engine you get, you certainly will be hitting the road with plenty of power Suburbans are highly durable vehicles. So, anyone looking to buy a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle would be wise to consider the Suburban because if ever a vehicle was built to last and perform at its highest level through more than one owner, it is the Suburban.

Corvette

With one of the most instantly-recognizable names in automotive history, the Corvette continues to make a name for itself with each new innovation. For many, buying a new Corvette seems too impractical to be worth it. Well, have you considered buying it Certified Pre-Owned?

The Corvette is the kind of vehicle that you want to take care of, a vehicle that makes the owner want to preserve its excellence. Because of this, a CPO Corvette is likely to be very well taken care of and may even be broken in a little bit. With a vehicle like the Corvette, buying a model that is several years old will certainly not leave you deprived of excellent performance features but may, in fact, provide a more economical way for you to obtain a leisure vehicle that you may not be able to buy new. The 2015 Corvette Z06, for example, offers 650 horsepower and 650 pounds-feet of torque by way of its 6.2-liter V8 engine. Those remain unbeatable performance numbers today.

For those of you who are intrigued by this prospect and think you may want to tear up the road in a CPO Corvette, then you may be excited to learn that the 2015 Corvette Z06 also offers what was, at the time, an industry-first feature: Performance Data Recorder (PDR). This technology is able to record HD video, with telemetry overlays, of your very own driving. So, if you want to increase your driving athleticism, the Corvette will provide you with the tools you need to track your own progress.

A Durable Legacy

Chevy is a fantastic brand to buy Certified Pre-Owned, period. No matter what vehicle or model you may be looking at, if it is a Chevy, you are in good hands. The brand is dedicated to serving its drivers by way of its ever-evolving engineering, ever-progressing technology, and ever-increasing vehicle development. Buying Certified Pre-Owned does not mean buying old. In fact, buying any CPO Chevrolet model guarantees you a quality product from within the last six model years that is sure to exceed that of most other brands.

Chevy is quick to adapt and update its technology, so models from just a few years ago will have many of the exciting features that are only just beginning to become standard. Chevy is not just ahead of the game; they are also long-lasting. Your vehicle isn’t meant to be thrown out after just a few years of use. You want a vehicle that will last until you decide it’s time for a new one. Whether you choose to buy one of the vehicles we’ve selected here or another Chevy, we are confident that you will find it to provide you with a fine driving experience for years to come. If you think you’re ready, we’ll help you make it happen!
