Schedule A Test Drive


What is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

The key factor when buying certified pre-owned is that you’ll have peace of mind. Because CPO Chevy models are backed by a number of additional benefits, you can rest easy knowing that your drive will be safe and secure. They are also less expensive than a brand new car, and you receive many of the same benefits as you would if you bought new. All Chevy CPO models must meet the following requirements:

  • Be within current six models years
  • Be within a maximum of 75,000 vehicle miles
  • Have a clean title and pass a vehicle history report

Additional Chevy CPO benefits include:

Chevy Used Cars

What is a Used Vehicle?

Used vehicles are not backed up by a warranty, so you take more of a gamble on their reliability. They can be, however, significantly less expensive than a CPO model. We recommend that you have the vehicle fully inspected before you sign. Then you can enjoy your new-to-you car, truck, or SUV and the satisfaction of knowing how much money you saved. Browse through our expansive used vehicle inventory to get started.
