Whether you’re looking for an affordable everyday family ride or an off-road-ready SUV for weekend trips across Arkansas, a used Chevrolet can fit the bill. From a wide range of available models to multiple benefits, here are the reasons to explore the used Chevy inventory at our Fort Smith dealership.

5 Reasons a Used Chevrolet Could Be the Best Vehicle You Ever Own

1. Better Value for Money

Pre-owned models often cost a fraction of the price of a new Chevrolet, and at our dealership, you can find a wide range of budget-friendly low-mileage options, including current-generation vehicles.

Not only are pre-owned Chevrolet vehicles cheaper, but they depreciate less than new models. Depending on the model and year, your pre-owned Chevy could even gain value, meaning you’re getting more for your money.

2. Lower Insurance Rates

Beyond a lower upfront cost, owning a used Chevy often means paying cheaper insurance. That’s because used vehicles don’t require gap insurance to cover for depreciation. Generally, used Chevys are also more affordable to repair than new ones, which is another factor that can reduce the insurance rate.

3. Wide Selection of Models

When buying a new Chevy, you’re limited to the current year’s lineup and some models from the previous year. However, when purchasing a used Chevy, you can pick from a wider selection of models, including discontinued options. For instance, the automaker discontinued the popular Chevrolet Sonic in 2020, but families seeking a subcompact car can opt for a used 2020 Sonic.

Buyers can also find current-generation and even current-year low-mileage options at a fraction of the price, meaning you could drive home in a near-new Chevy without breaking the bank.

4. Premium Features at Lower Prices

Another advantage of buying a used Chevy is that most vehicles have been customized with premium features by their original owners, meaning you can enjoy improved performance or enhanced comfort without having to pay for these features yourself. If you want to upgrade a used Chevy, original parts and accessories are often cheaper for previous model years, so you could still save while customizing the ride of your dreams.

5. Reliable Performance

Chevrolet vehicles are built to last, boasting an average lifespan of up to 300,000 miles when properly maintained. Purchasing a low-mileage pre-owned Chevy means investing in a dependable vehicle that will serve you for the years to come.
