The benefits of buying a Chevy pre-owned vehicle
Many buyers looking for an affordable sedan will weigh the pros and cons of purchasing a used or pre-owned vehicle. We highly recommend choosing a vehicle with GM’s Certified Pre-Owned badge. This not only guarantees the vehicle’s condition and quality upon your initial purchase, but includes a robust benefits package to cover you over the first few years of your ownership.
GM’s Certified Pre-Owned vehicles undergo a strict evaluation process. All vehicles with this badge must meet the following criteria:
- Less than six model years of age
- Have a maximum of 75,000 miles
- Pass a 172-point vehicle inspection and reconditioning process
- Complete all safety recalls
- Include a free CARFAX (or comparable) vehicle history report
- Clean title
Chevrolet CPO vehicles also include a robust benefits package that takes effect the minute you drive off the lot. This package includes two warranties: a 6-year or 100,000 mile (whichever comes first) powertrain limited warranty, as well as a 12-month, 12,000 mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty.
What’s more, when you buy a CPO vehicle, you automatically get two maintenance visits within two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. These visits can include oil and filter changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspection, and can easily take place at your local Bachrodt on State dealership.

Reasons to Buy a Pre-Owned Vehicle
There are plenty of reasons to purchase a pre-owned vehicle. Buying a used car can save you money in several ways. First, the initial cost of a used vehicle is typically lower than that of a brand-new one. This means you may be able to afford a higher trim level or model that would have been out of your budget if buying new. This is a great way to get modern car features at a lower price.
Additionally, used cars often have lower insurance and registration costs. Since the value of a used car is typically lower than a new one, the insurance premiums are usually lower as well. Another way buying a used car can save you money is through depreciation.
New cars lose a significant amount of their value within the first few years of ownership, while used cars have already experienced this initial drop in value. This means you may be able to sell the used car for a similar price to what you paid for it, making it a more financially sound investment in the long run.
