Certified Pre-Owned Chevys and GMCs Offer Tons of Buyer Perks

As a used car buyer, you have a lot of options. Sifting through them to find a high-quality vehicle at a price you can afford is a challenge, but it’s easy to overcome when you opt for a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are thoroughly inspected and vetted for quality. To qualify for certification, Chevrolet and GMC CPO models also must meet specific age and mileage requirements.

Will buyers benefit from choosing one nameplate over the other? Not really, since both automotive brands fall under the General Motors umbrella. That means you can choose the model that speaks to you and not worry about missing out on any benefits. Speaking of benefits, when you buy a GM Certified vehicle, you’ll get plenty of them, starting with extra factory warranty coverage.

Buying a vehicle from our CPO inventory means you’ll end up with a nearly new model with low mileage and minimal wear and tear. Not only that, but every CPO car we sell comes with a complimentary CARFAX Vehicle History Report, so you know key vehicle information, like the number of previous owners, accident history, and more.

SUVs and Crossovers

SUVs reign as America’s favorite vehicle body style. Whether it’s a subcompact crossover priced for first-time buyers, or a massive “land yacht” 8-passenger beast primed to tow, haul, and move people, buyers can’t get enough of the utility vehicle. Chevy and GMC offer multiple models in different sizes and price categories, so buyers don’t have to look far to find the one they want.

Commuters might like the subcompact Trax or the GMC Terrain. Both models keep your price well under $30,000 yet still offer tons of in-demand features for your comfort and safety. As an added bonus, these smaller crossovers are incredibly fuel-efficient, making them ideal for commuters. Newer CPO models contain tons of infotainment features, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

If you’re looking for something a little bigger, consider the Chevy Traverse. It offers three rows of seats without all the bulk of a large SUV while also possessing an elegant exterior curb profile. The Traverse works for families wanting slightly smaller dimensions and an upscale cabin with luxury finishes, including leather seating, premium audio, and tons of driver-assist safety and convenience systems.

At the top of the category sit the GMC Yukon, the Chevy Tahoe, and the Chevy Suburban. All three, affectionately known as land yachts, offer category-leading horsepower, cavernous interior space for passengers and cargo, and even off-road-ready suspensions for adventure-seeking families. Deciding which one works best for you is largely a matter of preference, but all three deliver big on spaciousness and power.

Pickup Trucks

When it comes to pickup truck capability and toughness, nothing beats the bowtie brand. Actually, nothing beats GMC, either. The fact is, you can’t go wrong with either brand! The Chevy Silverado is a category favorite for its dependability and mass-market appeal. Chevy makes trims for every conceivable buyer, from fleet managers to families. The GMC lineup includes tons of high-end luxury features not commonly found on a pickup truck.

Looking at the midsize category, it’s clear that the Chevy Colorado and the GMC Canyon share similar architecture, but they offer slightly different exterior design features. The Canyon boasts a boxy, almost vertical grille with a two-tone bumper and high, curved fender flares. The Colorado instead favors a more understated front end. Also, budget buyers will appreciate the affordable WT entry-level Colorado trim.

When only the most rugged truck will do, consider a heavy-duty Silverado 2500 or 3500, or a GMC 2500HD or 3500HD. These trucks are primed to do tough jobs and make them look easy. With massive diesel powertrains and equally powerful gas-powered engines, you’ll be equipped with enough power for hauling gooseneck trailers and fifth wheels with ease. These are commercial-grade trucks, and they’re ready for tough jobs and hard daily use.

The pickup truck category continues attracting new buyers, even SUV-weary families looking to drive something different. With thousands of buyers every year, there’s always plenty of CPO pickup truck inventory to be found. If you’re buying a midsize, full-size, or an HD pickup, chances are you’ll have tons of trucks to choose from in just about every configuration.

Passenger Cars and Commuter Vehicles

The sedan and passenger car market continues to shrink, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find plenty of CPO cars at great prices. For starters, check out the tiny-but-mighty Chevy Spark hatchback. This little dynamo comes in a rainbow of fun colors and offers cute styling that’s geared towards young, first-time buyers. You’ll even find smartphone connectivity and over 27 cubic feet of cargo capacity inside.

If you need something bigger, consider the popular Malibu sedan. It’s a commuter’s dream, offering highway fuel economy ratings in the mid-30 MPG range, and an incredibly low starting price for base model versions. Newer Malibu models contain tons of driver-assist safety systems, including Forward Collision Alert, a system that warns you when it senses you’re heading for a crash.

Though GMC doesn’t offer a passenger car, the compact GMC Terrain could still double as a sedan in the fuel economy category. It reaches into the 30 MPG range on the highway, making it a solid choice for commuters, but its crossover body style means you’ll be sitting taller and having more of an SUV driving experience. That’s not a compromise diehard car seekers are willing to make, which means opting for the Malibu or the Spark is your best bet.

Car and Driver gave the 2019 Chevy Malibu a solid 8/10 rating, calling it “beautiful and athletic.” Newer Malibu model years offer a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain and an upscale interior that defies its low starting price. In addition, the Malibu received a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Some might argue that the sedan’s best years are behind it, but Malibu owners are too busy loving what they drive to notice.

Buy CPO and Save Big

When you choose a CPO Chevy or GMC, you’re making a responsible financial decision. First, you’re shaving off the pain of the initial depreciation that always comes in the first few months of new vehicle ownership. Since the original buyer took that financial hit, you’re left enjoying a very gently used vehicle with factory warranty coverage and the peace of mind of knowing you got a great deal.

CPO Chevys and GMCs come with a 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, and best of all, you’ll get a 3-Day/150-Mile exchange policy, so if for any reason you don’t love your CPO vehicle, simply return it and pick out a different one–no questions asked. CPO buyers also receive two years of free scheduled maintenance (ask us for more details).

In addition to all the practical benefits of CPO ownership, you’ll also receive some fun perks, including a SiriusXM trial subscription, an OnStar trial, and free roadside assistance. Best of all, because your vehicle had to undergo a 172-point inspection, you’re driving home behind the wheel of a like-new vehicle in excellent operational condition. You can’t put a price on peace of mind!
