Chevy’s Pre-Owned Prowess

If you are looking for used cars near Dayton, Ohio, you have certainly found yourself in the right place. Now that’s not such an easy accomplishment, we know. With a seemingly endless amount of information available to us these days, who’s to say what’s right and wrong? What can be trusted, and what should be disregarded as biased? It’s a lot to wade through, and, ultimately, you need to be able to trust the car dealership, especially when you are looking for a used car.

With so many options out there and so many so-called Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programs offered by nearly everyone, how do you know when the dealer is actually looking after your best interests? Let’s start with this: here, all qualified vehicles undergo a rigorous 172-point inspection. Each inspection is performed by certified GM technicians, ensuring that everything meets the automaker’s rigorous requirements. If a vehicle does not pass, it will be repaired or replaced, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.

That’s great, we know. But what about the warranty? Other perks? We’ve got you covered—you can take a deep breath and relax, knowing we have your back there too. How about a Powertrain Limited warranty of 6 years or 100,000 miles? Maybe a Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty of 12 months or 12,000 miles? These are programs designed to show that we clearly stand behind our certified used cars—and then some.

Of course, the perks do not stop there. How about a scheduled maintenance program for added peace of mind? We stand behind our cars and have the programs to back that up. We even offer courtesy transportation for any scheduled maintenance, as well as 24/7 roadside assistance. And just when you thought we couldn’t do more, the program also includes a 3-month trial subscription to OnStar and SiriusXM Satellite Radio.  

So now that you know you are in the right place let’s get to the fun part: finding the right car for you. Again, looking for a new-to-you car should be fun. Perhaps you are looking for a sedan but aren’t sure about what generation you would like to target, or maybe you value fuel economy over performance, but in actuality, do not want to sacrifice performance or fuel economy. Well, let’s look at some of your options. Chevy cars are known for their dependability, versatility, and style, so narrowing your search might just be the hardest part.

Chevy Cruz

If you are looking for fuel efficiency, the Chevy Cruz is a good way to go. The first generation Cruz debuted in 2011 and included two four-cylinder engines: a 1.8-liter or a turbocharged 1.4-liter. On the eco-friendly 1.4-liter, you could expect 24/36 mpg when paired with the 6-speed manual gearbox. Surprised to find such incredible fuel efficiency in a used car? Well, it just keeps getting better. If you look to the second-generation Cruz, you will also find a 1.4-liter turbo-four rated at 153 hp and 177 lb-ft paired to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. It has improved fuel economy ratings of 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Whether you are looking for impressive fuel economy or serious torque and power, the Cruz delivers on both accounts. 

Chevy Sonic

Perhaps you are looking for your first car or have a growing family and need a second car. Look no further than the Chevy Sonic. Offering good fuel economy and an amazingly space-efficient interior, the Chevy Sonic delivers as a car where you don’t need to spend a lot to get a lot.

The Sonic debuted in 2012 as Chevy endeavored to reverse the perception of subcompact cars. And succeed, they did! Merging fuel efficiency with an energetic style, you have a fun, affordably priced vehicle, designed with the modern family in mind.

Chevy Impala

While the Sonic and Cruz are both great options, perhaps you need more room. That’s where the Chevy Impala comes in. This is a good large car, with plenty of passenger room and a large trunk that actually tops most SUVs in cargo space. If you are looking for a well-appointed sedan with a nice design and all-day comfort, the Chevy Impala should be on your list.

Great mileage is also a plus for the Chevy Impala. The most recent generation of the Impala was introduced in 2014 and featured a complete revamp of Chevy’s iconic four-door sedan. This is the car for you if you are looking for a reasonably priced sedan with a suite of technology at your fingertips, an abundance of space for your family, and the comfort of a luxury vehicle. This is the car designed for the family looking for a traditional large sedan with all the modern amenities.

Chevy Camaro

Well, speaking of iconic cars, let’s take a quick look at the Chevy Camaro, just in case you are in the market for a true sports car. This is a car that will go toe-to-toe with any sports performance car out there and usually come out on top. Imagine yourself in the driver’s seat of a genuine sports car. Here you’ll find that all models are quick, handle incredibly well, and offer a nice ride. It’s hard to beat the Camaro’s style and performance and its relatively low price tag. Of course, used cars only get more affordable.

The Camaro was reborn in 2009, so there are a lot of options for used cars. Redesigned with a mix of retro style and futuristic design elements, the Camaro is also known for its reliability, which means you get the best of both worlds—a practical, stylish sports car.

Chevy Malibu

Certain cars stand out for their pre-owned prowess—it’s true that not all cars make good used cars. The Chevy Malibu is a true standout in this realm. Having been around for a long time, and as one of the more popular cars in the history of the automobile, the Malibu’s ubiquitous presence in the market means that there are lots of options for you out there. This means that finding one that falls into your price range, and that has the options you are looking for will not be a problem.  

The Malibu is a car that can do it all. While you’ll have plenty of inventory to choose from to ensure you find the options you are looking for, what all models have in common is their reputation for being a safe, dependable car that is great for commuting. With strong reliability ratings and high fuel economy ratings, you can’t go wrong with the Malibu, as many, many people have proved throughout the years.
