There are all kinds of reasons why a driver may want to get a pre-owned truck instead of buying new. Used trucks are more affordable, and buying used lets you choose not just from a variety of trim levels but also from a variety of model years, so you can find something that’s perfect for your needs and fits your style like a glove. Chevy trucks are built to last for the long haul, so even a model with a few miles on the odometer is still going to have lots of life in it. But buying used also comes with risks since your truck will have had a previous owner or two, and not every driver is great at keeping up with regular maintenance and proper truck care.
Luckily, you can get the best of both worlds by opting for a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) truck. With a CPO model, you can rest assured that the vehicle you’re looking at has been thoroughly inspected by experts, meets strict standards for quality, and comes with two factory-backed warranties. DePaula Chevrolet is your Saratoga, NY, Certified Pre-Owned Chevy truck dealer, and we can get you behind the wheel of a used Silverado or Colorado that’s in excellent condition. If you’re interested in learning more about Chevy’s CPO program, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s take a look at what certification means and why it’s a smart option for your next truck.
When looking at the wider world of used vehicles, you’ll find cars, trucks, and SUVs that can range from only a year or two old to over a decade old, some that are in great condition and some that are covered in scuffs and scratches, and a range of different numbers on the odometers. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, on the other hand, have to meet specific standards in order to gain certification. In order to be a Chevy CPO vehicle, a car can’t be any older than six model years old, it can’t have more than 75,000 miles, and it must have a clean title according to its vehicle history report. You’ll be able to see the CARFAX for yourself, for free, when browsing CPO trucks, giving you the ability to consider previous owner history and maintenance records in addition to the current condition of the vehicle.
Before a CPO vehicle is even listed on our lot, any outstanding safety recalls need to be completed, so you won’t be taken by surprise after the deal is closed. And in addition to all of the above requirements, all CPO vehicles also need to get a thorough 172-point inspection conducted by automotive experts. If any issues are found, they’ll be fixed during the vehicle’s reconditioning process.
Once you’ve made your purchase, you’ll get a three-day or 150-mile window to make sure that it’s exactly right for you. If you’re not completely satisfied, then you can exchange it for another vehicle that does fit your needs. You’ll also get two factory-backed warranties with any CPO purchase. Both the 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and the six-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty have a $0 deductible, so you can drive with confidence. On top of that, you’ll get the CPO Scheduled Maintenance Program, which includes two complimentary maintenance visits within your first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership.
There’s a Chevy truck out there for every driver, and we can help you find your perfect fit at DePaula Chevrolet. Chevy’s most popular truck is the full-size Silverado 1500. This versatile pickup comes in a variety of trim levels, from no-frills models that are affordable and hardworking to luxurious options with lush interiors to off-road-ready trims that can take you on incredible adventures. The Silverado’s towing and hauling figures have been class competitive for years, so no matter what model you get, you should have plenty of power to work with.
If you have serious jobs that need doing, you can always go with the Silverado HD. This heavy-duty truck is available with powerful engines that are capable of some truly mind-blowing stats, able to tow tens of thousands of pounds. Newer models are also loaded with tech features that can help you stay aware of your surroundings and in control at all times while trailering heavy loads, even in tricky situations or at high speeds.
On the other hand, some drivers will never need the massive capability of a full-size truck. If you don’t need it, then there’s no sense in paying extra for it when the reliable Colorado is available. This midsize pickup is still plenty capable, but its more compact size makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. This can come in handy on city streets or in shopping center parking lots, but it can also be an advantage on tight off-road trails with lots of twists and turns. That’s why the Colorado has been available as a rough and rugged ZR2 trim longer than any other Chevy truck.
Whether you’re interested in midsize, full-size, or HD, we have what you’re looking for here at DePaula Chevrolet. We’re dedicated to being a one-stop shop for all of your automotive needs, so you can sit back, relax, and let us take care of everything from financing to maintenance. Our friendly sales team knows their stuff when it comes to trucks, both new and used, so they can answer any questions you have, set you up with test drives, and give you personalized recommendations based on your driving habits and preferences.
Once you’ve settled on a model that’s right for you, the experts in our finance department can make sure that you end up with a monthly payment plan that fits your budget. Financing isn’t just available for new vehicles; you can get a loan for your CPO truck, too, breaking its cost down into manageable payments that fit into your budget. Even if you have no credit at all, we’re happy to work with you and offer you a deal that will leave you satisfied.
