Why Buy A Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | Fort Worth, TX

Reliability

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of the most reliable vehicles on the road, no matter what model year you buy. Studies show that a significant number of Silverado 1500 pickup trucks are still on the road after 200,000 miles, so even when you buy used, you’ll be driving your Silverado for years to come. Chevy has built the Silverado 1500 with seriously durable materials, including a roll-formed high-strength steel bed that outclasses the competition. You don’t have to worry about longevity when it comes to buying a used Chevy truck.

    Towing and Hauling Power

    The Silverado 1500 has always been one of the most powerful pickup trucks in the full-size light duty segment. The towing capacity of the Silverado 1500 hasn’t fluctuated much over the last several years, with max towing capacities ranging from 9,400-9,900 pounds. So if you think buying a truck that’s a few years old means sacrificing performance, you don’t have to worry.

      Customization Options

      Part of the benefit of buying a brand new truck is customizing it to your exact specifications, but there are tons of budget-friendly ways to customize a used truck too. Chevy makes all kinds of add-ons you can get to make your Silverado 1500 your own. Get custom gauges, dash covers, floor liners, and more to customize the inside, and add exterior parts like custom grilles and new headlights. And of course, you can add special hitches, mud flaps, roof racks, bike racks, and even an off-road bumper, to name a few accessories. If you have unique towing and hauling needs, you spend a lot of time off-roading, you like hitting bike trails around your area, or anything else in between, you can make a used Silverado 1500 fit your lifestyle.

        Higher Trims

        One big benefit of buying a used vehicle is that you get more car for your money. While your budget might only get you the base trim on a brand new Silverado 1500, if you looked at a 2015 Silverado 1500, for instance, you might be able to afford a much higher trim. Buying used is a great way to get the truck you need without breaking the bank. Maybe you need a high towing capacity for your small business, but a new Silverado 1500 with that high towing capacity isn’t affordable. Or you want more towing and hauling tech, or the off-roading prowess of the Trail Boss trim, or just more infotainment tech for long drives. Buying used puts all those options in reach. 

          Save Money

          In general, buying a used car saves you money. Used cars not only have lower price tags than equivalent new cars—they also have lower registration fees and lower insurance premiums. Plus, when you buy a used vehicle, you’ve skipped its biggest period of depreciation: the year or two right after it drives off the lot. So you get more value for less money. And buying used isn’t a big risk like it used to be. Vehicle history reports, websites that calculate the actual value of the car, and other tools help you pay the right amount for a reliable used vehicle. The benefits of buying a used truck far outweigh the risks.

            Certified Pre-Owned Programs

            If you’re still worried about getting a lemon, look into getting a certified pre-owned Silverado 1500. Certified pre-owned vehicles are used, but they have to meet certain requirements and go through rigorous inspections to pass muster. Typically, a vehicle considered certified pre-owned is less than five model years old, is under a certain mileage, and has a clean vehicle history report.
