The Benefits of Buying a Used Chevy Truck | Ashland, Ohio

More bang for your buck

Even at the entry level, Chevy trucks offer plenty of muscle. But if you’re looking to tow or haul a specific amount of cargo, you’ll pay less for a more powerful engine when you’re shopping for a used truck. For thousands less than you’d pay for a new model, you could score a Silverado 1500 with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which delivers 420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft of torque, and can tow up to 13,300 pounds. Similarly, buying used could help you save big on a Silverado HD equipped with a 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engine. With this dynamo, you’ll have access to 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, along with the power to tow up to 36,000 pounds.

Enjoy a premium driving experience

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and HD offer trim levels that range from work-ready and practical to premium and luxurious. Since used models cost less, you’ll be able to afford a higher trim level than if you purchased a brand-new model. If you’re the adventurous type, you’ll want to check out a used ZR2 model — it comes with off-road-ready features like Multimatic DSSV™ dampers and a custom front bumper, designed for better ground clearance. For an upscale driving experience, consider choosing a used High Country model. This range-topping trim will envelop you in creature comforts like heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, and a premium sound system.

Customize your ride

When you buy a pre-owned Chevy truck, you’ll save thousands, leaving you with more money to spend on accessories and enhancements. Want to add a tonneau cover to protect your cargo or a drop-in truck bed liner to keep scratches at bay? Would you like to lift your truck or equip it with bigger tires for better off-road performance? Or maybe you’d like to invest in additional tech tools, like a rear-seat entertainment system for your kids. With all the money you save when buying used, your dream customization options are within reach.

Save big in the long run

When you buy new, you get that new car smell and the satisfaction of being your truck’s first owner. However, new vehicles experience significant depreciation during their first several years on the road. When you buy a used model that’s already a few years old, you can skip that major depreciation period. And down the road, when it comes time to trade in your used truck, you’ll see less of a dramatic drop in value compared to what you paid for it.

On top of that, used Chevy trucks offer more than a lower sticker price — they’re also more affordable in the long run. Since used trucks have already depreciated, they cost less to insure. That translates to a lower car insurance bill compared to what you’d pay to insure a brand-new model.
