Why Buy A Used Colorado?

More Bang for Your Buck

One of the best parts of buying a used vehicle is that it gives you more options. You might spend the same amount of money on a high-end trim level for a used Colorado as you would on a lower trim if you bought brand new. If you’ve always wanted the Colorado ZR2 for serious off-roading prowess, for instance, it may be outside your budget new. But a used model will cost significantly less, so it might be right in your price range.

Vehicle History Reports

In the past, buying used had its pitfalls, because you couldn’t know for sure that a car wasn’t a lemon. But today, with Vehicle History Reports, you can know whether the car you’re considering has been in any accidents or sustained damage that would put you off from buying it.

It’s More Cost-Effective

Buying a used truck is more affordable than buying new in more ways than one. The sticker price for a comparable trim level will be lower with a used vehicle, of course. But you also have to consider all the other fees. Used cars will get you more affordable insurance, lower destination and dealership fees, and even cheaper registration.

And don’t forget depreciation. New cars depreciate fast in their first couple of years, and then their value decreases more slowly. If you buy a used car, you’ve skipped the biggest period of depreciation, so you get more value from your purchase.

Certified Pre-Owned Options

If you’re still not convinced of the quality of a used car, look into Certified Pre-Owned options. The Chevy CPO program ensures vehicles are of excellent quality and provides extra benefits for buyers, such as special warranties, complimentary maintenance visits, and even free roadside assistance.

A Chevy CPO vehicle is six model years old or newer and has less than 75,000 miles on the odometer. Chevy puts these vehicles through 172-Point Vehicle Inspection and Reconditioning Process to find and repair any mechanical issues.

Versatility of the Chevy Colorado

Buying used is a great option in general, but why should you buy a used Chevy Colorado? For one thing, the Colorado is one of the most versatile small pickup trucks around. It has four trim levels, including the ZR2 off-roader, as well as the Z71 that can transition from the trails to the road with ease.

The base WT trim is low on bells and whistles but keeps the price low and still offers powerful engine options. And the LT trim is a perfect daily driver for families or singles, with impressive towing and hauling capacity. No matter what you’re looking for in a truck, there’s a Colorado for you.

Colorado Interior and Exterior Features

Even going back a few years, the Chevy Colorado has the modern tech you need. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi Hotspot, and even wireless charging are all available on the 2020 Colorado, for instance. The Colorado also boasts luxuries like accent lighting that makes it feel more homey and welcoming.

You’ll also appreciate the exterior features you can get on used Colorado models for so much cheaper than you’d get on a new model. Heated mirrors, for instance, are perfect for driving in cold weather, helping you avoid fogging and will melt ice on your mirrors.
