How to Get the Most Value When Buying a Chevrolet | Chapman Chevrolet

Buying a car is a big decision, and at Chapman Chevrolet Tempe, we want to help Arizona drivers make the most informed choice. Whether you’re considering a new, used, or certified pre-owned Chevrolet, understanding vehicle value can save you money and ensure you drive away happy.

Here are some key tips to help you get the best value for your next Chevrolet.

1. Understand the Difference Between New, Used, and Certified Pre-Owned

• New Chevys offer the latest technology, full warranty coverage, the chance to customize your vehicle, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the car’s full history is yours from day one.

• Used Chevys are more affordable and have already taken the biggest depreciation hit. They’re ideal for budget-conscious buyers who still want a reliable vehicle.

• Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Chevys give you the best of both worlds: inspected, like-new vehicles with extended warranties, often at a lower price than new.

Knowing the differences helps you choose the option that maximizes value for your budget and needs.

2. Consider Total Cost of Ownership, Not Just the Sticker Price

When calculating value, it’s important to look beyond the purchase price:

• Fuel efficiency: Choosing a model with good fuel economy can save money over time.

• Maintenance costs: Regular maintenance and repair costs can vary by model. Certified vehicles often include some coverage to reduce expenses.

• Resale value: Certain Chevrolet models hold their value better, meaning you could get more when it’s time to sell or trade in.

3. Financing and Incentives
