5 Used Chevy Vehicles You Should Consider

If you are searching “used car dealership near me,” but are actually still unsure what type of vehicle you are even looking for, allow us at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet of Buford to make a few recommendations. Our team of sales associates and service technicians have decades of experience working with some of the best new and used Chevys on the road. And through our experience selling and fixing Chevy’s of all stripes, we have learned which ones you should really consider in your search for a used car, truck, or SUV.

Some of the models and years might be surprising, but that is the great thing about getting insider information: it isn’t always what you would expect, but it does come from a source you can trust. In general, there is a lot to consider when deciding which used cars, trucks, and SUVs are worth your time. Some of those factors include fuel economy, safety, reliability, and whether or not the car in question has the latest infotainment technologies. And today, we are going to look at all of these factors. So without further ado, here are five used Chevy vehicles you should consider buying.

#1 The Chevy Cruze

The good news about the Chevy Cruze is that it gets high marks in all of the aforementioned categories, and more. The fuel economy, in particular, is stellar with the Cruze, so if you are a climate-conscious driver or are someone who wants a vehicle that isn’t hard on your wallet, the Cruze is definitely worth your consideration.

Cruzes that are a little bit older, say in the 2013-2016 range, will get around 22-30 MPG in the city and 35-40 MPG on the highways. And while those numbers are absolutely fantastic, if you are able to swing a Cruze from the last few years, those numbers skyrocket. A 2018 Cruze, for example, gets anywhere from 27-31 MPG in the city and an astounding 37-52 MPG on the highway.

It is good to note, too, that the later versions also score well on expected reliability ratings and other categories, making it one of the top-ranked compact cars on the market.

#2 The Chevy Silverado

Not everyone is looking for a compact car, not even a great one like the Cruze. In fact, many used car and truck buyers are in need of something with a little more power. If that is the case for you, the Chevy Silverado is a no brainer. Whether you need a truck to haul your tools to work or your toys for the weekend, the Silverado has great towing capacity, a powerful, reliable engine, and a spacious, well-designed interior.

The 2016 version of the Silverado is a particularly good one, and on any version, you get a best-in-class towing capacity, with the capability maxing out after surpassing 9,000 pounds. The payload capacity, too, is great, hitting almost 2,000 pounds, which means you can load up the bed of a Silverado with just about anything you would need to.

On top of all that, the powerful (yet surprisingly fuel-efficient) V8 turbo diesel engine can get up to 420 hp and is known for being reliable for years. In fact, the whole truck has some of the best reliability ratings of any truck in North America.

#3 The Chevy Equinox

Just about everything about the Chevy Equinox has made it one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market today. On the inside, the interior is roomy and more comfortable than many other compact SUVs. Under the hood, the engine is the perfect mix of power and fuel efficiency with some engines capable of generating as many as 252 hp, while others are able to get up to 28 MPG in the city and up to 39 MPG on the highway.

But what really makes the Equinox a stellar choice is its off-the-charts reliability ratings. No other compact SUV has the complete package like the Equinox, and you would do well to consider it seriously as you are searching for a used car, truck, or SUV in the Buford area.

#4 Chevy Suburban

If you are looking for a family car that can handle the daily grind of shuttling kids to school, soccer, and everywhere in between, the Chevy Suburban is an excellent choice. There is a reason the Suburban is perhaps Chevy’s most famous and most beloved models, and if you go with a Suburban from the mid-2010s, you will not be disappointed.

What makes the Suburban such a compelling choice is its massive interior, which combines ample legroom for up to eight passengers while at the same time leaving plenty of space to haul just about anything. And if you put down the two back rows of seats, you can haul even more with a Suburban.

Older versions of the Suburban (2014 and earlier) get up to 320 hp, while from 2015-2018, you can get a little more power at 355 hp. If you can spring for and find a used 2019 version, you actually have the option for an even more powerful V8 engine that generates 420 hp. All in all, the Chevy Suburban from any year is a workhorse and can be a people mover or haul tools and toys wherever you need to go.

#5 Chevy Camaro

Some cars are worth considering simply because they are fun and thrilling to drive. The Chevy Camaro would be one such vehicle. Over the last half-decade and longer, the Camaro has ranked well among sports cars and has proved to be both an exciting ride and a reliable one too.

The engine choices on the Camaro are exceptionally powerful and get the car moving in a hurry. Depending on the configuration of the Camaro you are considering, you can expect the engine to generate anywhere from 275 hp all the way up to a ridiculous 650 hp. When you combine that kind of power with the slick maneuverability and handling of the Camaro, you get an unparalleled driving experience. The Camaro can also get up to 31 MPG on the highway, so you don’t have to worry about wasting a ton of gas while you are enjoying your Camaro.

Finally, even the little details on the Camaro are high-quality. The infotainment system ranks well, and many of the safety features are advanced and make it a very safe ride.
