When you are in the market for a truck, you want something that is rugged, dependable, powerful, comfortable, and also affordable. This is especially so if you are looking to buy a used truck. You don’t want to be hauling a load for work, only to have your truck break down on the side of the road, stranding you and costing you a job. Worse, you don’t want a used truck that can’t handle towing your new camper, ruining your family vacation. So, when you are in the market for a used Chevy truck, there is only one name to think of: Rick Hendrick Chevrolet of Buford. We are the leaders of used Chevy vehicles in Gwinnett and Hall Counties, and the one place to go for drivers looking to buy used Chevy trucks.

Used vs Pre-Owned

Anyone can sell a used truck. They just put a sign in their pickup and put it out front. Heck, the sellers don’t even need to leave the house if they don’t want to. There are plenty of on-line websites that will let them post an ad for their truck, and maybe they’ll even tell the truth about the truck. Or maybe they won’t. The Romans coined the phrase “caveat emptor” for buyer beware when the first used chariot salesman took advantage of the wrong centurion.

But this isn’t ancient Rome, and you don’t need to fear when you are buying your used Chevy truck from Rick Hendrick Chevrolet of Buford. Every used Chevy truck we sell is pre-owned. This means that your used Chevy truck has been inspected by our expert mechanics for internal and external issues, including the truck’s drivetrain, which is crucial to getting you, your passengers, and cargo where you need to go. We check all systems for their capability to ensure they function properly. This includes safety features, entertainment, and trailering. If you buy from us, you won’t have to worry that your used Chevy truck will end up leaving your trailer behind on Interstate 85.

A number of our trucks are even Certified Pre-Owned. Under this program from Chevrolet, each used vehicle is thoroughly inspected and reconditioned before you buy it. It also comes with two factory-backed warranties: one a limited warranty for 12-months or 12,000 miles bumper-to-bumper; and the second a limited warranty for 6-years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain, including Roadside Assistance. By buying a Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned truck, you will know that your vehicle has been thoroughly inspected, any safety recall issues have been addressed, and General Motors will stand behind the performance and features of your truck.

Honest, Dependable, and Reliable Service

Honesty, dependability, and reliability are not just empty words to us at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet of Buford. Every one of our pre-owned Chevy trucks comes with a free Carfax report, which would normally cost you $39.99. This report will give you all the information you will need about your used Chevy truck. This includes every event in the truck’s history that will affect its value, such as service history, damage to the vehicle, and history of the model and year of your truck to see how others have faired over the years. Were the airbags ever deployed? Was the truck ever in an accident, and if so, what needed to be repaired and replaced? You will get all this and more in your free Carfax report. In addition, your Carfax report will let you know if there are any open recalls on the vehicle, so you can make sure that all safety features are up-to-date on your used Chevy truck. Plus, you can find out how your truck was previously used. There is a big difference between someone who used the truck to drive around town and a business that used the truck as a work vehicle. You will know this as soon as you see the Carfax report before you buy your used Chevy truck from us. Maybe the Romans also said “knowledge is power” and the free Carfax report will give you this powerful knowledge.

Our reputation has been built on what we call the “Hendrick Advantage.” This means that our customers will receive a dealer experience that is second to none, built on teamwork, trust, respect, a commitment to customer enthusiasm, and responsibility and accountability at all levels of our company.

The Value of Being Used vs New

While there is nothing like buying a brand new truck, a used Chevy truck may actually be the best vehicle value in the automobile industry. All vehicles incur their greatest amount of value depreciation during their first year of ownership. Further, whenever a new version of a model is introduced, any bugs or other problems are likely to be discovered during the first year of the model. By buying a pre-owned Chevy truck from us, you will be sure that any issues that came up during the prior ownership of the vehicle have been addressed. You can enjoy the peace of mind that your Chevy truck is going to give you the performance and enjoyment you expect from used Chevrolet vehicles.
