A Used Chevy Is an Ideal Option for a Variety of Drivers

Chesapeake is a diverse city with a mixture of residential, industrial, and rural landscapes. For that reason, Chesapeake drivers need an array of vehicles. We regularly offer a selection of used Chevys for under $15,000, so when you know you need something that won’t break the bank, be sure to check out that section on our website. We prioritize keeping a good mixture of models, so those looking for anything from an SUV to an electric car can get a good deal. Plus, Chevys are such reliable cars that the savings can continue to be seen long after you purchase your used vehicle. They have a reputation for running for miles without needing many repairs, making them a smart choice for drivers watching their budget.

Used Chevys are also terrific options for those who want to be kind to the environment. Buying used instead of new is always the more environmentally-friendly option. Every used car purchased means one less that needs to be made and fewer greenhouse gasses. And, since Chevy has made several electric and hybrid vehicles in recent years, you can continue to be kind to the planet by buying a used Chevy EV or hybrid. Consider a used Chevy Volt or a Chevy Malibu Hybrid if you’re trying to reduce your fuel costs and carbon footprint.

Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about pickup trucks when discussing used Chevys. Many know that a used Chevy Silverado can go for many miles without issue, and with the Silverado’s impressive capabilities from towing to hauling, it’s the perfect car for someone looking for a reliable workhorse. As you can see, buying a pre-owned Chevy opens up many more choices, all at an affordable price.

Financing Your Chevy

It’s common to have questions when financing a vehicle. You will be signing a contract, so understanding the ins and outs of what you agree to is important. Our finance team is happy to answer all your questions and ensure you have full clarity before signing a single document. In the meantime, here are some FAQs we often get about the financing process.

How Do I Qualify for a Car Loan?

To see what sorts of loans you’ll qualify for, you’ll need to provide the lender or dealership with a few crucial pieces of information. These include your credit report, proof of income, proof of identity, and residence. The higher your credit score, the better rate you’ll see on your loan. For that reason, it can be smart to do what you can to improve your credit score before applying for a car loan or any type of loan, for that matter.

How Much Do I Put Down?

It is best to put down 20 percent of the purchase price if possible. However, on a used car, you can sometimes put down as little as ten percent. Just remember that the more you put down, the lower your monthly payments will be. Cash isn’t the only form of down payment, though. Remember that you can trade in your old vehicle, and put the value of it towards your next car purchase. Those with bad credit stand to benefit the most from putting down a larger down payment since this is one way to lower monthly payments when you do not qualify for the best rate.

How Long Is a Car Loan?

Most car loans last somewhere from two to eight years. They are typically in 12-month increments, such as 36 or 72 months.

Can I Pay Off My Loan Early?

In some cases, you can pay off your loan early. Check your contract with your specific lender. Certain lenders charge an early payment penalty fee since they had planned on making money off the long-term interest you would have paid.
