It is no secret that buying used/preowned is a great way to get a new-to-you car. Come into your local used car dealership in Rockford, IL. You have access to a wide variety of used cars in good condition. Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet is happy to work with you and get you behind the wheel of your next vehicle.

Our knowledgeable and professional stage can work with you to determine the right vehicle for your lifestyle. Here are a couple of reasons to come into Lou Bachrodt Chevy for your next used car purchase.

Save Money with Lou Bachrodt Chevy

When you buy a used car, you save a significant amount of money. The moment you drive a new car off the lot, it quickly loses its value (depreciates). Used cars depreciate at a much slower rate than new vehicles! A new vehicle loses about 20% of its value within the first year (Progressive).

According to Bankrate, the average car payment for a new vs. used car is about $200. This means you could be saving $2,400 per year by purchasing a used vehicle. Additionally, insurance costs for used cars are lower since the value is lower.

Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet has a team of financing professionals who can help you make a plan that fits your budget. We have relationships with local banks so you have more financing options. Use the payment calculator on our website to get an idea of what a monthly payment would look like.

Access to Certified Preowned Vehicles

At Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet, we have dozens of certified pre-owned vehicles in our inventory. Certified pre-owned Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles make up the majority of our stock. To receive the CPO title, cars need to meet a strict set of criteria. They need to be less than six years old, have a clean title, and have less than 75K miles.

Finally, when a car passes a 172-point inspection, we consider it certified pre-owned. When you come into our dealership, you know that you are getting these things and more. Here are some examples of certified pre-owned Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles.
