Buying a Used Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC Vehicle
A safe, reliable vehicle is a must for living and working in today’s world — including here in Bloomington, Indiana. However, when you’re raising a family, paying off college loans, or trying to save money for a house, buying a brand-new car might not be in your budget.
Purchasing a pre-owned Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC vehicle at Curry Auto Center could be a better investment for your financial situation, saving you money while still giving you peace of mind and transportation you can count on.
Why Buy a Used Chevrolet, Buick, Or GMC Model?
Unsure about the benefits of buying used at Curry Auto Center? Here are a few of the reasons you can purchase a pre-owned vehicle with confidence.
You Can Spend Less — Or Get More For The Same Amount
If you’re interested in a particular GM model, it will virtually always cost less when you buy it used instead of brand new. A new vehicle depreciates as soon as you buy it, so a used vehicle has already experienced depreciation, resulting in a lower price.
Your money also goes farther when you buy used. Instead of settling for an entry-level new model with only a few features, you can spend the same amount of money and get a higher trim with premium options on a used model.
CPO Vehicles Help You Buy With Even More Confidence
GM and many other automakers offer certified pre-owned programs. When you buy a CPO vehicle, it’s like buying used but with even more benefits. CPO vehicles have typically passed stringent multi-point inspections and received extensive service and cleaning to meet the manufacturer’s standards. Most CPO vehicles are also backed by a limited warranty.
GM Vehicles Are Long-Lasting And Dependable
When you buy a used Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC model, you can count on its dependability and long-term quality. As proof, take a look at J.D. Power’s annual dependability ratings, which track owners’ experiences with three-year-old vehicles. In 2021, GM models from 2018 like the Buick Envision, Chevrolet Silverado HD, and Chevrolet Tahoe were awarded by J.D. Power for the highest dependability in their segments. The previous year was a good one for GM, too, with models like the 2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Equinox winning acclaim.
Vehicle History Reports Offer Peace Of Mind
These days, you can learn a lot about a used vehicle before you buy it, allowing you to confidently make a purchase and avoid any “lemons.” In most cases, you can obtain a vehicle history report from a company like AutoCheck or CARFAX®. This report will give you the vehicle’s maintenance history and identify if it’s been in any crashes or had any major repairs.
Best General Motors Models to Buy Used in Bloomington, IN
If a used GM vehicle makes sense for your needs, you’ll have plenty of outstanding options to choose from at our dealership in Bloomington. Here are a few of the best pre-owned models you can buy here at Curry Auto Center.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Whether you’re using it for work, commuting, recreation, or traveling with family, the Silverado 1500 is Chevrolet’s do-it-all full-size pickup truck.
With an array of robust engine options, high levels of towing and hauling capability, and a high-strength steel frame, the Silverado 1500 is an excellent long-term investment even when you’re buying a used version.
It’s versatile, too, providing space for up to six passengers in crew cab models. With a used Silverado, you can spend less money and still get great features like leather seats, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, and advanced safety tech for your family.
GMC Terrain
Looking for a small SUV with a dash of extra sophistication and style? Check out a pre-owned GMC Terrain. You’ll get seating for up to five, standard GMC Pro Safety features on 2021 models, and great options like a heated steering wheel and a hands-free power liftgate. The Terrain is just as capable as it is stylish, providing over 63 cubic feet of total cargo space (including a fold-flat front passenger seat), up to 1,500 pounds of towing capability, and an available AWD system.
Chevrolet Equinox
The Equinox is Chevrolet’s most popular SUV, and it’s not hard to see why. This compact model provides plenty of comfortable space for up to five people, boasts nearly 64 cubic feet of max cargo space, and saves you money by getting around 31 mpg on the highway (2021 model).*
Starting with the 2021 model year, all Equinox models were sold standard with the Chevy Safety Assist package. With this suite, you get crash-preventing features like Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert, plus feature like Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning to keep you on course.
*EPA-estimated 26 MPG city/31 highway with 1.5L engine (FWD).
GMC Acadia
If you need a larger SUV with three rows and space for up to seven people, a GMC Acadia is a great choice. When you buy a used Acadia Denali, it’s that much more affordable to have premium features like leather seating with heat and ventilation, built-in navigation, and 20-inch wheels. Buying used is also a great way to upgrade to the Acadia’s 3.6-liter V6 engine, which gives you 310 horsepower and up to 4,000 pounds of towing capacity.

Advice For Choosing The Right Used Vehicle for Your Family Bloomington
At Curry Auto Center in Bloomington, Indiana, we’re proud to offer a massive selection of quality used vehicles. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle.
A Name You Can Count On
When you’re buying used, it’s important to choose a brand name you can count on. For all-American dependability, choose a used GM vehicle. These domestic classics, such as the Chevrolet Silverado, have reputation for long-lasting reliability, so you can enjoy years of service from your vehicle. In addition to offering a selection of GM vehicles at a variety of price points, we also offer Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC models. Choose this option for extra reassurance — a vehicle can only be a Certified Pre-Owned model if it passes our 172-point inspection, has low mileage, a clean title, and be less than six model years old.
Get The Most Bang For Your Buck
While buying used is a great way to save money on your next vehicle, price is still an important factor to consider when narrowing down your options. Browse our selection of trim levels and model years to find a vehicle that suits your needs and budget. You may be surprised to learn that you can afford a larger or more luxurious model than you’d expect when buying new.
Seating and Spaciousness
If you’ve got a busy family and an active lifestyle, seating capacity and cargo space may be a priority. For families that are still growing, consider a three-row SUV — models like the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave offer plenty of versatility thanks to their many seats and ample cargo capacity. Smaller families can take advantage of the safety and comfort offered by the Chevy Equinox and Buick Envision. If you’ll be using your vehicle for contracting work or home improvement projects, consider a pickup truck like the GMC Sierra 1500 or the Chevrolet Silverado. Commuters looking for technology and efficiency should consider the Buick Encore and the Chevrolet Malibu. And if you love to explore the outdoors, check out the rugged Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon.
The Power You Need
Need to tackle the toughest jobs? Many used models of the Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 can tow well over 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. For power and capability alongside family-friendly spaciousness, consider a GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban.
