Have you been searching for a used Chevy vehicle lately? There’s a good chance you’ve seen the terms used, pre-owned, and certified pre-owned on dozens of vehicles at this point with wildly different prices, miles, and years on the cars. While used and pre-owned are interchangeable terms, certified pre-owned cars (aka, CPO) are unique. While there are some similarities between used and certified pre-owned cars, they offer very different benefits to drivers in and around Kewanee. In this overview, we’ll look at all of the CPO vs. used car differences, Chevy CPO benefits, and much more so you can have all the information to make an informed decision for your next vehicle. If you’re unsure of what it means to buy a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, read on. Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned vs. Used Car Similarities Both certified and standard pre-owned vehicles have been owned and driven by other people and will have some road under their tires, which means they’ll cost less than a new vehicle due to their age and the miles driven. Beyond these two points, there aren’t really many similarities between CPO and used cars. Used cars can be any age, have any amount of miles, and may have damage in their vehicle history. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, on the other hand, have strict requirements in this regard—read on to find out what they are. CPO vs. Used Car Differences Used vehicles usually undergo some form of quality inspection, but it varies from dealer to dealer, and only some dealerships go above and beyond to ensure they have the best odds to run reliably for years. On the other hand, Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet vehicles undergo rigorous inspections, regardless of where you are in the country. In order to be considered a certified vehicle, Chevy cars, trucks, and SUVs must pass a 172-point manufacturer’s inspection, covering: The age of the vehicle, as it needs to be six years old or newer 75,000 miles or less on the odometer Must have a clean vehicle history Have no major accidents or damages in its history All components are in good condition or have been replaced with genuine Chevy parts And more Every inch, every bolt, and every fiber of Chevrolet vehicles are pored over to ensure they meet Chevy’s and GM’s high standards to become certified. If they don’t live up to these inspections, then they are simply considered used or pre-owned vehicle. Nothing wrong with that, but the ones that do pass offer a wealth of benefits to drivers. Chevy CPO Benefits If you decide to buy a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, you’re going to take advantage of a few benefits that standard pre-owned cars don’t offer. For one, you have peace of mind when purchasing a CPO Chevy because they’vebeen thoroughly vetted to guarantee quality, and they have fewer miles driven, which means the odds of a major repair in the future are lower than if you purchased a standard used vehicle. Speaking of peace of mind, CPO Chevy vehicles also come with an additional warranty for one year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. CPO Chevy vehicles may also come with complementary maintenance for the first two years of ownership and roadside assistance in the event of a breakdown. Lastly, since the bulk of the vehicle’s depreciation takes place during the first few years of ownership, you’ll save big when you buy a certified pre-owned Chevy compared to a new vehicle, though it will carry a slightly higher price tag compared to a standard used vehicle. However, for all of the benefits you receive, it’s well worth it. Shop CPO Chevy Vehicles in Kewanee While purchasing a new car is always an investment, you can make your money go further and drive more confidently when you choose a CPO Chevy. However, if you want even greater savings, our used vehicle lineup at Ed Morse Chevrolet GMC Kewanee will serve you well. We inspect every vehicle to ensure dependability, whether it carries the certified tag or not. Head down to our dealership today to explore our lineup of pre-owned and CPO vehicles to find the perfect fit for your needs, budget, and peace of mind.

When you’re looking for a pre-owned vehicle, you’ll likely run across the term “Chevy Certified.” While Chevy certified vehicles have become more popular over the years, it still isn’t a widely understood term. Why do certified cars cost more than other used Chevy vehicles? Is it worth it to pay more for a certified pre-owned car? In this guide, we’ll go over what makes a Chevy certified vehicle, Chevy certified pre-owned benefits, and why you should consider one for your next vehicle. Read on to learn all about the certified program. What Does Chevy Certified Pre-Owned Mean? A Chevy certified car, truck, or SUV is a vehicle that has undergone a 172-point inspection from certified Chevy technicians to ensure it’s of the highest quality to earn the certified designation. The inspection covers the basics, including: Oil status Brake inspection Battery life Tire condition The engine Transmission And much more Beyond the basics, in order for a Chevy vehicle to be certified, our team will look into the overall history and condition of the car, with points including: Accident reports Recalls Warranty Aftermarket parts and modifications Safety features Auto glass condition Body damage And beyond This comprehensive inspection guarantees the vehicle hasn’t been in any major accidents or had serious repairs performed throughout the vehicle’s life. The vehicle must also pass three major points: The vehicle must be less than six (6) years old, have 75,000 or fewer miles driven, and have a clean title. Only after all of these and the above conditions are met can the vehicle be designated Chevy certified. Chevy Certified Pre-Owned Benefits Chevy certified vehicles are the middle point between a new Chevy vehicle and a pre-owned Chevy vehicle. The first benefit is the lower price than new vehicles, but still coming with more recently updated and enhanced features, safety tech, and amenities than pre-owned vehicles. You can also rest assured that certified pre-owned vehicles have been thoroughly inspected and vetted to ensure their quality. Adding to the peace of mind benefit is coverage through CPO warranties. Every certified Chevy is covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty and a 6-year powertrain warranty. If anything should happen to your vehicle, your warranty will protect you. Additional Chevy certified pre-owned benefits include: 24/7 roadside assistance A scheduled maintenance program A 3-month Sirius XM subscription And more Is It Worth It to Pay More for a Certified Pre-Owned Car? Consider that many standard pre-owned and used cars do not have any form of included coverage at the time of purchase. Also, while there will usually be more pre-owned vehicles to choose from, you need to browse a larger selection to find one that has lower mileage, a cheaper price tag, and the features you want or need. Used vehicles don’t undergo as thorough an inspection as CPO cars, trucks, and SUVs, so there may be issues lying in wait that will creep up sooner, especially for a vehicle with higher mileage. With certified Chevy vehicles, all of those unknowns are removed. Certified Chevy vehicles are guaranteed to be newer, have fewer miles driven, and therefore longer lifespans, especially when proper maintenance is followed, for only a slightly higher price. Is it worth it to pay more for a certified pre-owned car? For a newer and less worn-in vehicle that comes with a warranty, we’d say it’s a resounding yes. Test Drive a Certified Chevy in Kewanee, IL Curious to see if certified Chevy vehicles really deliver on the benefits we’ve listed? Head down to Ed Morse Chevrolet GMC Kewanee and explore our vast lineup of Chevy certified pre-owned vehicles to see why they’re a worthy investment and how you can reap their benefits.

If you’re looking to buy a new electric vehicle, we recommend that you do it soon. Under new federal legislation, the new clean vehicle tax credit is set to end at the end of September of 2025. The EV tax credit was beneficial to shoppers and automakers alike, and now that it’s ending, there’s no telling when we’ll see another opportunity like this to save on a new car. Good news is, there’s still plenty of time if you’re interested in buying a new Chevy or GMC EV of your own. Here’s everything you need to know. When is the EV Tax Credit Ending? The credit is set to expire on Tuesday, September 30 th, 2025, but there may be a way to extend the deadline by just a bit. Basically, the legislation that set the deadline for the EV tax credit says that it must be “acquired” by September 30 th. However, the IRS recently stated that, in this context, the word “acquired” can simply mean that the customer has signed a binding contract and made some sort of payment. If this sounds like murky territory, the important thing to know is this: if you plan to purchase an electric vehicle, you may be able to make use of the tax credit, even if the vehicle isn’t scheduled for delivery until after the credit ends. Contact your local Chevrolet GMC dealership to learn more. How Do I Qualify for the EV Tax Credit? In order for a shopper to qualify, the vehicle must be bought for personal use, not resale, and must be primarily used within the U.S. There are also stipulations for modified adjusted gross income (AGI): Married couples filing jointly or a surviving spouse: $300,000 or less Heads of households: $225,000 or less All others: $150,000 or less You can use your AGI from the year the vehicle is delivered or the year before, even if one year is too high. Assuming you meet these requirements, you simply file the corresponding IRS form with your taxes and you’re good to go. Which Chevrolet and GMC Vehicles Qualify for the EV Tax Credit? In addition to the personal qualifications, the vehicle itself must meet certain requirements to get the maximum credit of $7,500. To qualify for the new vehicle tax credit, the vehicle: Must be bought new Must have an MSRP of $80,000 or under (vans, SUVs, and pickup trucks) or an MSRP of $55,000 or under (all other vehicles) Must have a battery capacity of 7 kilowatt hours or more Must have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 14,000 pounds or less Must be made by a qualified manufacturer Must be finally assembled in North America Must meet a requirement for critical minerals Must meet a requirement for battery assembly The final two requirements for critical minerals and battery assembly are based on what percentage of those parts are sourced from specific places. Each one is worth $3,750, which means that both requirements have to be met to collect the full $7,500, but vehicles that don’t meet both are still eligible for half the total credit. So, what does all of that mean for you when you visit our Chevy GMC dealership in Kewanee? Here are the Chevrolet and GMC models that can qualify: 2024 – 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV 2024 – 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV 2025 – 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV 2026 GMC Sierra EV Browse our selection of new vehicles for sale to find these models and more, and don’t forget to check our new vehicle specials to find even more ways to save big-time.

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is here, and it comes in 10 different available trims.

Well, let’s answer some common questions about the differences between these Silverado trims. We’ll examine a few different categories of differences to help you understand how the trims stack up against each other. Then you can determine which Chevy Silverado trim you prefer.

Compact SUVs are among the best-selling types of vehicles in America, so it’s no big shocker that every automaker under the sun has at least one standout model. Shoppers now have to sort through dozens of contenders to figure out which one will suit them best—not a bad problem to have, but it can get a bit overwhelming. We don’t have time to compare them all, but we certainly have time to compare two of the most popular. Here’s how the 2025 Chevy Equinox stacks up against the 2025 Nissan Rogue. Equinox vs. Rogue Price First, let’s talk about the bottom line. The 2025 Equinox is available in three different trims: LT: $28,600 RS: $33,000 ACTIV: $33,000 The 2025 Rogue has five available trims: S: $28,590 SV: $29,590 Rock Creek: $33,490 SL: $35,090 Platinum: $38,590 While they start out at almost the exact same price, the simplified Equinox lineup caps out at $33k, while the Rogue shoots up by over $5,000 for its uppermost trim with the nicest features, which means the Equinox takes the W for value. Equinox vs. Rogue Performance The Equinox is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that cranks out 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. That motor is paired with either front-wheel drive and a CVT transmission or all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It also has a max towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, and it’s rated to get 26 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. The Rogue’s engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder that puts out 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. Buyers get a choice between FWD or AWD, and all models are linked to a CVT transmission. Max towing capacity is also 1,500 pounds, and it’s rated for up to 30 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. While they’re both very similar in terms of power and their ability to accelerate to highway speeds, the Rogue gets a slight edge for its fuel economy. Of course, if you’re worried about gas prices, you could always grab an efficient model like the Equinox EV instead. Equinox vs. Rogue Features The Equinox benefits big-time from its recent redesign. Despite its modest price point, it comes standard with dual infotainment screens, an 11.0-inch digital driver information cluster and an 11.3-inch LCD center display. It also includes Google built-in, natural voice recognition, SiriusXM®, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, front and rear USB ports, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and available wireless phone charging in all but the LT trim. The Rogue comes standard with an 8.0-inch center screen and Drive-Assist display, while the pricier trims get dual 12.3-inch digital screens to handle infotainment. Standard features include Bluetooth®, SiriusXM®, wired Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and two USB ports, but you’ll have to buck up for those more expensive trims if you want features like Wi-Fi, Google built-in, and voice recognition. Both have an impressive list of tech and connectivity features, but the Equinox wins by a landslide for having more standard features, making it the best compact SUV for the money. Equinox vs. Rogue Safety As with most modern vehicles, both come with an impressive array of standard safety and driver assistance features. Features shared by the Equinox and Rogue include: Forward collision alert Automatic emergency braking Pedestrian detection Rear cross traffic alert Rear automatic braking Lane departure warning Blind zone warning However, once again, the Equinox impresses by having a few more standard features that are otherwise optional in the Rogue. Namely, adaptive cruise control, lane change and blind spot steering assist, cyclist detection, and Teen Driver, which gives the Equinox first prize for best SUV for families.
