If you are in the market for a Chevy, deciding between a new or used vehicle can be tough. Should you splurge on a factory-fresh model or save money on a pre-owned gem? Check out this advice from your local Chevy dealer on what to consider when choosing the right vehicle for your needs. Photo by: RJA1988 via pixabay.com more 1. Model Preference Do you have a preference for the newest Chevy vehicles, or do you prefer older models? One perk of buying a new car is getting the latest Chevrolet models before they hit the used car lots. You can choose from a range of trims, colors, and packages, which allows you to customize the vehicle to your taste. If you prefer an older vehicle or a Chevy model that is no longer in production, buying used is an excellent choice. You can explore the used car market and find unique models with proven performance. So if your preferred Chevy is only available on the used market, don't shy away from buying it. 2. Purchase Cost and Depreciation Budget and purchase costs are huge considerations when buying a Chevy. However, if you would like to buy a new car, don't let the cost discourage you. Your local dealer has financing plans to suit your financial situation. You can also trade in your old vehicle to offset the down payment and save money on the purchase. If you are concerned about the cost and initial depreciation of new cars, consider getting a used one. Preowned vehicles are cheaper because the first owner already incurred the initial depreciation costs. With your budget, you can access a newer used model with advanced tech features at a fraction of the price of the new one. 3. Reliability and Performance One perk of buying a new Chevy is the assurance that no one else has put miles on the vehicle. With a new vehicle, you get the full factory warranty and mileage limits, knowing upfront that there are no existing performance or mechanical issues. Chevrolets are known for their reliability and excellent performance: even older ones. However, all used cars come with more risk of mechanical issues than new ones. You can mitigate this risk by buying a certified pre-owned (CPO) Chevy from the dealership. These vehicles undergo stringent inspections to make sure they are in excellent condition. 4. Warranty Protection New Chevys come with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty that covers defects in material and workmanship. However, some used Chevys come with warranties, too. If you buy a used car that is less than three years old, you will enjoy what's left of the factory warranty. If you buy a certified pre-owned Chevy from your dealer, you will get an extended warranty from the manufacturer as well. All CPO vehicles come with a 12-month or 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a six-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Given Chevrolet's reputation for longevity and reliability, both new and used Chevys are great choices to consider. Visit Orr Chevrolet of Fort Smith to choose from our extensive collection of new and pre-owned vehicles.

The safety features in modern Chevy and Cadillac cars are saving drivers a lot of money on medical bills, vehicle repairs, and insurance claims. These sophisticated road hazard detection and avoidance systems supplement your own safe driving habits and reflexes to help ensure you make it safely to work or home every day. Here are the best safety and security features you'll find on a Chevy or Cadillac. If you would like to learn more, visit your local Chevy dealership. Photo by: Kelly via pexels.com more Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Reversing out of a parking spot is always a risky moment. In the past, when drivers couldn't clearly see the road behind them, they had to trust their hearing, the caution of other drivers, and sheer blind luck to hope an oncoming car didn't hit the rear of their reversing vehicle. In a modern Chevy or Cadillac car, you can reverse with far more confidence. Camera or radar sensors monitor the road behind your car, ready to warn you if another vehicle is approaching, and even activate the brakes automatically if necessary. Forward Collision Alert In much the same way, your Chevy or Cadillac always monitors the road ahead of you. You'll receive a clear visual and audible warning if a collision threat ever appears in front of your car. If you fail to take immediate evasive action, your car can also activate the emergency brakes to mitigate the threat. Front Pedestrian Braking The external sensors on your Chevy or Cadillac are intelligent enough to detect any pedestrian who suddenly appears in front of your car, even a small child running into the road. Your car then warns you and can either activate the brakes automatically or enhance your own activation of the brakes to help ensure neither you nor the pedestrian comes to harm. Safety Alert Seat When a collision threat suddenly appears, you have split seconds in which to respond. To help with this, both Chevy and Cadillac cars have safety alert seats. These seats give you a vibrating pulse on the left, right, or both sides at once, indicating the direction from which the collision threat has arisen. See How These Features Work at Your Local Chevy Dealer In addition to these features, modern Chevys and Cadillacs have a good deal more clever safety and security features.

Most drivers worry about a transmission repair. They believe this type of repair is expensive and time-consuming. Fortunately, most transmission problems can be fixed quickly and inexpensively. As your Chevy dealer, we'd like you to know some of the signs that you have a transmission problem. more Damaged Transmission Mount Your transmission is anchored in place by the transmission mount. The transmission is filled with constant movement as your gears change. If the transmission isn't securely attached to your car, the movements in the transmission can shift the whole unit and cause damage. If you start hearing clunking or clanking from your engine, you may have a damaged mount. We check your transmission mount during a regularly scheduled service. On average, a transmission mount needs to be replaced every five to seven years. If the mount hasn't been checked according to schedule, it may have suffered damage. Other possible signs of the damaged mount are excessive vibrations while you're driving or noises when you shift from park to drive. Whining, Clunking, or Grinding Noises Your transmission should operate silently as it shifts gears. This means that any noises from the transmission are a sign that something is going wrong. Whining sounds usually indicate a lack of transmission fluid. This fluid is essential for your transmission. It prevents the transmission from overheating, enables your gears to shift, and protects the components against friction damage. Grinding noises can also indicate a low fluid level, as they suggest friction between parts in the transmission. A transmission has hundreds of fast-moving parts. Damage to one of these parts will affect the whole transmission. Clunking noises suggest that one of your transmission sensors has failed. This damaged sensor is preventing your computer from shifting gears correctly. Leaking Fluid As we've seen, transmission fluid enables your transmission to work correctly. A lack of fluid can cause serious damage to your transmission. Luckily, a transmission fluid leak is generally easy to spot. Transmission fluid is bright or dark red, and it has a sweet smell. You can check for a possible leak by placing a large piece of clean cardboard under your car at night. If there are no marks on the cardboard in the morning, there are two further tests you can try. Start your engine and put your gear into neutral. After a few minutes switch off the engine and check the cardboard. If you don't see anything, keep your foot on the brake and shift into drive. If you don't see any marks on the card you may have a transmission leak into your engine. If you're worried about your transmission, call us at Orr Chevrolet of Fort Smith.
