Private Used Cars for Sale vs. GM Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

2012-01-23T17:32:00.005-05:00

Wondering why you should buy a GM Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle when you can grab a used car from a private owner at as much as $2000 less? Buying from a private used car seller may cost a bit less, but the risks of repair costs after purchase and the uncertainty of the most valuable components lifespan can cost exponentially more than $2000. The possibilities are literally frightening, and frighteningly likely to happen when you’re not buying certified-used from a reputable dealership:

ENGINE REPAIRS: There are hundreds of internal lubricated parts. The average repair for an internal engine failure repair costs between $2000 - $5000 if the engine needs replaced, and there may be symptoms present that are not detectable by the average used car buyer.

TRANSMISSION REPAIRS: There are internal lubricated parts, including seals, gaskets and clutches that work interdependently. The average cost of repair for internal failure cost between $2000 - $4000 or more for the average vehicle. Again, there may be symptoms present that are not detectable by the average used car buyer.

DRIVE AXLES and DIFFERENTIAL REPAIRS: Repairs to any of the vehicles drive axles or differentials can be very expensive, especially if they were not maintained. The average repair costs can range from $1000 - $2000 for an internal failure, more if the complete assembly needs to be replaced.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE: ALL WHEEL DRIVE REPAIRS: These are also very complex systems that are very expensive to repair or replace, costing $1000 - $2000.

STEERING SYSTEM REPAIRS: There are 100+ individual parts (moving and stationary) - The average cost of repair is $500 - $1500.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM REPAIRS: There are many individual parts depending on advanced systems; the average cost of repair is $500 to $1000 or more.

BRAKE REPAIRS: There are many individual wearable parts not including the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) - The average cost of repair is $350 to over $1000.

COOLING SYSTEM REPAIRS: There are many components in the cooling system that are affected by the normal wear and tear of driving; the average cost of repair is over $400. Timing belt driven water pumps can cost over $900.

SEALS and GASKETS REPAIRS: Cylinder head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets are common failures to many vehicles; the average cost of repair can range from $500 to over $1000.

AIR CONDITIONER and HEATER REPAIRS: Many vehicles do not blow cold air. The seller states it just needs a tune-up charge of freon. This means the original charge must have leaked out somewhere over time. A professional inspector has many years of training and experience to detect where freon normally leaks from and may be able to tell with a visual inspection of the air conditioning components if evidence is present. - The average cost of repair can be over $1000!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPAIRS: Many electrical component problems can go undetected to the un-trained eye. The average cost of repair can be over $500.

When you buy a used car, don’t compromise the peace of your mind for an extra $2000 up front. This is where the GM Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program comes in; when you choose certified pre-owned Chevy vehicles, you know that only the "best of the best" used cars qualify for GM’s certification program.

Before a used car is labeled as certified used car for sale, the car must be no more than five model years old. It also must be well maintained and have less than 60,000 miles. There are also maintenance checks that are preformed on the vehicles as well.

All certified used Chevrolet vehicles are covered by towing or rental car services including travel coverage. Each vehicle purchased has a 150-point vehicle inspection and a GM Certified Wrap Service Contract that includes a 10-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and 10-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance.

Don’t take the risk of buying privately or from a disreputable dealer! Visit City Chevrolet in Charlotte, to see one of the largest certified used car inventories in North Carolina!

1st Volt is Sold at City Chevrolet

2011-09-13T14:08:00.006-04:00

Congratulations goes out to Jeff Cline, proud owner of a new 2012 Chevy Volt. Jeff was the lucky customer who purchased City Chevrolet's very 1st Volt on September 8, 2011. He is so excited about his new car! You'll see Jeff Cline pictured here (center) with his mother-in-law (left) and salesperson, Patricia Tate (right).

The Volt is Chevrolet's electric vehicle with extended-range capability. It is designed to drive up to 35 miles on electricity without using gasoline or producing tailpipe emissions. When the Volt's lithium-ion battery is depleted, an engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the total driving range to about 375 miles. The Volt combines the convenience and efficiency of an electric car with the long-range capabilities of a traditional vehicle. Unlike a hybrid, it can get through your average commute without using any gas at all. Go Green! (information from Chevrolet)

Hendrick Automotive Group to Help Fund Middle School Sports

2011-08-03T16:21:00.007-04:00

MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release: Aug. 3, 2011
Hendrick Automotive Group to Help Fund Middle School Sports

Sponsorship arrangement will provide money to support middle school athletics

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Aug. 3, 2011 – A $250,000 sponsorship agreement with Hendrick Automotive Group will allow Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to offer a complete program of middle school sports for the 2011-12 academic year.

Due to budget cuts, CMS had expected to reduce the number of middle school sports offered in previous years. The Hendrick sponsorship, combined with a contribution from an unidentified donor, provides the remaining amount necessary to fund the full lineup of 13 sports at all 32 middle schools for more than 6,500 students participating in athletics across the district.

“We believe that sports play a crucial role in students’ education and development,” said CMS interim superintendent Hugh Hattabaugh. “Hendrick Automotive Group’s generous support is a great example of how the support of local businesses can make an enormous difference in the lives of children.”

The sponsorship agreement designates HendrickCars.com as an official sponsor of CMS athletics, which offers opportunities for more than 16,000 middle and high school students.

The agreement gives the company naming rights of statistics announced during breaks at high school athletic events; recognition as a title partner in announcements at the end of high school events; and signage that will be displayed at middle and high school athletic events. CMS and Hendrick Automotive Group will explore options for additional promotions, and the arrangement will not change any existing partnership agreements between individual schools’ booster clubs and other organizations.

CMS will use the sponsorship money to help pay coaching stipends, fees for officials and transportation costs for middle school athletics. Students must still pay some sports-participation fees, introduced by CMS for all middle and high school student-athletes last year.

“As someone who participated in sports growing up and has kids who played, I understand the impact those experiences can have on young people,” said Rick Hendrick, chairman of Hendrick Automotive Group.

“The lessons athletics teaches – teamwork, communication, leadership, dedication – are valuable, and they’re carried forward into life and business. We feel this sponsorship fits with our company values, and we’re proud to be associated with everyone who makes it possible for these student-athletes to be successful.”

Hendrick Automotive Group, headquartered in Charlotte, is one of the nation’s largest retail automotive operations. The company employs about 7,000 people at more than 100 franchises in 12 states, including 12 dealerships in the Charlotte area.

Chevrolet Sonic is Now in Production

2011-08-02T12:02:00.004-04:00

General Motors said it started production of its Chevrolet Sonic subcompact car today at its Orion Assembly plant. The Sonic, which will go on sale this fall, is the only subcompact car manufactured by an automaker in the U.S.

GM expects the fuel-efficient Sonic to get 40 m.p.g. on the highway when paired with the 1.4-liter turbo engine and six-speed manual transmission The car will come with 10 air bags, air-conditioning, power door locks, remote keyless entry and 15-inch alloy wheels.

GM said in June it will sell the Sonic at a starting price of $14,495 for the sedan version and $15,395 for the hatchback. That places the 2012 Sonic sedan $500 above the starting price of the Ford Fiesta and $1,375 below the Honda Fit.

Chevrolet Silverado HD Clinches 2011 Motor Trend Truck of the Year Award

2011-06-17T11:55:00.001-04:00

City Chevrolet, your most reliable Chevrolet car dealership in Charlotte, North Carolina, is proud to announce that the Chevrolet Silverado HD has swept the award for 2011 Motor Trend Truck of the Year. This is the second successive award for Chevrolet after the Volt was named the 2011 Car of the Year by Motor Trend.

We boast over Chevrolet’s success, and why not! Since 2006, this is the first time that one automotive brand has won both the Motor Trend Car and Motor Trend Truck of the Year award in the same year.

The juries evaluated two Silverados -- one was an extended-cab gas SRW and the other a crew-cab diesel dually. They compared two Ford Super Duties, two Sierra HDs and two Silverados in a back-to-back comparison, both on highway straights as well as twisty roads, and the Silverado came out as the unanimous winner of the award.

The Chevy engineers have worked hard and upgraded the Silverado HD for 2011. Although the exterior looks identical with the earlier versions, the underlying mechanics have been improved, pretty much to make the engine more powerful and stronger.

If you are looking for a reliable Chevrolet car dealership in or around North Carolina, then visit City Chevrolet today. Don’t forget to have a look at our vast inventory of both new and pre-owned cars. You may also schedule your Chevrolet service appointment online or by calling City Chevrolet.

Chevrolet Volt to be Available Across the Nation by End of 2011

2011-03-03T07:55:00.005-05:00

Since the launch of the Chevrolet Volt, a lot of people have expressed their interest in buying this environmentally friendly car.City Chevrolet, your leading Chevrolet dealer in Charlotte, North Carolina, is proud to announce that the new Chevrolet Volt would soon be available in our showroom and you can take delivery of this multiple award winning electric car during the third quarter of this year.

The Chevrolet Volt is an electric car and, based on EPA estimates, boasts a total driving range of up to 379 miles. With a fully charged Chevrolet Volt, you get the first 35 miles totally gas- and tailpipe-emissions-free. And when the Volt’s battery runs low, a gas-powered engine/generator comes into action and extends the driving range by another 344 miles on a full tank.

The Chevrolet Volt has won many prestigious awards and recognitions including 2011 North American Car of the Year, Motor Trend 2011 Car of the Year, Green Car Journal 2011 Green Car of the Year, AUTOMOBILE Magazine 2011 Automobile of the Year, Ward's AutoWorld 10 Best Engines for 2011, Car and Driver 10 Best for 2011, and 2010 Breakthrough Technology, by Popular Mechanics amongst others.
