Affordable Used Chevy Options

The number one thing that a used car dealership needs is used cars. A quick look at our inventory will reveal that we have a vast number of used cars, trucks, and SUVs for you to choose from. No matter what sort of used vehicle you are looking for, you will find it here at Parkway Chevrolet. Our selection includes dozens of models from virtually every major manufacturer, giving you the options you need to select the perfect car for your budget and lifestyle. Whether you are looking for an affordable older model or a lightly-used newer vehicle, we have something for you here on our dealership lot.

As a Chevy dealer, some of our most popular used models include the Chevy Silverado pickup truck, the Chevy Equinox compact SUV, and the Chevy Traverse midsize SUV. It is difficult to go wrong with any of these three models, and we almost always have a good number of them available on our lot. But our inventory of used cars is not limited to just the popular Chevy models. We also sell rarer Chevy vehicles, including the Chevy Camaro and Chevy Corvette sports cars, as well as a vast selection of models from other domestic and foreign manufacturers. No matter what you are looking for, you will find it here at Parkway Chevrolet.

Whatever catches your eye out of all the used cars we have available, you can buy secure in the knowledge that it meets our standards for quality and value. Every vehicle that we put on our lot has been examined by the certified technicians in our service department, ensuring that there are no hidden problems lurking under the hood. That level of attention is part of what sets Parkway Chevrolet apart from other used car dealerships and makes us your best option for used cars in the Houston area. We do not just want to make a sale; we want to build a lasting relationship with our customers.

Because Parkway Chevrolet is a certified Chevy dealer, we are able to offer our best used models for sale through Chevy's Certified Pre-Owned program. Every vehicle bearing a CPO tag must meet Chevy's rigorous quality standards and pass a thorough 172-point inspection. It is this attention to detail that enables CPO vehicles to be sold with extended factory warranties and support, including a 6-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. When you buy a Chevy CPO car, truck, or SUV, you are effectively getting all of the benefits of a new car at a significantly more affordable price.

Other Brands We Carry

If you're not looking for the traditional car, truck, or sedan but would prefer something designed for off-road adventure, we also carry popular used 4x4 models from Jeep. These are great options for shoppers with a spirit for adventure. When you need an SUV that can tackle all the challenges that come with driving off-road, we have a selection of vehicles fine-tuned for the experience. Jeep has established its name in being renowned for manufacturing rugged, off-road-ready sports utility trucks and 4x4s, and if you need a used off-road vehicle, we strive hard to keep those in stock.

But what about luxury brands? Well, you're in luck because, at Parkway Chevrolet, we also carry luxury cars too. This includes used models from Mercedes-Benz for those who want to turn heads while driving down the road or who want a great-looking vehicle known for being as luxurious as it is relaxing to drive. Alternatively, you can try your hand with a used BMW. The perfect combination of refined handling and sports-car-inspired stylings, a BMW is well worth it for those who appreciate that intersection between speed and luxury. Anyone who would prefer a luxury car that's more about comfort than combustion, we have used Cadillacs, too, offering an amazingly smooth ride with an impeccable exterior design to match.

At Parkway Chevrolet, we carry just about every kind of popular brand from the top automakers in the world, including various crossovers from Nissan and Volvo. This also includes highly popular vehicles from Infiniti and Toyota. If you want to purchase some of the best used trucks on the market, our selection of Fords will be sure to delight shoppers looking for trucks known for having great performance and fuel economy. Whatever kind of vehicle you need, we make sure to provide one of the best selections from popular brands at prices that work for you.

Used SUVs

Here at Parkway Family Chevrolet, we have a wide selection of used SUVs for you to choose from. Whether you are looking for an efficient daily commuter, a comfortable family hauler, or an off-road adventurer, we have the vehicle for you. Our expansive inventory includes not only high-quality Chevy SUV models but also an array of vehicles from many other manufacturers. With so many options to choose from, you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for. And, of course, our knowledgeable sales team is always happy to help you out in your search. To get you started, here are some of our most popular used SUV models.

Top of the list is the Chevy Equinox. This best-selling compact SUV is a great all-around vehicle, and we almost always have a number of them out on our lot. With seating for five, plenty of cargo space, and an efficient yet capable engine, it is difficult to go wrong with a used Chevy Equinox. However, if you do need something a little larger, then look for a used Chevy Traverse. With three rows of seats for up to eight passengers, this midsize SUV is perfect for larger families or people who simply need a bit more room. While the Chevy Traverse has plenty of interior space, it is still a manageable size, even on city streets.

If you do need a rugged full-size SUV, then there is the iconic Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban. These two models offer three rows of seats, truck-like construction, and powerful V8 engines, but the Chevy Suburban is a bit larger with a roomier interior for passengers and cargo. Whether you want to take your SUV off-road or use it to pull a trailer, the Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban give you what you need. But these four SUV models are just the beginning of what we have available here at Parkway Family Chevrolet.

We also have a great selection of SUVs from other brands, which makes us one of the best options for shoppers looking to buy from a quality used car dealer. We offer SUVs of varying sizes as well as from some of the top automakers in the world. This includes luxury SUVs such as the BMW X Series, featuring some of the best infotainment and convenience amenities available within the market. From the luxurious ride quality to the expansive infotainment touchscreens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, you can't ask for much more from a luxury SUV.

Shoppers looking for a good midsize option with plenty of gusto would do well to check out a used Jeep Grand Cherokee. The four-wheel drive SUV is available across multiple model years, giving you different options and features for this popular utility vehicle. The midsize vehicle is known for its sleek design, great fuel economy, and the plethora of options that help separate it both visually and functionally from the competition. This makes the Grand Cherokee a great option for those who want an SUV that stands out from the herd without breaking budgets while doing so. If you want a good midsize SUV that provides space and comfort for a low price, we also carry the Nissan Pathfinder and Ford Edge, perfect for those who want an SUV but aren't looking for a full-size vehicle.

Full-size luxury SUVs are also available, including the likes of the Cadillac Escalade, which has some of the best tow ratings available within its class. The full-size SUV seats up to eight people, providing passengers with plenty of room to move about. The Escalade also comes with quality upholstery, lots of great entertainment and technology features, as well as precise handling for being as large as it is, making it a great choice for those searching for something that's as spacious as it is stylish.

Used Trucks

If there is one thing that Chevy is known for, it is building capable, no-nonsense trucks. If you work hard and need a vehicle that can keep up, then a used Chevy truck is a great option that will provide you with the performance that you need without breaking the bank. Here at Parkway Family Chevrolet, we have a diverse collection of used midsize, full-size, and heavy-duty pickups waiting for you on our lot. These are not limited to just Chevy models either. We usually have a couple of used GMC, Ford, and Ram trucks available if those are more your style.

Our single most popular used truck model is the Chevy Silverado 1500. This half-ton truck is a highly versatile design that can accomplish virtually any job you can throw at it. With numerous cab, bed, and engine options, there is a used Chevy Silverado 1500 for everyone. Whether you are looking for a basic work truck, a comfortable personal vehicle, or a capable off-roader, the Chevy Silverado 1500 can meet your requirements. If you need more than a half-ton pickup can provide, there is always the larger and more powerful Chevy Silverado HD line. These top-of-the-line trucks are built from the ground up to be able to haul or tow almost anything and will more than meet the expectations of even the most serious trucker.

A less common but still popular used truck option at our dealership is the Chevy Colorado. This midsize truck makes a perfect daily driver and general-purpose pickup if you are not planning on using your truck for serious trailering. While it may not have the same headline numbers as a full-size truck, the Chevy Colorado is more nimble, compact, and affordable. These features make it particularly worth considering if you find yourself spending most of the time driving the busy Houston streets instead of working on a ranch or oilfield out in the country. If you are having trouble choosing the perfect used truck for your needs, then simply consult with the experts here at Parkway Family Chevrolet. We will soon have you behind the wheel of a used truck that will meet all of your requirements.

A good compromise between the dependability of the Chevy Silverado and the luxury some shoppers are looking for out of a pickup is the GMC Sierra. It's an excellent combination of a high-quality design and presence combined with the durability one comes to expect from the powertrains and drivability of the Chevy Silverado. With a used GMC Sierra, you're buying more than just a typical pickup with a GMC logo; you're buying into a quality brand that is known for lasting long and toughing it out through various road and weather conditions. The added benefit of the GMC Sierra is that it puts a lot of focus on high-quality interior cabin materials, so you not only have a powerful pickup under the wheel but a very comfortable and visually appealing one as well.

Another popular pickup on the market is the Ford F-150, which we do offer to potential shoppers. The F-150 is one of the overall best-selling vehicles on the market in North America, thanks to its powerful towing capabilities and design. So truck shoppers looking for a used version of the truck can usually find a good number of them in our inventory. This includes multiple model years, so you can find something that appeals to you.

For the ultimate in high-performance pickups, we also carry used Ram trucks. When you want a pickup with a lot of interior cabin space and a menacing fascia, many shoppers opt for Ram. The trucks have become notorious for their high-end horsepower output and immense torque, making them some of the best-rated pickups on the market for various high payload and towing functions. We also carry some used commercial trucks for those who need something reliable and rugged for delivery, transportation, and towing purposes.

Used Cars

Not everyone needs the interior space of an SUV or the power of a truck; that is why we also offer a wide variety of quality used cars here at Parkway Family Chevrolet. If you are looking for an efficient and affordable commuter, a stylish and feature-packed sedan, or a fast and exciting sports car, then the odds are that we have something here on our lot that will catch your eye. From our favorite Chevy models to a number of used cars from other manufacturers, our Houston dealership is filled with possible choices that will meet your needs.

The most popular used cars that we sell are the Chevy Malibu and the Chevy Impala. These two models both have long histories dating back to the muscle car era and have demonstrated themselves to be extremely reliable and versatile. The Chevy Malibu is a midsize model that makes for a comfortable commuter in its base trims and has a surprising turn of speed when equipped with its optional engines. The Chevy Impala is a full-size sedan that is loaded with luxury features and offers a comfortable backseat for carpooling or transporting friends and family.

Of course, traditional sedans are not the only used cars we sell here at Parkway Chevrolet. If you seek excitement, more often than not, we will have a used Chevy Camaro or even a Chevy Corvette waiting for you out on our lot. A test drive in one of these fun models will soon change your mind if you think that trucks and SUVs are better than cars. Whatever you are searching for, the team here at Parkway Chevrolet will make sure that you find the used car, truck, or SUV that best fits your needs and budget.

Among the sedans and high-performance cars that we sell used, we also carry used electric vehicles. If you're interested in experiencing what an all-electric vehicle has to offer, you can check out the very popular Chevy Bolt EV, which delivers up to 259 miles worth of range on a full charge. The compact hatchback makes for a great alternative to the traditional gas guzzlers available on the market.

Additionally, if you were looking for something more traditional in the midsize space, we also carry cars from other brands, including the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima. These two very popular sedans are known for being great-looking economical sedans that provide you a lot of respectable fuel economy for a price that won't break the bank. The sedans are known for being reliable and excellent options for those who want a midsize four-door vehicle. We also often have in stock one of the best-selling sedans of all time, the Honda Civic. Available in various trims and colors, the Civic has been a go-to vehicle for almost every kind of shopper visiting a used car dealer. A great price-point coupled with good fuel economy make it a great choice for new and veteran drivers alike.

Some of the most popular sports cars and roadsters available from other brands are available at Parkway Chevrolet, including the beefed-up, four-door Dodge Charger. This HEMI-powered muscle car from Dodge is the perfect option for those who want an affordable used car with a lot of muscle under the hood. Alternatively, the BMW 3 Series is another great luxury-themed sedan with a high-performance edge, which is well worth looking into for those who want a mix of high-performance and high-quality style from a used car.

How to Decide What You Need in a Used Car

Before you start shopping for your next vehicle, one of the most important things you can do to help ensure you get the perfect ride is to figure out what you actually need from your car. This is something that your dealership cannot do for you because we are not in your shoes––no matter how many questions we ask or how hard we try, we cannot know what it is like to live your life 24/7. Ultimately, you need to ask yourself some questions about what you do with your vehicle in order to recognize what you require from it.

For example, think about the passengers you typically have with you––not just once a year but every day or week. Someone with a family that includes four children is going to need a very different vehicle than a single adult without any children. Be realistic about this and consider your typical routine as well as any changes you might expect––or even some that could be surprises––in the next few years since you will likely have your car for quite a while.

You should also think about the kind of driving you typically do and where you tend to go. If your daily commute includes a lot of time on the highway, in bumper-to-bumper traffic, then you want a car with great fuel efficiency––preferably something designed to cut down on gas use in stop-and-go driving conditions. On the other hand, if you live somewhere that has a lot of dirt or gravel roads and few paved streets, then something with all-wheel drive can help you stay in control no matter where you are driving. These kinds of details are important and really add up in helping you decide on what you need to look for while shopping for your next used car.

Features to Look for in Your Next Used Car

In addition to considering the kinds of driving conditions and your daily lifestyle when looking at a used vehicle, there are also some specific features and things you might want to try and find. First and foremost among these are the different kinds of safety features available in various vehicles because they can differ significantly from one model to the next. Late-model vehicles from recent years are likely to have the most advanced options with impressive technology that includes features like audio safety warnings and alerts, as well as automatic emergency braking and other options.

This will depend on the models you are looking at, the year they are from, and the trim level of the vehicle in many instances. We suggest looking for advanced safety features in used models specifically because they are difficult to add afterward if they are something you want. Plenty of customers are interested in things like impressive sound systems or nice tires, but those can be fairly easy and inexpensive to add after you drive away. Radar systems or safety features with cameras are typically a lot more complicated––so look for those kinds of features rather than ones you can add later.

Beyond that, comfort features are among the options that the majority of our customers say they appreciate most. This includes things like comfortable upholstery, as well as the design of the seats themselves, including how easily they can be adjusted and things like heating. Look at the type of air conditioning in any vehicle you are interested in and make sure it seems to be in good working order. We do not have to tell you how important A/C is for a car here in Texas, and you are better off finding a vehicle with good climate controls than trying to have something added later.

Should You Trade In Your Current Vehicle?

In general, when you are shopping for your next vehicle, it is a good idea to take advantage of any opportunity to help make it more affordable. Used cars, trucks, and SUVs are already ideal for saving money since they are sold at lower prices than brand-new vehicles, plus you get to skip out on a lot of the initial depreciation that vehicles go through in their first few years. Using your current vehicle as a trade-in, however, can help reduce your overall costs even further by lowering what you need to pay for your next car.

Consider this: let us say you are interested in a used vehicle selling for $20,000, you are able to qualify for a loan with a 5% interest rate, plus you can make a down payment of $5,000 to help reduce the overall cost of the car. In this scenario, you could pay off the loan on the vehicle in five years with monthly payments of about $283––not bad. But, in the same situation, if you had a car that you could trade in for another $5,000––which is certainly not a remarkable amount––it would lower the monthly payments to just $188 per month. You could even pay off the vehicle with a four-year loan and still only have to make monthly payments of $230, thanks to the trade-in.

That is how much of a difference it can make if you have a car, truck, or SUV that you can use as a trade when you shop for your next vehicle. In many cases, using a vehicle as a trade-in also works well even if you still owe money on the car since it can simplify your total payments and still reduce what you owe. If we offer you $8,000 for a vehicle that you still owe $3,000 on, for example, that means your old loan is paid off, and you still have the difference of $5,000 to use toward your next vehicle. No matter what your situation looks like, talk to us about any trade-in you have to see how it can help you with your next car.

How to Keep Your Used Car in Great Shape

No matter how good a used car you find, you are going to put wear and tear on it simply by driving each day. In fact, even if you do not drive a car, certain things will still wear down and deteriorate with the passage of time regardless of what you do. This is why it is so important to take proper care of your vehicle so that it remains in great shape and continues to provide you with a safe, reliable vehicle for many years to come.

One of the best things you can do when it comes to properly maintaining your used car is to follow the manufacturer's recommended schedule for service. Yes, this means routine oil changes, yearly inspections and service, and more-extensive work every so often, as indicated by the manufacturer. We know this can seem like a lot of work, and some people worry that it is just a way to get more money from drivers, but it truly makes a difference in keeping your vehicle in great shape. It is also worth noting that hot Texas weather, especially if you drive in a lot of dusty conditions, is particularly hard on a vehicle, and you may need to follow an accelerated service schedule for your car.

Beyond routine scheduled maintenance and frequent inspections––you can easily check things like tire pressure, tire tread depth, and oil level yourself––it is vital that you listen to your vehicle. Any time you notice something feels or sounds off about how your car drives, pay attention to it and be aware. Minor things can happen that throw off the feel of your vehicle and then go away on their own––if something lingers, however, bring it to us to have it taken care of. If a warning light activates on your dashboard, then you need to respond to this quickly––it is not a suggestion but an indicator that something may be seriously wrong.
