Are you ready to get a nice new Chevy for you and your family? You have two options when it comes to shopping for one. You could start looking for one from a private seller, but most people will find it more beneficial to head to the Chevy dealer to go car shopping instead.

1. You Can See Everything in Person

When you shop for a car from a private seller, it’s not that easy to see all of your options in person. You have to rely exclusively on pictures when narrowing down your choices between different cars. If there are several cars that you want to see in person before deciding which one you want, then you’ll have to drive to several different places to see them. It’s much easier to see cars in person at the dealer, as all of your options are right there on the lot.

2. You Can Get a New Model

When buying from private sellers, you’re limited to buying used cars. Used cars are absolutely fantastic, but sometimes you’ll find a new car that you like more than a used one. You can only get new models from dealers, so if you have any interest in potentially getting a new model at all, then it’s worth heading to the dealer to see what they have.

3. You Can Apply for Financing

When buying a car privately, you’re limited to getting financing through traditional lenders such as banks and credit unions. However, not everybody can secure financing through these means.

People with poor credit histories may not be approved for loans from traditional lenders, but dealers regularly offer financing to people with low credit scores. Plus, people with excellent credit may qualify for certain promotional offers where you can finance your car with as little as 0% APR.

4. You Can Speak to Experts

The salespeople at dealerships have vast knowledge when it comes to all the cars on the lot. If you have any questions, then the salesperson helping you out will be happy to answer them for you. You can learn a whole lot about different cars, their features, and their suitability for certain types of drivers when you speak to salespeople at a dealership.

You can also learn a lot about what it’ll take to maintain the cars you have your eye on, as dealerships employ many mechanics with vast knowledge of Chevy vehicles.

5. You Have Quality Assurance

Dealerships need to uphold their excellent reputation, so they’ll never sell you a car that isn’t of great quality. You can’t be as assured of the quality of what you’re buying when you buy from a private seller.

Now you know the benefits of buying from a dealer, you’ll definitely want to stop by. Visit Rio Vista Chevrolet, and one of our salespeople will help you out with everything you need.
